Greater than one weekIf all you want is a big display with high refresh rate and freesync, this is a good option. My only complaints is a lack of brightness (doesnt get too bright) and only getting 8-bit display color vs 10 for my old monitor. Very happy with $300 for this compared to $500+ for a high quality option at the same size. Also, the VESA mount isnt centered, which makes mounting it along with other displays harder. However, I am happy that it at least has the option for the mount.

> 3 dayOk so the first thing I want to get out of the way is, the monitor has to be tweaked a bit when first using it out of the box. You can use it right away out of the box no problem but you probably want to fidget a bit with the settings because text looks a little blurry and if you have a Freesync compatible GPU then obviously you want to enable that. Also you have to manually set the refresh rate to 144Hz in the display settings but I think you have to do this with all monitors. Anyways for the most part, this monitor definitely has a good price to performance. Being a highschooler that has no job and in this crazy year of 2020, I was still able to afford it.

Greater than one weekOutside of lackluster brightness and contrast for a bright environment, this monitor is a dream on paper. 165Hz (144Hz adaptive sync) 2560x1440 with the black levels and lesser backlight bleed of a *VA LCD while maintaining the input delay of a faster IPS or slower TN panel. The higher overdrive settings are useless for how overaggressive the effect is, but outside of that this monitor seems like it could work for anyone. Unfortunately, its not all good. The first screen arrived intact. The packaging was just the monitor box and a cardboard sleeve that fit around it. Setting it up, there were no noticeable defects and the screen looked uniform on lighting. Turned the screen off and mounted it, only to turn it back on and... No signal. Maybe a cable? Swapped the power supply and DisplayPort cables around and same deal. Power supply LED goes from a solid green to period flashing when plugged into the monitor, indicating its shutting itself down automatically. Let the monitor sit unplugged for a day and tried it again. Turned on for a few seconds before going black, power supply again blinking to indicate a possible short. Probably a bad capacitor. The screen has to be replaced. Second monitor arrived with an extra box protecting the cardboard sleeve. It also had a flat piece of styrofoam fitted between the front of the display and the inner box, which was oddly absent from the first monitor. Set up and plugged in, it worked, although this one had a dark smudge over 7-9 pixels in the lower half of the screen. It looks like dirt caught between the panel and cover, but its barely noticeable on anything but a solid bright background and just looks like the screen needs cleaning. I can live with that. At least theres no dead pixels. Until today, over a week after I first plugged it in. Suddenly theres two dead pixels stacked vertically just right of the center of the screen and it shows up in everything I do. Now Im wondering if that supposed dirt caught under the cover isnt actually the sign of some horrible defect and whether or not I can expect more pixels to go bad just weeks into use. I get that pixels can die over time, but this short of a window is ridiculous. So now I get to return another screen and hope Amazon doesnt take it upon itself to ban me for not throwing away hundreds of dollars on defective or broken products. This screen would be a great one if it arrived with only minor blemishes, but Im two of two in with one screen DOA and the other showing signs of serious deterioration only days into use. It might be beyond a smaller company like Pixio, but monitor manufacturers should start implementing pixel perfect options. I would have payed extra to avoid these headaches from the outset. Update: Changed review from two to three stars due to the third model working so far without error or obvious fault. Even though the screens arent the epitome of hardware with their sub-144Hz pixel refresh speeds that lead to some blurriness with moving text, overaggressive overdrive ghosting effects, and inherent LCD faults like backlight bleed and black levels that are far from perfect, they are a solid 4-4.5/5 if you dont end up with a string of bad eggs like I did. For now Im leaving it at 3/5 due to the implications tied to the majority of monitors sent my way being defective. Hopefully my experience was a fluke and the vast majority of buyers avoid sharing my frustration.

> 3 dayif your not looking to break your bank account this monitor is a pretty good value for a 144hz panel. i tend to lean towards ips because of the picture quality. i really did not see any ghosting in this monitor so that is a plus. it does have freesync and that is another plus. the built in speakers i would not recommend using long term, i would either get a nice pair of headphones or speakers to really get a better experience.

> 3 daySuper 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.

08-06-2025I 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.

> 3 dayIve been wanting a portable monitor to go with my laptop for a while. I like to think I did my research, and picked this one because of the reviews as well as the price. Its a good little monitor and Im quite happy with it. Its not high quality picture but Im not going to be doing graphics on it or anything. Iike to use it for chat and videos for while Im playing games. Its nice to have something on the go. Im happy with this little screen.
