Overview
Ergonomics
The Iiyama G-Master GB2790QSU-B1 has a classic design with well-finished matte black plastics. The Y-shaped stand is a little more original than the rectangular one on other Japanese screens, but this monitor is still very sober and could pass for a simple office screen.The G-Master GB2790QSU-B1 offers 13 cm height adjustment and tilt adjustment between -3° and +18°. It also has a pivot for portrait mode.The black matt plastic back is of good quality, and the manufacturer's previous models show that this plastic ages very well over time. Once the stand is removed, the monitor is compatible with 100 x 100 mm VESA mounts. All the coections are oriented downwards to be grouped at the base of the arm via a small pin that acts as a basic cable management system.The connectivity consists of an HDMI input, a DisplayPort input, a headphone output and two USB 3.0 ports. The screen also has two 2W speakers, which are far from exceptional but can be used for system sounds and short videos.The On-Screen Display (OSD) menus are navigated using five buttons on the edge of the screen. Not very practical, they lead to frequent handling errors. It's a shame that the manufacturer didn't opt for a joystick, as it does for some of its models (Iiyama ProLite XB3288UHSU-B1, for example).Unsurprisingly, the Iiyama GB2790QSU-B1 is very comfortable on our 120 x 80 cm desk. With a depth of 25.6 cm, the stand could be more compact, as some 32-inch models are content with a 15 cm deep model (AOC Q3279VWF). However, its airy design leaves enough room for the keyboard and mouse.The Quad HD definition of 2560 x 1440 pixels on this 27-inch panel results in an average resolution of 109 pixels per inch (PPI). This definition is excellent for games, especially at 240 Hz - a frequency that requires a powerful graphics card. It is comfortable for other tasks, such as office work or even surfing the internet, and provides enough workspace on this 27-inch diagonal.
