AI-generated summary
For £157.70 ex-VAT, the iiyama ProLite XUB2497HSN-W2 is the kind of 23.8" office monitor that makes sense when you need a dependable second screen or a standard workhorse for spreadsheets, documentation and day-to-day admin. iiyama’s usually strong on day-to-day usability—clean enough image, sensible factory settings, and generally solid build quality for the money. If you’re equipping a small team and want something that won’t become a constant “why does this look different on every workstation?” headache, this fits the bill.
That said, I’d only buy it if your requirements are firmly “office-first,” not design/creative or high-end multitasking. Full HD at this size is fine for typical desk use, but you’ll feel limited if you’re expecting lots of space for complex layouts, CAD-like work, or you’re sensitive to sharpness compared with higher-resolution panels. Also, if you care a lot about ergonomic adjustments (height/tilt flexibility) or you’re sensitive to contrast/black levels, you may want to check what the stand and panel performance are like in person or at least confirm return terms—because that’s where budget monitors often show their compromises.
