Super impressed with this monitor. Seriously exceeds the limits of a standard IPS monitor. You get a good compromise between color and refresh-rate/response time. Given its an IPS monitor I dont think the effective refresh rate is quite 144Hz but its pretty damn close which again is amazing given the limits of IPS technology. Great color which is what I wanted since I occasionally watch movies on this thing as well as game. I dont think you can get a better monitor for the price.

I have had this monitor for a couple of days now and I must say it works fantastically. The picture is beautiful, gameplay is seamless, and overall I am very impressed with this monitor. I am glad that I read the reviews about the included DisplayPort cable as the one that is provided is not very high-quality. I went ahead and spent $6 on a decent cable on Amazon and I havent had any problems whatsoever, not a single stuck pixel, not a single dead pixel, guess I got lucky. The included stand requires some assembly but, unlike other people who have reviewed this products, I feel that the stand is more than adequate is actually quite sturdy. The monitor has a very nice build quality and overall I am very impressed, at first I was a little timid about buying a monitor from a company that I knew nothing about. After a little research I discovered that this particular screen is actually made by Samsung and then pixio puts these monitors together, I am rather fond of Samsung screens and this one clearly is no slouch it is an a+ product. I will not dock stars from this product because of the experience I had in shipping, however it was terrible. now I do realize that this is peak holiday shopping season and I do realize that there are probably a billion packages to deliver all over the United States but it does not excuse the customer service that I received from UPS when dealing with this package. In all I ordered this on Monday and it took over a week before I got the monitor. The customer service was so terrible that I will personally never use UPS as a carrier ever again, I was hung up on by a customer service supervisor and then I was patronized by another one, it wasnt until I got Amazon customer service involved that anything actually got done as far as UPS was concerned. Amazon for the love of all your goodly good things, allow the shopper to pick the carrier!

I bought this along with a new Gaming PC, just so I could have a starter monitor that could utilize some of the GPU features like V-Sync and a higher refresh rate. The preset FPS1 setting is pretty solid, but I should probably fiddle with the settings more for when Im using it to work. Easy to setup, worked right out of the box no dead pixels. Cant beat this price for the specs offered IMO, and will use this until I decide on a beefier gaming panel.

Well 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

Pretty good quality overall, but the light bleed (atleast on my unit) is god awful. Its mostly only an issue with dark backgrounds but i can still notice the bleed on the bottom left corner pretty much 90% of the time regardless of what Im doing. Other than that it seems well made and has a good picture.

When 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).

This is a really good monitor for what it costs. Very fast and seems to have good color accuracy. Menu navigation and power button leave a decent amount to be desired along with the power cord being WAY shorter than it should be. Despite these issues it’s a great monitor and would highly recommend. If the monitor has trouble connecting to DisplayPort at all, I found that reconnecting power to the monitor helped sometimes.

8/10

Works decent, it is MPRT, so its not true 1ms response. Not as good as a TN or IPS panel. Dead pixels after 1 week, which they say is expected. Its honestly not acceptable. I had a BenQ for over a year with not a single dead pixel. Will purchase something else and use this as a second monitor. IF you are looking for a main monitor, go with something else. IPS or TN panel. BenQ recommended. You pay for what you get i guess.

2019-2020 Update Pixio sent me another monitor. I have been blown away with their customer service. I love this thing. I believe the first monitor was not even faulty. I believe it was my own error, but they still sent me another monitor. I highly recommend this monitor if your a hard core gamer. Very satisfied. Older Update-Monitor stopped working for me. Went through every trouble shooting issue I could. Multiple display port/hdmi cables and it is still defective. I have tried everything. I know it is the panel because I have connected it to another computer that has a working monitor and the Pixio stays on a black screen. The blue indicator light says that it is on, but Does not display an image. I have submitted an RMA form to Pixio and will soon update this review again once I have went through the RMA process. I’m a very hardcore gamer. I have used every panel type -TN/IPS/VA I saw this monitor and said “something has to be fishy!” 1st and foremost, if you use an NVIDIA card you will be happy. I know I know, it’s a FreeSync monitor, Nvidia allows non certified monitors to use Gsync. While this may not be “officially” supported it works perfect. Enable FreeSync and then go into Nvidia control panel and enable GSYNC. Smooth as butter with no flickering at all. I also own and use a 27” dell 1440p/144hz Gsync display. Literally could not tell the difference. It is as if the monitor came with Gsync. The monitor is huge and I love that it is not curved. It has no dead pixels and input lag is extremely low. I honestly don’t understand how they can sell this at 299.99 It is 32” and you can use my included pictures as reference. It dwarfs my 27”. Pros - Gsync works perfectly- beautiful VA panel- no dead pixels - comes with a vesa mount- low response time. Seriously stop reading this and buy this monitor! Omg Cons- literally nothing. If you are still reading this you should stop and click add to cart. You will not be disappointed! This is a steal at 299.99. They should sell this for 499.99 because it would still be a bargain! Did I mention this thing is super thin. Did I mention the colors of the VA panel are amazing! Seriously, Pixio has set the bar so high.
