Have it your way! Choose one of the predefined gaming modes (including FPS and strategy) or set and memorize your own settings. Finally, the Setup Menu lets you configure the way the video input is displayed, with 17, 19, 19.5, 21.5, 23 and 24in options. The first two are 5:4 aspect and others 16:9. With an HDMI input, you can choose whether to use the full or limited RGB range. You can enable or disable FreeSync and HDR, whether the opening logo is displayed as well as the power LED. Memory recall is actually the factory reset option. You're also rather spoiled for connectivity, with two HDMI and two DisplayPort connections. The USB 3.0 hub will be handy, but primarily for keyboard and mouse, because there are only two ports, which is a bit of a disappointment. There is also a comprehensive range of adjustability available.

Brightness uniformity is merely so-so, with problem areas along both edges apart from the top left-hand corner. We pay careful attention to any artefacts, ghosting or motion blur, and enable any gaming-specific features, such as adaptive-sync settings like G-Sync or FreeSync, using a compatible graphics card in our test PC. Information about the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. A higher resolution allows the display of a more detailed and of higher quality image. Approximate diagonal size of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the diagonal is calculated from the width and height of the screen. Larger, increasingly bright displays typically take a toll on power draw, but for a 34in solution the iiyama can be kept frugal. 24 watts at minimum brightness is very efficient for a screen of this ilk. Colour Uniformity Luminance UniformityInformation of the number of pixels in a unit of length. With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases. There's a decent if not outstanding range of gaming-specific OSD features available, although not as many as the particularly gaming-focused screens from other manufacturers. The menu itself is functional rather than inspiring, but well organised. Of course, this is a gaming-focused display so we had to fire up our usual selection of games including CS:GO, Rainbow 6 Siege and League of Legends, but added Shadow Warrior 2 for HDR support. We enabled the FPS Gaming Mode preset for the first two games, and Strategy for LoL. We also enabled FreeSync since it isn't turned on by default.

Under OSD settings you can change the position of the OSD and how long it stays onscreen, as well as call up information about the current screen signal input. The third button along simply adjusts the volume on the stereo 5W built-in speakers, or headphones if you're using those instead. This monitor supports displaying HDR content and guarantees low input latency and low framerate compensation putting an end to any tearing or stuttering issues at virtually any framerate. IPS TechnologyThere are various panel technologies. Each has its own specific features - viewing angles, color reproduction, response time, brightness/contrast, production cost, etc. The image quality depends directly on the type of the display panel used.
