27-inch IPS /QHD75HzUSB-C PD up to96WKVM /RJ45 /DP out150mm height /pivot
The black iiyama ProLite XB2797QSNP-B1 combines a27-inch QHD IPS screen with a USB-C dock, KVM switch and wired-network port. A compatible notebook can send video and data while receiving up to96W USB Power Delivery through the upstream USB-C connection. The adjustable stand supports150mm height travel, swivel, tilt and portrait positioning.
Best For: Office users working with a compatible USB-C notebook, or two computers sharing keyboard and mouse, who want a27-inch QHD workspace.
Before you order: This exact XB model is2560×1440 at up to75Hz. For USB-C video, the host must support DisplayPort Alt Mode, and charging needs compatible USB PD and cabling.96W is a maximum;higher-power laptops may still need their own adapter. The manual states that QHD75Hz is not supported when USB3.0 speed is selected on USB-C. KVM requires the appropriate USB upstream links;DP-out MST depends on the host, GPU and operating system.
What's in the Box
- Black XB2797QSNP-B1 with stand neck/base, VESA plate and stand screwdriver.
- Power, HDMI and USB-A-to-B cables1.5m;USB-C-to-C cable1.0m.
- Quick start and safety guides. DisplayPort cable, second monitor, LAN cable, laptop and peripherals are not listed as supplied.
What It Means in Practice
- Connect a compatible notebook to upstream USB-C for video, data and PD charging, using a full-featured cable.
- Connect the second computer’s video and USB upstream path, then map the video source to USB-B or USB-C in the KVM menu.
- Choose the USB-C bandwidth mode around refresh and peripheral needs;USB3.0 mode prevents QHD75Hz per manual.
- Connect a network cable to RJ45 for the host dock path and verify any required OS drivers.
- Enable MST DP-out only with a compatible host and second display. Check extended-desktop support on the intended OS.
What Will Not Work
- 75Hz is the maximum specified, not the100Hz of the similarly named XUB model.
- 1ms is MPRT, not a guarantee of1ms GTG or total system delay.
- A charging-only USB-C host port cannot provide the required video signal.96W is not guaranteed charging for every notebook.
- MST daisy-chain and KVM are different functions, and their connection requirements must be met separately.

Singular Expert Insight
Plan the laptop connection before buying:video-capable USB-C, PD demand, USB bandwidth and MST support are separate checks. This monitor can reduce dock clutter and share peripherals, but the manual’s USB-C refresh tradeoff matters when you combine QHD75Hz with fast USB devices.
