We've reviewed a lot of high-end monitors recently, including 4K screens costing in excess of £1000. By their very nature, such displays won't be for everyone, but the iiyama GB2770QSU is sure to have wider appeal. Offering a 27in 1440p panel – considered by many to be the ‘sweet spot' for gaming – this 165Hz IPS gaming monitor is priced at just £250. That's a seriously enticing price tag, but surely there's a catch?

1440p displays have been steadily increasing in popularity over the years, offering a sharper image than a 1080p screen without being nearly so demanding to run as 4K. It's also promising that iiyama can offer the GB2770QSU at such an appealing price point – this sort of spec isn't new, but it wasn't so long ago such displays were priced north of £500.

Still, we have to think at least some compromise has been made to hit the £250 asking price, so let's find out if the GB2770QSU is worth buying.
