Iiyama ProLite E2472HDD Review – LED for the masses

Rating: 9.0.

KitGuru loves a high quality LED backlit screen and with pricing continually dropping they are now firmly in the grasp of the mainstream audience. Unfortunately while LED television screens are normally much better than traditional CCFL models we have found at KitGuru that buying an LED monitor for your computer doesn't always translate to a significant jump in quality.

Today we are looking at the Ilyama ProLite E2472HDD which is an affordable LED backlit 24 inch screen and hopefully it will fare well during our testing. The E2472HDD is for all intents and purposes identical to the more commonplace ‘E2472HD' model, except it loses an HDMI port, falling back on a dual port VGA and DVI configuration.

  1. I dont think people appreciate how well priced technology is today. this is amazing value, 160 quid? bloody hell.

  2. What a great price. I see them for 200 euros here locally.

  3. 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?

  4. Well this looks to be quite the deal. im in the mode for some sapphire HD5770 flex loving, might pick three of these up.

  5. LED is such a good technology for low power consumption, thats an impressive budget panel.

  6. Well this is interesting. i didnt know LED screens had dropped so low in price recently.

  7. LEd for 160 ? and made by illyama? ill have a couple of these for dual screen 🙂

  8. very good screen but I think samsung make a similar panel at close pricing, its meant to be better.

  9. I think the model you mean Eric is the XL2370 23″ and its much more expensive.

  10. My daily trip to kitguru, news and hot reviews. this is a sexy looking value screen. 2ms? very nice.

  11. 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.

  12. I was looking for some monitors , and after a few billion options. I was wonderin about this one and a LG E2350 and well some samsungs. But then i came around to this http://www.trustedreviews.com/video/Iiyama-ProLite-E2472HD Not sure what i need to think of this monitor now , first repsonse seams that they are quiet strict on other site
