A new 24 inch monitor is listed as the iiyama G-Master G2450HSU, which is advertised as the best monitor for gaming for budget users – and therefore is equipped with very few features. The 1ms monitor has a VA panel with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels (Full HD), a maximum refresh rate of 75 Hz and does without HDR support.
The best 1080p monitor has a contrast ratio of 3000:1, the color depth at 8 bits, the brightness at 250 cd/m², and typical power consumption of 18 watts. FreeSync is represented as an anti-tearing measure, but apparently does not use LFC (“Low Frame Rate Compensation”) and therefore is only effective in the range from 48 to 75 Hz/fps. Alternatively, a mode against the blurring of moving images can be used – at least MBR (“ Motion Blur Reduction”) is mentioned in the specs.
On the connection side, DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 1.4, a USB 2.0 hub, and a headphone output are available. The game monitor can only be tilted but comes with a VESA mount (100 x 100 mm), a blue light filter, and a flicker-free backlight. Two internal 2-watt speakers and a black stabilizer are also part of the game.
