Ultrawide gaming monitors continue to increase in popularity, and thankfully they are also getting more and more affordable. The iiyama GB3480WQSU offers a standard 3440x1440 VA panel with 1500R curvature, up to 180Hz refresh rate via overclocking, alongside adaptive sync and a claimed 4000:1 contrast ratio... all for £340.

I did always think he had it set wrong as it looked a bit blueish out of the box, but he didnt care. maybe the target audience for these screens just dont look at this too closely!

I bought this screen, it is ok. I found the stand is very poorly designed and doesnt articulate the way id hoped. Its clearly got a blue balance to the image, noticeable to my eye. I changed the settings to those you recommended and its helped a lot, so thank you. Gamma, same for me, broken. same image with both. Apart from that, gaming with iracing last night, was enjoyable and Im quite happy with it - I paid 300 for mine, not sure how some people here for it for less. I looked everywhere. got mine on ebay from a reseller. Good review, keep up the good work

People complaining in the comments - need to get a grip, this is a very cheap panel for the size, there will always be compromises. I have it, and its great for gaming, I dont care about gamma and grayscale stuff. looks good to me.

Some of ppl who commented here mentioned about video showed some settings (i assume that these are RGB settings) for this monitor. I watched video few times but still can't notice when you show them. I have bought this monitor and it's awesome compared to my old 5 years old IPS (black is more like black, blur is less noticeable, color gamut is wider and higher refresh rate is great) but i can't fix yellow tint at white background. I have tried default settings and R100 G89 B89 settings which i have found in the other review.

Hmm, this may be similar to a Dell monitor - S3422DWG. I would not be surprised if they were the OEM for some of their products.

It is tough getting a well balanced big panel at this price, you always have to accept problems, its just whether those problems are important to you

Oh dear, im sad about this one - had high hopes for at least semi accurate colors and greyscale. the fact two of the gamma settings are identical seems to indicate that illyama really have just rushed this out the door. Are over the air or updates from a PC possible later if they did fix it? Anyone know?

Dominic, quick question, how long did this take you to calibrate - how much is the gear you use to do that? More than the monitor cost I imagine
@KitGuruTech
@KitGuruTech 21 күн бұрын
The calibration process itself is fairly quick - around 10 minutes. I use Calman Ultimate software which is around $2000 for a user license (I know!), the X-rite iDisplay Pro Plus colorimeter alone is around £250-300. So it's definitely not reasonable to expect anyone buying a budget monitor like this to have the necessary tools
