Starting with the design, the GCB3486WQSCP carries on the hallmark of iiyama monitors – they're understated, almost entirely matte black, and don't do anything flashy. I have absolutely nothing against that and think it looks fine – yes, the build is on the plasticky side, but we can't forget that this is just £350.
iiyama is also using a V-shaped foot, which isn't usually my preference but makes sense considering this is a 34in ultrawide panel. It measures approximately 54cm across.
The included stand offers some ergonomic adjustment, with up to 130mm height adjustment, and then tilt from -3.5 to +18.5 degrees. Interestingly, despite not being listed in the official spec sheet, I found out by pure accident that pivot functionality is also present, while third-party VESA 100×100 mounts are supported too.
There's loads of connectivity options too, with 2x HDMI 2.1, 1x DisplayPort 1.4 and a USB-C port that offers 95W power delivery, plus DP-Alt mode. There's also a Type-B upstream port that feeds two Type-A and one USB-C downstream ports, while you also get the sense iiyama is targeting more than just gamers with the inclusion of an Ethernet port, alongside built-in KVM functionality.
Regular readers will know I was very glad to see a joystick which is used to navigate the OSD, as opposed to those small, fiddly buttons.
