INTRODUCTION

   Even though people such as myself put far more weight on screen size and picture quality there are always many out there who seem to place refresh rate before everything else. So even though I’m fine with gaming even on a 60Hz LCD monitor as long as it's large enough others would rather enjoy their favourite games on a far smaller yet higher refresh rate model. Ideally very large LCD monitors would offer the same refresh rates (and picture quality) but currently just a handful do (and they do cost quite a bit) so gaming on a smaller model seems to be the way to go. Well with the SIGURD 2503 23.8 Inch FHD Curved Gaming Monitor Yeyian aims to win over casual gamers and after spending 2 months with it my review is finally here.

   Yeyian Gaming was founded in 2017 in San Diego, California. Its philosophy is to develop innovative technology products with high reliability and high performance. The goal is to provide its customers with unrivalled user experiences and exceptional customer service and remain at the forefront of the gaming community.

   The SIGURD 2503 is a curved 23.8" widescreen (1650R curvature, 16:9 aspect ratio, 60.4cm diagonal) LCD monitor which uses an 8bit VA LED backlit panel (anti-reflective finish) featuring a maximum resolution of 1920x1080p (FullHD), 200Hz refresh rate, 1ms (MPRT) response time, 3000:1 contrast ratio, 300cd/m2 brightness and 178 degrees viewing angles. Yeyian has also placed support for adaptive sync (AMD FreeSync & NVIDIA GSync compatible) and HDR10, low blue light filter and built-in stereo speakers (2x3W). A tilt capable (5/-15 degrees) stand bundled with the SIGURD 2503 and as for available connections we find a single DP port (v1.2), HDMI v2.0 port and a 3.5mm audio output (can be used with speakers and headsets). So, time to see what this small gaming monitor by Yeyian has to offer to gamers on a budget.
