Update Nov 5, 2020: The monitor is still going strong. It is on a gas mount stand now. No issues or dead pixels. First review: I am really happy that there is a high Hz 32 inch flat screen option. The Pixio included display port cable is locking. With the freesync disabled and in DP 1, the included cable will do 165hz at 1440 on gtx 970. I like how pleasant the screen light was on the eyes compared to the monitor I have been using. The colors are very decent for an 8 bit monitor. The stand is sturdy and the feet have rubber grips. The headphone audio out works. No, this monitor does not have speakers. I love that this monitor is flat and is cheaper than a gsync. My PX329 32 inch monitor arrived damage from amazon packaging wrong end up. I tested what I could before sadly packing it up for a return. It happens. Pixo was great to respond to my email and get a hold of Amazon to make this process faster. Wonderful customer support that goes above and beyond.

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

Ive 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.

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.

I just got this PX243 monitor a few days ago (October 2022). There are no dead pixels, and no defects except for some tiny physical aberration right in the middle of the monitor. At first I thought it was a dark pixel, but I can feel some tiny physical issue there. Fortunately, this issue is probably 1-2 pixels in size and only shows up (light grey) on white. As I write this review I can see it right above where Im typing. I did not ding it after receiving it. This is why Ive rated this 4/5. All the HDMI/DP ports function for my needs (60Hz to 3 computers), but I have tested 165Hz to my gaming PC. It works fine. I will consider keeping that in place. One thing I have no idea if its an issue or not, is related to scrolling text in a dark mode Windows 10 Settings panel. When I scroll, all of the text effectively becomes invisible until I stop scrolling. Default font, etc. I do have brightness on the monitor turned all the way down. But on my older Dell 2410 (with brightness down), when I scroll the text remains fully visible. I have no idea if this can be tuned. I think this is due to the fact its a VA panel. It seems like the black color of the Windows Dark Mode Theme is partially to blame. Ubuntu uses more greys for its dark mode, and the issue is not as apparent there. Audio output is fine. I have no issues with it, but Im not an audiophile. I dont notice any pops or noise. I mounted this to a VESA stand. Notably, the standard VESA screws provided (M4-12) are too long for my VESA mount. I had to buy M4-10 machine screws to fit to the VESA mounting plate. Otherwise the monitor was loose. Yes, it is a VESA mount. No, I did not do anything wrong when connecting it. I will update this review over time.

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.

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.

Liked the monitor, bought it last May, so less than a year. Could it have been bumped? Possibly. But if so, it was indetectable to me. Happened while gaming. Cant see any area on the screen thats broke when its turned off.

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.

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.
