The Prolite E2472HDD panel arrives in a plain brown box with stylish blue squares on the right side. The ‘HDD' has no HDMI port, so if you need that, look for the ‘HD' model.
The package contains both DVI and VGA cables, the external power adapter, a manual and a power connector. There is also the stand which screws into the base of the monitor by hand. This thumb ‘ring' screw is easy to connect and took us about 20 seconds to secure. The weaklings among you might need a screwdriver for the last few turns.
The 24 inch monitor is very attractive with a thin 1.7cm bezel and touch sensitive controls with a glossy black finish. The specifications are 5,000,000:1 ACR with a fast 2ms reported response time which we will look at later in the review.
The only downside is that with all the high gloss finish, the panel attracts dust and fingerprints very easily. The thin lines are flowing and no silly glaring design decisions mar the overall appearance of the unit.
iiyama have cleverly built the power source into an external adapter meaning the LED monitor can be kept as slim as possible. It is 2cm deep at the edges and 3cm deep at the back. Very sexy indeed.
You certainly wouldn't confuse the rear with Jennifer Lopez, it is svelte and very understated with only the dual input connectors in the middle.
DVI and VGA are the only options on offer – the ‘double D' version omits HDMI. To the right is a power connector for the external adapter. We like the fact that iiyama have opted to keep the power electronics outside the chassis as they are able to reduce the size of the rear assembly.
The stand is a dust magnet and requires constant cleaning to look spanking new.
I dont think people appreciate how well priced technology is today. this is amazing value, 160 quid? bloody hell.
What a great price. I see them for 200 euros here locally.
wow, just wow. LED, DVI. at that price. I know there are a few others, but I never know illyama did them so cheap at this size. do they do a 1920×1200 model?
Well this looks to be quite the deal. im in the mode for some sapphire HD5770 flex loving, might pick three of these up.
LED is such a good technology for low power consumption, thats an impressive budget panel.
Well this is interesting. i didnt know LED screens had dropped so low in price recently.
LEd for 160 ? and made by illyama? ill have a couple of these for dual screen 🙂
very good screen but I think samsung make a similar panel at close pricing, its meant to be better.
I think the model you mean Eric is the XL2370 23″ and its much more expensive.
My daily trip to kitguru, news and hot reviews. this is a sexy looking value screen. 2ms? very nice.
Well tickle me with a toothbrush and cover me in vegetable oil. This is very good for the money. Seems only minor weaknesses for the pricing point.
