> 24 hourThe good: -No dead pixels, or any other significant defects, on my sample. -Extremely low input/processing latency. -Solid OSD options, including a usefully granular black boost control. -Stand is sturdier than I was expecting. -Better contrast and blacks than virtually any TN or IPS panel without FALD. -Minimal black crush. -VRR (VESA Adaptive Sync/Freesync/G-Sync) works. -165Hz refresh rate without VRR, 48-144Hz with it. -Thin overall, minimal bezel, and no-nonsense styling. The bad: -Absurd dead pixel policy of 99.99% guaranteed working pixels...which means almost 400 of them can be defective before the display is eligible for warranty. -Contrast relatively poor for a VA panel; closer to 2000:1 static than advertised 3000:1. -Default settings no where near accurate; needs considerable adjustment for best results. -Response time borderline for 144Hz+. -Noticeable overshoot ghosting on highest overdrive setting. -Mild color uniformity issues. -Cheap screws for stand; stripped the heads on at least one of them first install. In the end, I would definitely recommend this display to anyone looking for a solid gaming and general use experience on a 32 1440p display without spending a fortune. Its one of only two non-curved display lines with these specs that Ive been able to find, and Ive had better experiences with this one.

> 24 hourAlthough this is my first gaming monitor its of really good quality. The build itself is sturdy and doesnt seem cheap. Has a great tilt and good image quality. The only issues I have is that the volume control is kinda bad. There isnt dedicated buttons, you have to go into the settings to change it. Once you change it the lowest it can go is still somewhat loud and any lower and the sound turns off. Although it really isnt an issue for me because most of the time I use headphones. The product is great with a bright screen and sharp looking image.

> 24 hourPros: Does what a 1080p screen should. No issues getting it to run at the advertised refresh rates, two HDMI and two DP inputs. Seems like decent color quality. No dead pixels, and I love the thin bezel. No extra frills, decent specs. Cons: Pictures on Amazon for it are slightly out of date since it doesnt show the correct inputs on the revision I received. Power supply is a barrel connector with a wall adapter at the end, and the total length is ~1 meter. Personally I am neither a fan of the wall adapter nor the short lenght, I prefer a standard cable with the necessary transformer either in the screen housing (if possible) or a box inline with the cable (ex. standard laptop power adapter) so it can more easily fit with power strips/surge protector. A 2m total length would give more reasonable flexibility. Also, the labeling on the inputs (and specs) advertise DisplayPort 1.4, but they include a DisplayPort 1.2 cable. It works for what I need it for, but why the disparity? No HDMI cable included, but those are quite readily available...but it can be annoying when one is not in the box.

> 24 hourI went from a 60hz 32-inch 720p LED TV via HDMI to this for my gaming PC and it is the best upgrade I have made yet. Going from 60hz to 165hz is such a big difference. 165hz is super smooth when using AMD Freesync via Displayport cable. Also 1440p is the best graphics Ive seen yet. With this monitor I am able to use my graphics card (Powercolor RX590 Red Devil) to its full potential. 165hz at 32 inches and 1440p via displayport were the biggest selling points for me and so far I love it. The only Con that I can think of is that the Displayport cable that it comes with is kind of short. Other than that the stand that it comes with can also use improvement. It can only tilt. It is nit height adjustable. There is an aftermarket one for sale for it.

> 24 hourWell I didn’t do very much research before buying this and now I regret that. The response time on this monitor is horrible. During normal usage(eg. scrolling on chrome) the ghosting is pretty apparent. When playing games, especially fps that have dark areas(like CoD), the ghosting is horrible. Even with the overdrive setting to the max it was still pretty bad, although the setting change did help a little. Overall I’d say if you are a competitive gamer or just want something quality that looks nice, this is not the monitor for you, even for a good price this isn’t worth it. For people who aren’t using this for gaming or fast paced things it might work, because the picture quality and brightness were decent, along with no dead pixels. In the end you’d probably be much better off with an asus for the same price. I ended up returning mine because the ghosting makes it not much better than a 60 or 100hz monitor

> 24 hourI bought this to provide a small secondary screen to support the more expensive main screen so I can watch content while gaming. It does the trick! The speakers are pretty bad, Id say theyre the worst part about this. but its very lightweight, with a low bezel, and about as inexpensive as monitors can come.

> 24 hourI purchased three of these 32-inch monitors on Black Friday 2020. Best Monitors I have ever purchased (So Far). The quality is flawless, sharp and colorful. I upgraded from (2) 22-inch 1080p monitors that were almost a decade old. I plugged these in and turned on my computer, I nearly fainted. I had a smile from ear to ear for days. The pictures on Amazon does not do these monitors justice. These monitors are HUGE. quality is great and the colors are awesome. And its sharp, like really sharp. I found out about these monitors from watching eSports & gamers using them. These are VERY worth the money. Currently using them in 1440p mode, but it does go 1-step higher. But since my GTX 1070-Ti is not that great in handling anything more than 1440p I didnt go higher in resolution. I am waiting for prices to go way down to normal prices on the GTX 3090 graphics cards, to try higher settings. Anyways, I dont want to babble, ill just say that since Black Friday 2020, ive been extremely happy with these. And I hope nothing happens to these monitors that I seriously love. Hope there is great support IF it does. Thank you Pixio :)

> 24 hourWhen my friend recommended Pixio to me I was a bit hesitant because of their price tag. However, I bit the bullet and bought the monitor when it was on sale. The picture is crisp and the settings allow for a rather dynamic set of changes. You can also save different profiles into the monitor itself so you can easily have a few different picture modes along side the ones that come standard. The on-screen FPS display is a bit too big for my liking, but its still cool they include the feature. The crosshair is super useful, since it can not only be re-positioned, but theres a few variations on the style too. No more putting a piece of tape on the screen and drawing a dot here, and no need to buy some silly laser-dot string to put on your monitor either. Theres also a timer built into the screen but I havent actually made use of that just yet. All in all, its a great monitor and well worth the money, sale or not. But do pay attention to which model youre buying. The 248 and 248S are almost identical, but the 248S is a bit smaller in height (like 2-4cm or so) and has a higher refresh rate (144hz vs this one at 120).

> 24 hourHave to say I was skeptical. This is not a Korean monitor if anyone is wondering. It’s a company in Cali but still small nonetheless. When I got the packaging open I was pleased to see the amount of foam protecting my monitor. The monitor stand while not adjustable is completely solid and made of metal I did not expect this and was absolutely impressed because I didn’t even get a metal stand for my 700 dollar ultrawide that’s in my bedroom. Got everything put together with the bolts provided which are very easy to work with. Now came the moment of truth turning the monitor on was kind of a moment I was fearing because you never know what kind of problems can happen with the panel. Turned my computer on and the monitor fired right up. I let out a sigh of relief because Everything was perfect. No dead pixels. No uneven backlighting. No strobing. No problems! I am absolutely shocked and pleased with this purchase. I can’t belive this kind of quality that beat out lg and Samsung (both are high dollar past purchases for me) came from a small company in Cali. Good job pixio team. You built a great product and you just earned a repeat buyer.
