Iiyama G-Master GB3461WQSU 34″ Ultrawide Monitor Review

Performance

Out of the box, the monitor performed very well indeed. It’s not uncommon for a more premium monitor to deliver 100% of the sRGB colour chart, but it’s still nice to see this monitor counts as one of them. What is impressive though is that it’ll cover much of the DCI-P3 chart too. What does all this mean? Well, it has a lot more colour than you’ll see on lesser models. The reds, blues and greens are exceptionally rich.

The IPS panel does well delivering on colour accuracy too, Typically anything over 5 Delta-E can be seen by the human eye, and anything under 2 is classed as exceptionally good, which means that for the most part, a professional calibration isn’t really needed.

For a bit of photo or video editing, you’re going to get a lot of kicks out of this monitor. The ultrawide format means you’ve got a lot of room to see timelines or your editing software, and even to have multiple windows side by side with comfort.

Furthermore, accurate colours and that high refresh rate just make it a pleasant and reliable platform to do your editing work too.

As for gaming, well the photo speaks for itself. The wider level of immersion of such a wide panel is awesome. Everything moves super smoothly thanks to the FreeSync premium offering a range of 48Hz up to 144 Hz so screen tearing should be pretty much non-existent. 48Hz is a good minimum too, as it’s going to scale well with 24 FPS movie content and won’t lead to any tracking stutter.

Movies, YouTube, and all kinds of other media come in various formats, but it’s amazing just how many movies use a format wider than 16:9. While you’ll get borders on the sides for 16:9 content, movies with a wider scope will fill the screen beautifully.

Plus, with this width, you can get two screens side by side with ease.

And even a three-window configuration with one in the middle works really well. Plus 3440 x 1440 offers a good pixel density, making smaller text easy to read.
