A Closer Look
This Iiyama monitor certainly makes a sound impression, with a huge panel that’s sure to dominate your vision and let you get absorbed in your media or work of choice. The IPS panel has a matte finish, so it’s good at deflecting unwanted glair too. Plus, even on a bright day, the 350-nit brightness should be able to shine through. The bezel is nice and slim on the top and sides, again keeping the ultrawide panel as the only thing that’ll grab your attention. There’s a small bezel at the bottom too, this is often thicker, but Iiyama has done a great job of keeping this minimal. Furthermore, the Iiyama logo is understated too, so as not to distract you.
On the front right of the bottom bezel, you’ll find a handy set of controls, allowing you to quickly and easily configure any settings. There’s also a standby button here for turning the monitor on/off.
Despite the larger size, the GB3461WQSU isn’t actually that thick. Obviously, it’s thinner at the edges, but even the thicker section in the middle is pretty slim. This is good news for those wall mounting it, as it’ll stick closer to the wall. The monitor isn’t overly heavy either, so mounting it on a moving arm or stand shouldn’t be an issue.
The included stand is decent too though, offering a good range of angle adjustment on both the horizontal and vertical axis.
You can easily adjust the height too, ensuring you always have the perfect viewing angle.
The base of the stand isn’t too big but keeps the monitor surprisingly stable despite the size. Just above it, there’s a cable routing hole, which should help keep the back of your desk nice and tidy.
As for cables, the monitor will accept 2 x HDMI and 2 x DP, so hooking up multiple devices won’t be an issue. There’s also a USB pass-through feature which also supports device charging on the yellow port.
