Back to Iiyama ...
Here was the first not quite right, and many large light patches like a strange gradient from top to bottom ... then white was not white, but yellow nicotine. This did not fit into the picture after the Prad test and recessions. Chat Amazon I am informed and the next day was actually already the new da ... UNBELIEVABLE !!! There's nothing faster .... really great! 5 stars on Amazon ... and the service is simply incomparable !!!
The second now is really great ... you always remember ... we are talking about a monitor in 27 inches with a resolution of 500 WQHD, - uro !!! Since one can not expect simply that everything is perfect is there and I do not tuhe!
What are my requirements for the monitor?
Games, browsing and image editing via Lightroom.
let's get started!
PACKING
The device is packaged well and safely. Only the Panel that is not masked with a film wondering. Since only was a "bag" slips on and finished. I find it ok. no more and no less. Inside the box is a dual-link DVI, one HDMI and one DisplayPort cable with. I run the unit with DVI.
APPEARANCE
If you look at the monitor, it's really nice. If the first (very simple design) has been established. looks really very precious. Also, the plastic does not feel cheap at, or does not feel cheaper than my old EIZO. The time has more than 1,000, - tasted uro. Only once in passing. The front acts first as if it reflects, but that they really do hardly. I often sit in low light front of the computer and it looks really good so no reflections. Really great and I've rarely seen in this quality.
PROCESSING
This is a difficult subject, the first had many and large bright patches that have a really taken the fun, the second has only one and does not stand out in the operation. Therefore, it bothers me very little. The panel is free of pixel errors, and there is no IPS glitter ... a dream! So much for the panel. The case is processed surprisingly good for this price range. A friend of my ASUS monitor in 27 inches and WQHD resolution. He told me that at the is processing quite easy and cheap. Since I can not say at the Iiyama. The attitude of the monitor is very beautiful and this looks very elegant. I would say there would go more, but for the price range really good! The silver bar is made of plastic, but it feels not cheap, simple but not cheap ...
ERGONOMICS
The monitor can actually everything except the pivot function. Thus the issue would be through already and can therefore almost nothing to be desired!
Gaming capabilities
I play a lot on the PC, of EGO shooters to racing games is actually almost more. The games work in this HD resolution just MEGA powerful ... me it easy to skin when I play Counter Strike GO or Assetto Corsa driving with a steering wheel. It really is a stunner. Regardless of all the measured values that are circulating so on various test sites, I can monitor absolutely know to play! I feel no input lag or other problems with delays or excessive streaking. I'm used to 60Hz and I therefore have no desire. I would rather have a good picture quality and he has! I can only say that for all who have no problem with 60Hz games, this monitor is a must!
Office use
Simple desktop applications, such as surfing and writing emails, impress with its high resolution. Texts are given razor sharp again, what really excited. You get used to but unfortunately too fast off .. you know it when you get back to work and there needs to tap its simple TN Panel with not even FULL HD. Again, full recommendation for people who need no pivot function!
IMAGE EDITING
I work a lot with Lightroom 5 from Adobe and also because I am very surprised. One can simply work better with the resolution. If you zoom to the 100% level to mask simply keeps track of more viewing area. You have to have just tested times. It is convenient and very nice to see his RAW's times in a higher quality. Due to its high color fidelity, it should also not be a problem, which I could not tell. And at this price point ... I have to say it again and again !! 500, - uro !!!!
MENU
The OSD of the Monitor menu is quite simple and actually offers everything you need. There you can the einzellenen colors so dosed as different color temperature, select. Among other things, the overdrive function. But I've left out. Since my image like best. It can also be set to German, which nowadays is not so self-evident.
All in all, it is self-explanatory. It is not covered with any technical terms ... Easy wins in this case.
Is operated via the menu touch keys. I find it actually is not so good, but I already had in my EIZO and get so "good" deal. You do it also not so often .. if you have set it again ... do you really need it no longer. Therefore, it is OK.
MOVIES
I can not say much about it, I watch movies on my TV ... However, I would say half and half ... ... because these monitors have less to contend with atriums, as with Backlight bleeding, which is not now his supreme discipline. Although one sees even in dark moments. Difficult, here it feels any different ... I'm really very very picky, but it bothers me not on the monitor. Here you just have to test times ... Who wants to just watch movies, should be a Samsung F8090 down ... so it makes even more fun.
GUARANTEE
The Iiyama Support told me that giving the unit the 3 year warranty. And with delivery and pick up service. I knew only from EIZO. Because I had called about the first defect in Iiyama. The service worked really very serious and very friendly! Absolutely super .... it must be!
I hope I could make a good impression of the device for all who seek in the small WQHD jungle for a good monitor. It has unfortunately become really difficult to find a useful monitor and can only recommend this. I think the power supply pipe has now been settled completely and there is no longer really.
UPDATE:
So, I got the monitor now about 60 days. As before, I am satisfied. The picture is really great. Everything seems to me as if painted. Really great thing. But yesterday I discovered but actually one pixel error. But he is really so small, that you always have to look for him. Only now that we know that there is a, one wishes to make a second change to the monitor. As I read the warranty condition, which applies only to a second pixel. But I always have bad luck, have 3 monitors, wherever one was with a pixel errors here.
UPDATE 2 02/04/2014:
So I have now with Iiyama back and forth written, the monitor is only replaced when more than 1 pixel is defective. Somewhere there must indeed be a tolerance. And in the resolution, the pixels are so small that simply ignores him. I need to really seek and find him. That's why I'm going there now open barrel and no hook or by crook exchanging ... unfortunately I have never had a monitor that had the no dead pixels, no matter whether EIZO, NEC, Samsung, and now Iiyama ... I'm kinda a jinx. Something is always somehow. Like I said ... it's not so bad. Initially disturbs something easy and you always looks after the defective pixels. Now have passed couple of days and I do not see the. Even has my monitor at work, my NEC one of the always glows red and the resolution at 1680x1050 bothers me have been whittled away.
Here at this point I recommend to all values to keep the Iiyama on standard unless the brightness. The I now to 20-25. I noticed that the monitor is still extremely bright. This also Clouding and Bleeding is reduced quite extreme.
