Review: iiyama ProLite XUB3493WQSU

Conclusion

For fans of an ultrawide form factor, it is easy to appreciate the iiyama ProLite XUB3493WQSU.

At a cost of under £350, this 34in IPS solution proffers a flat 3,440x1,440 canvas that is ideal for productivity, and with FreeSync/G-Sync compatibility at up to 75Hz, it is adept at serving up silky-smooth gaming.

There are weaknesses, as it to be expected, and they include basic HDR credentials, below-average out-the-box colour accuracy, and limited contrast. Neither of these should be considered a deal-breaker for everyday use and casual gaming, however the amount of backlight bleed on our review unit is somewhat off-putting. The severity of bleed will no doubt vary from one sample to the next, and others may get lucky, but once you're aware of the unwanted glow, it can be hard to ignore.

Still, you can't have everything at this price point, and for those who have been waiting to upgrade to a good-sized ultrawide monitor, the ProLite XUB3493WQSU is a capable all-rounder that won't break the bank.
