iiyama G-Master GB2560HSU-B3 Gaming Monitor with Strong Ergonomics

The recently commercially available best budget gaming monitor iiyama G-Master G2560HSU-B3 will soon have a sister model with significantly better ergonomics and otherwise identical properties. The G-Master GB2560HSU-B3 also uses a 24.5-inch TN panel with full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels), a maximum of 165 Hz refresh rate, and a faster response time.

The contrast ratio is 1000: 1, the brightness is 400 cd/m², and the color depth at 8 bits. Other new features of the 165hz monitor include two internal 2-watt speakers and FreeSync Premium anti-tearing technology. On the interface side, the iiyama GB2560HSU-B3 packs DisplayPort 1.3, HDMI 2.0, a USB 2.0 hub, and a headphone output. The typical power consumption of the monitor is 22 watts, according to the datasheet.

But now to the ergonomic advantages of the 24.5-inch model already mentioned: With rotation, inclination, height adjustment, pivot, VESA mounting (100 x 100 mm), blue light filtering, and flicker-free background lighting, most requests in this regard should be well covered.
