Iiyama has brought out two new monitors, the 24-inch XB2472HD-B and the 27-inch X2775HDS-B. Both use Vertical Alignment (VA) LCD technology, which creates a wide 178-degree viewing angle without the cost of IPS (in-plane switching). The vendor also claims that VA provides higher contrast and more uniform color than alternative display technologies, though it’s likely referring to TN (twisted nematic) and not the color-rich IPS.
The 27-inch ProLite X2775HDS-B provides a full 1080p resolution and a 5,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio helped largely by its LED backlight. Connectors include HDMI, DVI, VGA, and a four-port USB hub.
The smaller 24-inch ProLite XB2472HD-B features the same performance specs without the USB hub. The monitor can swivel from horizontal to vertical orientation, and the stand elevates up to 5.1 inches.
Pricing and availability for both displays hasn’t been given out, nor has news of whether they will ship outside of Japan. Some Iiyama displays do export to other countries.
