The brightness issues other have mentioned dont seem to be an issue with my unit. Also they included a display port 1.2 6ft cable in the box. The included cable is suitable for 1440p 165hz. Was able to enable g-sync at the 165hz as well with the included cable. I used the monitor color profile provided by Hardware Unboxed $5 Patreon rewards and the colors look great with that profile applied through windows. All in all, probably the best 2k 165hz FLAT panel monitor you can get for the price. Was thinking about getting the G5 odyssey but held off as I really wanted a flat panel opposed to a curved one. Build quality is great, and Wendel from Level1 Tech on YT had high praises of this monitor as well. And they do a lot of cheap Korean monitor reviews. Dont be put off by the brand name, the monitor and panel does what it claims to do a the best price on the market. Also has an OSD crosshair you can enable for games that dont offer one or in case the game you are playing has a crosshair you dont like, you can disable the in game crosshair and use the OSD one instead.

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

So Id say Ive used the set of these monitors long enough to have an accurate review of them. Overall theyve worked pretty well for me since I bought them on September 26, 2021. Pretty good picture quality for 1080p pretty good for competitive FPS games etc with its 144hz & 1ms response time. But more recently Ive run into the issue of it going completely black on me.. now I know that my new 6700xt isnt at fault with its drivers fully up to date so I proceeded to replace the display cables and make sure they had enough slack to not cause such blackouts while I was mid-game/movie/work-related environment; unfortunately, after taking all the above steps drivers, cabling, etc I still had the issue. Now it may not have been often but it was several times a week. Also when I have the monitor clocked at 144hz in certain games it causes any motion within the application to result in a black screen whereas repeated restarts would eventually fix it or lower my refresh rate down to a measly 60hz... which kind of defeats the purpose of my buying these gaming monitors. I started checking out the monitors internal menu and noticed that the firmware was still on V1.0. I scoured the internet and pixios site and couldnt find a lick of information on the issue or the lack of updates. I proceeded to email their customer service to ask if I was just missing where the firmware was listed or if it was EOL. They got back to me and said they dont allow customers access to firmware or potential updates past what theyre initially shipped with. Im going to use these monitors til they die but past that I cant recommend another pixio product if they dont allow paying customers access to any kind of self-service support. Im not shipping two monitors to who knows where for firmware updates especially on my dime. Its not realistic and not a good way to build more than one-off customers. In conclusion, theyre good enoough, but Id have gone with another brand if I could do things over.

The colors aren’t the same for the same exact monitor but different Hz. I was going to make this my main monitor but the colors are off from the other which the colors on that one is really really vivid but this one is dull. You’ll have to find someone to match the quality’s professionally.

Ok 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.

Not only was this item a fair price for what you get, it was easy to put together and start using. Great quality! Teenage gamer approved LOL

The monitor was everything as described.

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.

Great picture quality, very smooth, good for gaming, etc. Monitor has crosshairs, 1 display port, 2 HDMI ports, and a USB slot. Works wonders, and for the price is perfect.

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.
