Image quality out of the box is great, I only applied slightly different calibrations based on what looks good to me. I cannot detect any dead pixels. The stand doesnt offer height adjustment, but it does the job in my opinion. This monitor comes with the standard VESA mount if you want to use a monitor arm. The bezels are nice and slim, and the monitor doesnt have that tacky gamer look. Gaming performance is great, Freesync works well on my Radeon 5500 XT and gaming is smooth and very enjoyable. This is my first 144hz monitor and im glad I gave Pixio a chance, they seem to make fantastic monitors. Buy this monitor if your interested in getting into high refresh gaming at a good price.

It worked fine for me for about a year with pretty good results and then one day it just stopped. I had it on a shelf for a while and recently pulled it out to test again before deciding if I really did need to dispose of it. That is when it promptly started to melt (see my image). It was VERY hot. Not sure if Im an outlier or not but it felt like a good time to share my experience. Its one thing for it to break. Quite another to start to catch on fire.

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.

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.

Pros: -Cheap -Has crosshair overlay -Bright (more than 350nit) Cons: -Extreme Ghosting (from Red) at 165hz no matter the Overdrive Setting -HDR is EXTREMELY bright, colors look unusual This is a 144hz VA panel, thats OCd to 165hz, and has lots of ghosting from Red. I would HIGHLY recommend using CRU (Custom Resolution Utility) to make a 155hz profile, turn off Overdrive, and use it this way! Almost no ghosting, and looks more buttery smooth w/o the visual anamalies.

So I built my first pc and knew I needed a monitor. I was suggested to buy this. It was a great price and had some great reviews. I can agree with almost every great review. The product is amazing, but there are some things to be said. My monitor arrived 4 days late. Instead of a remote or button, there is a joystick in the back. Instead of a paper Manuel to try to learn how to use that joystick, you have to go online. I really don’t like the joystick because it wasn’t working eight away for me. I just wanted to change the input lol, but I couldn’t. So all in all, great monitor, looks great, but has a weird joystick. I will leave an update if anything changes.

Im going to make this short and sweet. This monitor is exactly what you are looking for when gaming on a budget. (minus the stand, its not bad but if you want to be able to adjust height and rotation get a third party VESA mount for your desk or wall) Response time: Immaculate - dont let these overly in depth reviews on YouTube discourage you. You will definitely experience the 165 Hz refresh rate whether performing simple tasks or while gaming. Size: Perfect. 1080p is best experienced at 24-25 inches. Anything higher would make the image less defined and stretched. Speakers are terrible but you definitely shouldnt game with display speakers. The speakers are just super low. but this is a sacrifice for image quality and response times. It is an IPS panel so the colors are accurate. The overall picture quality is incredible and colors are so vibrant. Overall it is the best budget gaming monitor i could find and definitely worth your money.

Let me start by saying there is nothing really wrong with the product. Just be aware that if you HAVE to have a 32 1440P monitor and you have to stay within budget, then this monitor will do. Now, I spent a couple of days researching and talking with support to see how to fix the issues I had: 1- Picture was washed out 2- There were auras around bright objects in gameplay, like some flowers in Minecraft 3- The introduction to Assasins Creed which is already heavy photo-negative was an almost full negative effect 4- RedRedemption 2 - the hair (especially beards) were even funkier than they normally are 4 OSD was very quirky After a couple of back and forth between Pixio and EVGA, one saying it was the GPU (GTX 3060 Ti) and the other one blaming the monitor, I took the card out and tested it on my old PC with a 1080P monitor. The picture was clear and the colors vibrant. I put the GPU back in my new build and connected the older 32 LG 1080P monitor with the same results. With this, I KNEW it wasnt the GPU. Sadly there was nothing else the guys at Pixio could do so I decided to return the monitor. I went with a smaller 27 LG (LG-27GL850-B) that I got at Best Buy for around $499. The picture is beautiful, with no auras or ghosting and PnP for G-Sync. Basically what I was expecting when I went from 1080P to 1440P. Of course, the 1ms response helps :)

I use this mostly for programming in a well lit room. The small size makes 1080 text look as crisp as any 4K monitor. Compared to my MacBook Pro, I can see some backlight bleeding, but, its not unbearable. As to color reproduction - Id say it rivals my Samsung 27 4K Monitor My biggest complaint is the button to get to the menu. The button has 4 positions: up, neutral, down, in. Pressing up and down is super easy. Pressing in, it seems hit or miss. If theres even the slightest up or down movement, the IN movement seems to get over-ridden and the menu item up or down gets highlighted (but not selected) After some practice, its easier to navigate. The second complaint is the power cord is REALLY short - maybe 4 or 5 feet. and finding a USB-A to USB-C cable is pretty hard. Luckily, my power strip is right below my desk, so, I dont have any issues, but, just something to consider. THE GOOD They provide a Micro-HDMI cable that is truly awesome. I mean, its really good quality, and not stiff. Again, the color is REALLY good for a monitor this cheap. Its as good as a $300 Samsung, but I have a $500 LG that looks way better. But again, its about 4xs the cost. The case turns into a stand and its really good. Its the perfect angle for working, it doesnt take up a lot of desk space, and the case it soft. I trust this case to protect my screen. OVERALL Im happy with my purchase and my buy another one. The bad, are not bad enough to NOT buy if you need a small monitor for programming and need more desk space. It also works perfect if you want to hook an AppleTV up to it to watch something while traveling. The included cables are good quality, the case protects the monitor amply, and the monitor is small enough to fit into a laptop backpack with a 13 MacBook pro, and both chargers and not be too big or bulky

Looks great and a great monitor. Only issue I have with it, is that it has no power button you have to unplug it from the monitor. UPDATE: 5/20/23 The monitor screen keeps shutting off, I dont know if its the display port or the monitor yet.
