Today we will look at the monitor ProLite XUB2796QSU from Iiyama from the year 2018. Within this article, we will first take a closer look at the most important feature of a monitor -the display-, then the design, and in the next section we will go into the features of the monitor. Of course, power consumption, certifications, connectivity and other important details will also be considered.
Display
Games, texts, videos and/or other applications can be displayed on the monitor's 27 inches ( 68.4 cm on the diagonal). Let's keep it short and sweet. The monitor has an aspect ratio of 1.778 : 1. In addition to the aspect ratios and the specified screen diagonal, the ratio between the monitor surface and the actual display could also be important for some enthusiasts. This ratio describes the general relationship between the non-display area and the display. In other words, approximately 90.5 % of the front surface of the monitor consists of the display, while the remaining percent consists of screen edges and does not enable image reproduction. When setting up several monitors next to each other, it is advisable to prefer models with the narrowest possible edges. The display is a VA panel. The panel has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 px. The pixel density is 168 ppi. The pixel pitch is 0.155 mm. The continuous possible brightness specified by the manufacturer Iiyama is 500 nt. The panel is illuminated by Direct LED. The built-in panel ensures stable color reproduction of the image, even at deviating viewing angles, by means of its 178 ° (horizontal) viewing angle. Iiyama promises stable color reproduction moreover within a 178 ° vertical angle. Vertically, however, the image renews at a minimum rate of 50 hz up to 50 hz. The minimum response time of the monitor is ms. The display panel is Anti-glare/Matte (3H).
Color space
The panel has a bit depth of 8 per color channel, but what does that mean? The number of bits determines how many colors can be encoded for the individual pixels of the display. For an 8-bit panel, for example, this is 256 different colors (2^8 = 256). However, since we usually display three different colors per pixel at the same time, in theory about 16 million (256^3) different colors are possible by mixing the three pixels. A 10-bit panel could even display a billion colors. The coverage of the Adobe RGB 1998 color space is 115 % according to the manufacturer. According to the manufacturer, the coverage of the SRGB color space is 107 %.
Contrast ratio
Contrast ratio is a common measurement used to represent the maximum relative differences in brightness between black and white. It describes the ability of a screen or projector to produce a high-contrast image and is the quotient of the maximum and minimum displayable luminance. The higher the values are away from each other, the stronger the quantitatively seen difference between black and white is set up, which in turn results in an improved image quality. This monitor from Iiyama has a static contrast ratio of 800 : 1 , according to the manufacturer. In contrast to the static contrast ratio, the dynamic contrast ratio changes the brightness of the panel itself in addition to the difference measurement from black to white. In addition to the difference between the brightest and the darkest pixel, the backlight is thus changed. Since the brightness of the panel may not be able to be adjusted exactly to a single pixel, a so-called halo effect is possible. The value of 100000000 : 1 of dynamic contrast ratio for the monitor ProLite XUB2796QSU cannot provide any information about the severity of the halo effect here. Therefore, it is more useful to compare the static contrast ratio.
HDR
The monitor supports all HDR modes listed here:
screen design
The following dimensions must be planned for a free-standing stand without attached feet/stand: 34.1 cm x 60.3 cm x 2.6 cm (HxWxD)
The size of the ProLite XUB2796QSU on the desk is likely to be particularly relevant for most users. Iiyama specifies a space requirement of 40.3 x 60.4 x 19.2 cm (HxWxD) with the included stand. As for the weight, Iiyama states a total weight of 8.48 kg with stand. The monitor ProLite XUB2796QSU without the stand weighs 4.77 kg. This weight reduction should be taken into account for wall or arm mounting, since monitor arms have a maximum load capacity. Speaking of weight without a stand and thus wall or table mounts. The monitor supports a Vesa mounting. A height-adjustable stand ensures an improved ergonomic posture during use. The monitor can be moved to a maximum height of 11 cm. This value is always measured from the bottom edge of the screen.
Rotate, tilt and swivel
The monitor from Iiyama cannot be rotated. The ProLite XUB2796QSU can be swiveled when mounted on the included stand. Pivoting to the left is possible up to 90 degree. Pivoting to the right is possible up to 90 degree. The monitor ProLite XUB2796QSU can be tilted. The angle of inclination to the rear is 25. The monitor can be tilted forward by 8 degree.
Ports
camera
This monitor does not have a camera.
Loudspeaker
The monitor from Iiyama has integrated speakers, for playing sounds, music or speech. The sound is emitted via 2 speakers, which are integrated into the device. Each of the built-in speakers has a contingent of 12 w power.
Features
- The display/monitor supports Frame Rate Compensation.
Anyone who works a lot on the computer spends many hours a day in front of the screen. Excessive screen work can damage the eyes. This effect can be particularly pronounced during the darker hours and in the winter months. Many monitor manufacturers have now reacted and offer technologies and settings to reduce the blue component, which is primarily controversial. Depending on the manufacturer, these can be called "Low Blue Light", "Low Blue Light Technology", "SoftBlue" or even "Eye Saver Mode" and function differently. However, it is only important that Iiyama offers a technology to reduce the blue content in its monitor ProLite XUB2796QSU.
WiFi / Bluetooth
Power consumption
The average consumption figure for ProLite XUB2796QSU is 64.69 w. The maximum power consumption (peak) specified for this monitor is 87 w. In standby mode, the device consumes approximately 0.31 w. When switched off, on the other hand, the monitor consumes only 0.27 w. The monitor can be operated on a 110v power supply. The monitor can be operated on a 220v power supply. The power grid has to supply a frequency of 50 hz to 60 hz.
Environment
During operation, the ambient temperature must not exceed 40 °C , to ensure full functionality. Below a temperature of 0 °C , the monitor from Iiyama should again not be used. The humidity must not exceed 85 percent. At least, however, 20 percent humidity.
