So I took a chance and ordered this pixio monitor based off a good reviews I had seen. When the monitor arrived, to say the least I was not disappointed. The picture quality is great (far better than a tn panel) and the price is unbeatable for the specs you get. However, I did have an issue with the stand being loose even with all the mounting bolts tightened down. So rather than return to amazon I reached out to pixio and explained the issue. I received a personalized (not an auto) email response in less than 24 hours. The representative immediately offered a replacement stand and asked that I register my product and fill out a simple rma form. After I submitted my forms I then received confirmation that my item would be shipped, but to my surprise I received the replacement stand the very next day. I have since installed the new stand which resolved all issues with the previous one. Dealing with pixio is hands down the best and easiest customer service experience I’ve had. I now have faith that if something is to go wrong in the future that pixio will stand by their warranty. If your reading this review and are hesitant to try a pixio, don’t be. Let my testimony help you make the right decision. There are other similar panels on the market from more well known companies, but most have tn panels/less features and are more expensive. The Pixio monitors truly represent a great value in the market. If I need a second monitor down the line pixio will be what I get.

I got this monitor because it is FLAT and supposedly works with G Sync. With the included DP cable, G Sync appears to work just fine with my RTX 2070. The Nvidia control panel says the monitor is not certified g sync compatible, but it still allows you to enable and it works well. Games are buttery smooth and input lag is basically non existent. Im quite satisfied with the colors right out of the box and found no need to adjust for the most part. Only thing I changed was enabling the Low Blue Light setting to Low (options are L, M, H). Freesync also isnt enabled by default on the monitor, so you need to enable that yourself quickly. Ive seen complaints on the brightness of the monitor, but mine is more than bright enough in my office that gets plenty of natural light from a large window right next to my desk. $300 well spent! Two big time gripes for this monitor after using it for a couple weeks. - First, once the monitor goes to sleep after it loses signal, there appears to be no way of waking it back up unless you hold the power button to turn it off, then turn it back on. This is a problem for me because I have this monitor connected to two computers (my personal gaming desktop and my work laptop). If I turn one computer off and the monitor goes to sleep, I cant wake it back up to switch the input to the other. - That brings me to my next issue. Theres no quick way of switching inputs. You need to dig through the OSD menu to get to the source switch. I go back and forth between inputs regularly, so I find this very annoying. So annoying that Im currently looking into some sort of displayport switch to avoid it altogether. Update: returned it just before the end of the return period. The two nuisances mentioned above ended up being deal breakers for me. Returned and got an LG 32GK650F-B for the exact same price (Micro Center). Much better OSD, fully articulating stand.

144hz, 1ms, simple and clean looking. I love it a lot. But I dont know if its a flaw or not so Ill just say it here. Occasionally I want to play my switch and call someone on discord. So I would switch hdmi and I would be able to call and play games. Though if you turn off the switch before switching back to pc, the display cable for the pc renders as no signal. I try switching out the cables and it works but if I do the same mistake, it renders the display cable as useless again which is really annoying.

Used for gaming on Xbox Series S. Used high speed HDMI 2.1. No matter what settings I used (overdrive, Freesync, both together), I could not get rid of the ghosting or screen tearing on any game. Especially noticeable in games where you are indoor where objects are closer vs an outdoor setting. The picture quality was weird too. It made games look shiny and the transitions from light to dark was not smooth at all. The dark would instantly get too dark Not sure if its because its a VA panel, but I would definitely not recommend using this model for gaming. I would go for the IPS panel model from Pixio.

8/10

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.

Used as a temporary monitor between omen 1080 to 1440 monitors and well worth the money. Monitor has great option features like crosshair built in, different color settings and presets and plenty of hdmi and dp ports to plug all your gaming consoles into one. Would be one of my go to monitors for 1080. Also always remember to go into the settings and manually set to monitors optimal htz level. It defaults to 60htz for every pc. Don’t hesitate to buy!

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

I bought this monitor about 5 months ago & it is running pretty good. I use it for my work and PC gaming, really good graphics & pixels!
