iiyama XUB2792HSU-B6

The XUB2792HSU-B6 hits the 89th percentile for performance with its 100Hz refresh rate and 0.4ms response time, and the 91st percentile connectivity with dual USB-C is a standout. But the color score sits at the 17th percentile, and the overall total is just 42.9 out of 100. It's a fast office monitor with a mediocre picture.

The headline number here is the 100Hz refresh rate paired with that 0.4ms response time. In our database, that lands this monitor in the 89th percentile for performance, which is one of the best on the market for a panel in this price bracket. The 1300:1 contrast ratio is also solid, and FreeSync means you won't get screen tearing if you decide to fire up a game after work. For a 1080p IPS panel, this thing moves.

But here's the catch. The display score overall is only at the 54th percentile, which is about average. The 250 nits brightness is fine for a dim office but will struggle near a sunny window. And the color score at the 17th percentile is a weak spot. If you're doing photo or web design work, the marketing copy mentions it, but the numbers don't back it up. This is a fast monitor with a mediocre picture, not the other way around.

Stacked against the competition, the iiyama is in a weird spot. The ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCDMG and MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED E2 are in a completely different league for color and display quality, but they also cost significantly more. The LG UltraGear 27GX790A-B and Samsung Odyssey G60SD offer better gaming performance with higher refresh rates and better panels. Where the iiyama wins is connectivity, that 91st percentile score beats most of these competitors, and the price is lower than all of them. But the 17th percentile color score means it loses to every single one of these monitors on picture quality. It's a trade-off, and you need to decide which side of that trade you're on.

At $332 USD or 328-331 EUR, the XUB2792HSU-B6 is asking a lot for what it delivers. The performance and connectivity scores are genuinely impressive for the price, but the color and feature scores drag the total down to 42.9 out of 100. You're paying for speed and ports, not picture quality. If you need a fast office monitor with USB-C docking, this could make sense. If you care about color accuracy or brightness, that money goes further elsewhere.

The iiyama ProLite XUB2792HSU-B6 is a 27-inch 1080p IPS panel that punches above its weight in a couple of key areas, but stumbles hard in others. Our database puts its performance at the 89th percentile and connectivity at the 91st, which sounds great until you look at the color score sitting at the 17th percentile and the overall total of 42.9 out of 100. This is a monitor with a split personality, and the numbers tell the story better than any marketing blurb.

At around $332 USD or 328-331 EUR, you're getting a 100Hz refresh rate, a claimed 0.4ms response time, and FreeSync support. That's a genuinely unusual combo for what is essentially an office monitor. But the 250 nits brightness and the 2.8 out of 5 customer rating from just two reviews suggest this thing isn't winning any popularity contests. The spec sheet says one thing, the scorecard says another, and we're here to sort out which one you should believe.

Skip this if you care about color accuracy, brightness, or features. The 17th percentile color score is one of the worst we've seen, and 250 nits will struggle in bright rooms. The feature score at the 21st percentile means you're missing out on extras that competitors include. And with a 2.8 out of 5 customer rating from just two reviews, there's not much social proof to fall back on. If you're doing creative work or want a monitor that looks great out of the box, this isn't it.

The iiyama ProLite XUB2792HSU-B6 is a fast, well-connected office monitor that happens to have a 100Hz refresh rate. The performance numbers are legit, and the USB-C hub is genuinely useful. But the color performance is bad enough that we can't recommend it for anything involving visual accuracy, and the 2.8 out of 5 customer rating doesn't inspire confidence. If you need a speedy work monitor with great ports and don't care about color, this is a solid pick. If you care about how things look on screen, keep scrolling.
