A superb TN panel, but it's just pipped to the post by its IPS-equipped rivals

[/vc_column_text]

This yellow tinge was more apparent during photo tests, lending skies a slight hazy feel. We had no complaints about the Iiyama screen’s viewing angles, though; they’re impressively wide for a TN monitor, and almost a match for the AOC screen’s IPS panel – wide viewing angles are one of the chief advantages of IPS.

Iiyama ProLite E2473HDS

Along with image quality, the E2473HDS’s build quality and specification help to explain its relatively high price. The monitor may only have tilt adjustment, but it sits securely on its large base, without the horrid wobble of many cheap screens. You also get DVI, VGA and HDMI inputs, and a second HDMI port on the side of the monitor. The screen also has built-in 2W speakers, which sound as poor as you’d expect but are fine for Skype calls and news broadcasts.

The Iiyama E2473HDS is evidence that panel technology is not the alpha and omega of image quality. Its colour accuracy is very nearly spot-on out of the box, and with a few tweaks it can match the very best monitors we’ve seen at this price. However, the Iiyama screen’s very slight yellow cast on whites means the AOC i2352Vh is still a superior display, and is currently just £131 from Amazon.
