I 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.

Ok let me start out by saying before purchasing this item I contacted pixio directly through email for a few questions. I wasn’t expecting them to respond at all. But they did within minutes surprisingly. Only company to ever reply to me regarding a pre sale question. Great customer service I can say that already. USA based company. Amazing monitor! Super sharp, super detailed and very fast. It was packaged better than any monitor I have ever bought even ones twice this ones price. Had extremely nice soft foam. Not the cheap hard crap. I followed a OSD calibration guide I found on YouTube and dang it’s super color accurate. No back light bleed I can see, no dead pixels, free sync is great, and I honestly don’t know any monitor better for this price. This monitor destroys anything I’ve ever had previously and at 32”! Anyway I highly recommend this. Does need a little tweaking out of the box as far as the color profile. Hardware unboxed has a great guide on YouTube for making it super accurate. Suggest you watch it to get the settings for you to set. But. I absolutely love this monitor and will be buying a second one down the road.

Pros: 144hz Monitor 1080p Display Works Great with whatever you put on it, works great with PS4/5, Xbox One/Series X/S, PC, Nintendo Switch. Looks great with my setup. Cons: Brightness settings don’t help very much, brightness isn’t horrible but could be better Sometimes Ports don’t work, have to unplug and plug display cables back in After 3 weeks of use one of my pixels turned red, it’s small and barely noticeable but definitely concerning.

Pros: 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 Cons: Pictures on Amazon for it are slightly out of date since it doesnt show the correct inputs on the revision I received.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.

I’ve had this for a week now and so far so good! Right out of the box the image quality isn’t absolutely perfect, but a quick YouTube search for good settings had everything looking amazing very quickly! This monitor is huge, it’s been great for my work flow and for gaming as well(The Witcher 3 at ultra settings is gorgeous). I will say if you have any weird image things in your games- turn off overdrive in the settings! Took me a while to figure that one out. Also, you’ll need to go into your settings and enable free sync if you have a Gpu that supports it. The base is metal and structurally sound the overall quality for the price is a 10/10 from me and I highly recommended this monitor. I’ll also note I’m using the display port if that matters! Great job Pixio, I was definitely worried I was spending too little and expecting too much- but this monitor is amazing.

I just got this PX243 monitor a few days ago (October 2022). There are no dead pixels, and no defects except for some tiny physical aberration right in the middle of the monitor. At first I thought it was a dark pixel, but I can feel some tiny physical issue there. Fortunately, this issue is probably 1-2 pixels in size and only shows up (light grey) on white. As I write this review I can see it right above where Im typing. I did not ding it after receiving it. This is why Ive rated this 4/5. All the HDMI/DP ports function for my needs (60Hz to 3 computers), but I have tested 165Hz to my gaming PC. It works fine. I will consider keeping that in place. One thing I have no idea if its an issue or not, is related to scrolling text in a dark mode Windows 10 Settings panel. When I scroll, all of the text effectively becomes invisible until I stop scrolling. Default font, etc. I do have brightness on the monitor turned all the way down. But on my older Dell 2410 (with brightness down), when I scroll the text remains fully visible. I have no idea if this can be tuned. I think this is due to the fact its a VA panel. It seems like the black color of the Windows Dark Mode Theme is partially to blame. Ubuntu uses more greys for its dark mode, and the issue is not as apparent there. Audio output is fine. I have no issues with it, but Im not an audiophile. I dont notice any pops or noise. I mounted this to a VESA stand. Notably, the standard VESA screws provided (M4-12) are too long for my VESA mount. I had to buy M4-10 machine screws to fit to the VESA mounting plate. Otherwise the monitor was loose. Yes, it is a VESA mount. No, I did not do anything wrong when connecting it. I will update this review over time.

Although 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.

The the rocker button (which switches modes and makes adjustments) did nothing beyond powering the monitor on and off. I returned it for replacement only to have Pixio inform me that there was nothing wrong with it. This can only mean one of three things: a.) The product was not defective and the monitor is designed in a way that you cant access the menu and switch modes unless it is already both connected to a device and transmitting the said device on the display. In which case, youre damned if you dont have an HDMI device/cable on standby since HDMI is the default selected mode. [My 32 Omen gaming monitor does not require this.] b.) The product was defective and they repaired it. And since they cant get the same amount of money for a refurbished product on the market, nor was I willing to accept a repair for a DOA product that I paid full price for, they rather just lie to me and say there was nothing wrong with it so they can avoid giving me a new monitor as a replacement. c.) The product was defective and it simply got mixed up with another one and the one they inspected wasnt actually mine. Whichever scenario this case may be, this product should be avoided. I give it 4 stars instead of 1 since they gave me a full refund. Feel free to buy this product but be sure to not dispose of the box and packaging material. Youre probably gonna need it.

The 144hz 1440p monitor is flipping fantastic. I upgraded from a also pretty dope MSI Mag series 144hz curved monitor and this thing knocks it out of the water in terms of color reproduction and overall image quality. Sure the jump from 60hz to 144hz is huge, but the jump from 1080p to 1440p is also a pretty big trip. Text is really sharp on this thing and the sheer amount of screen real estate makes almost necessary to have multiple things going on at once. The 165hz is made possible by turning off freesync and fiddling with the monitor settings in windows and the tradeoff is ok but either is great really. Its not quite perfect as when I put up my pixel to the monitor the colors are considerably less vibrant and while streaming quality varies from device to device, while watching Game of Thrones infamous S8E2 there was more choppy black to dark grey transitions on this monitor than my phone. Might be a combination of OLED vs VA and phone vs PC but just thought Id let it out there. Brightness is also not quite to the level of being able to have a window left wide open on a sunny day, but it hasnt left me asking for more often.

Have 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.
