The Iiyama Red Eagle G-MASTER GB2560HSU isn't quite the perfect 24in gaming screen, but it does check quite a few boxes. Gameplay is smooth thanks to the 144Hz refresh and adaptive sync (assuming you have AMD graphics), and the colour accuracy is excellent. There's a good range of adjustment available, both physically and via the OSD. It's also not too expensive for a high refresh-rate monitor, at around £220.
However, many gamers may expect a curved screen at this size, or will be considering something larger than 24.5in unless desk space is limited. The 2,560 x 1,440 resolution also appears to be taking its place as the optimum compromise between quality and what graphics cards can smoothly deliver, and this is only a Full HD panel.
The two-port USB hub's 2.0 standard will also mean that it's more for making mouse and keyboard attachment easier, than providing a more convenient way to connect external storage for rapid access.
Overall, though, the Iiyama Red Eagle G-MASTER GB2560HSU gets quite a lot right. It's not exactly a budget option, but if you're after a good high-frequency 24.5in gaming screen for a relatively reasonable price, this screen should be on your list of contenders.
