14 DAY TRIAL // Well-known monitor manufacturer, Japanese company Iiyama has just announced a new 24-bit professional monitor on the company’s official website. The new addition to Iiyama’s product lineup is a 27” model that uses WLED technology implemented in a VA LCD panel.
Make sure you read the first, second and third parts of our professional display technologies presentation for more technical info.
The new device is called Iiyama’s ProLite XB2780HSU and boosts a 5,000,000 to 1 dynamic contrast ratio and a 1920 by 1080 FullHD pixel resolution, but unfortunately the manufacturer doesn’t tell us what kind of VA panel are they using.
Modern VA panels can be MVA, PMVA and AMVA or SMVA, and each one has specific advantages and characteristics.
The real contrast ratio is a decent 5000:1.
On the connectivity side, Iiyama’s ProLite XB2780HSU professional monitor comes with a HDMI port, a DVI-D connector, a classic D-SUB 15 port, two audio jacks, one USB B-type connector and two USB 2.0 slots.
The monitor also comes with a mobile stand that allows the user to swivel the monitor in any position desirable, although placing such a monitor in a portrait position is a completely different experience when compared to 4:3 format monitors.
Iiyama’s new ProLite XB2780HSU professional monitor weighs in at 7.6 kg, which is about 16.7 pounds.
The price is estimated to be around $500, and the manufacturer even recommends buying two of them and placing the side by side in portrait mode to achieve more display work space.
That’s about €400 for a professional 24-bit monitor using a VA panel with a 5 milliseconds GtG response time.
The rated brightness is 300 cd/sqm and the maximum power consumption is 41 watts including the two integrated 2-watt speakers.
The integrated USB 2.0 HUB has a total of 4 ports.
