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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My 15yr old son loves this monitor for gaming. Says it has better graphics than his curved monitor that was three times the price, happy buyer!

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.

It’s really good for the Xbox series s I thought it was broken or the description lied because it was just sunning at 60hz, but I just had to change the setting to HDMI and thought solved the problem.And the speakers aren’t that bad the colors are also good and pretty accurate highly recommend for the price

I actually liked this monitor compared to my old monitor, which was a 75hz ASUS TN monitor, but it had way better color. The high fresh rate is fantastic and the thin bezel are also a plus, but Its not perfect. Like many people have said before the color is alittle bit off and the contrast takes a little bit to get perfect, maybe its just me idk. Overall if you want to upgrade to higher refresh rate monitor this pretty great for gaming, if you can get the off color and the contrast balanced you should be good
