Comparing this two, that i need to choose one, that are at the same price, look to have same specs, what to expect that would change to the eye on image displayed !?

IDC the USB-hub having more one the first btw IDC even more it has HDR-eady (lol).

It's just to serve as a support monitor on my gaming PC that has 27" OLED, that i switch to while not playing.

If they're the same price why would you not care about the extra ports and stuff? Honestly these two monitors are so similar they might as well be the same one, minus a few very small features. You can't go wrong with either, but I'd probably take the G-Master for practical reasons (they will visually look almost identical)

I certainly would not be spending that kind of money on a iiyama ProLite XU2293HS-B6 21.5'' Monitor or a iiyama G-MASTER Black Hawk G2245HSU-B2 21.5" Monitor if I was used to a high-quality 27" monitor.

I don't know what you mean by a "support" monitor, but even compared to my 24" monitors, a 21.5" monitor is tiny. You say you will be using this when "not playing". What does that mean in terms of hours per day? And for what tasks?

I've been using a multimonitor setup for nearly 30 years now. The first 5 years were always with mixed-matched monitors of different sizes. It made a world of difference when I finally bought new, identical monitors - I will never go back to different sizes.

There are a lot of decent 27" monitors you can get out there for $219 or less.

22" is the size i need, and also want. The monitor being OLED i always used external monitor while not playing games(exclusively playing on OLED), bc i had my other tiny PC aside the Gaming PC then could share it's monitor, now that iwill move the Gaming PC out of the same room i will need a tiny monitor.

I will never do desktop tasks on my OLED, never, the 22" size i know well and 24" i know would be too big already so no luck i'd choose a 27".

My perfect mnoitor would be 22" 1440p 120hz...

Okay - it seems you have thought this through so that is good. Not sure why you would never do desktop tasks on your OLED but that's your choice and I respect that. I just hope it is not because you believe it will result in burn-in/image retention issues because that just is not true. That is only a problem where the exact same image (or the same objects in the exact same place on the screen) are displayed for many hours everyday, day after day after day.

If those two iiyama monitors are your only options, then it seems to me the G-Master Black Hawk is the one to get. It has more USB connection options and is a tiny (and I mean very tiny) bit bigger (21.5 vs 21.45 inch) and it costs less than the Pro Lite. The contrast ratio is less but for general use is fine. The slightly brighter display could be desirable. Other than that, the specs are essentially identical.
