The iiyama G-Master G2745QSU-B1 box is monochrome, but at least it has some hint of the gaming intentions of the screen inside, which thankfully isn't monochrome. iiyama's professional monitor boxes are beige.
Inside is a power lead, plus HDMI, DisplayPort and USB upstream wiring.
Like most iiyama screens, whether professional or for gaming, the main design theme is black. There is a definite absence of bling in any form, which might not satisfy the hardened player of first person shooters, but the overall build feels solid and dependable.
Adjustments are comprehensive. iiyama doesn't state figures for swivel, but the angle appears to be 45 degrees in either direction. Tilt is 4 degrees forward and 22 degrees backward. You can raise or lower the panel on its stand, too, but again iiyama doesn't state the range. We measured it as 155mm, which is quite a lot. You can also spin the screen 90 degrees into portrait mode.
The power socket is on one side of the stand at the back, with all the rest of the ports on the other (on the left when looking from the front). These include DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 1.4 for video, which aren't the latest standards but sufficient for the resolution and refresh rate of this monitor. There are two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A ports and a Type B for the upstream connection to your PC. Finally, a minijack is available for audio output. You will want to use that or external speakers, because the built-in 2W ones are very weedy.
The menu is controlled by buttons on the bottom right-hand-side edge of the bezel, with symbols and text on the front to tell you what each button does.
