Iiyama has added two new gaming monitors to its high-end G-Master Red Eagle series. They are similar in some aspects but quite different in others, as you will see in the comparative specs table below. In brief though, they are both curved gaming monitors with VA panels, FreeSync Premium, 1ms MPRT response times, faster refresh rates (144Hz+), are three sided borderless designs, and have built in speakers.
The 24-inch G2466HSU has a 40-165Hz screen with 1920 x 1080 pixels. The screen curvature is 1500R, said to increase immersiveness. Looking deeper into the 16.7 million colour panel specs, it has a max brightness of 250nits and static contrast ratio of 3,000:1. Already, in the intro, I mentioned panel type, response time, and VRR compatibility.
Iiyama's 32-inch GB3266QSU has a 48-144Hz screen with 2560 x 1440 pixels. The screen curvature here is the gentler 1800R. This screen has a max brightness of 400nits and static contrast ratio of 3,000:1. A welcome bonus of this bigger monitor, compared to the 24-incher, is that it features a height adjustable stand.
Moving back to commonalities between the new curved G-Master Red Eagle monitors, they both feature similar connectivity options including a USB hub and headphone connectors. Furthermore, both have the following hardware/firmware features available; flicker-free and blue light modes, OverDrive, Black Tuner, LFC (low framerate compensation), and support for pre-set and user game-modes.
