> 3 dayOk 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.

> 3 dayThe 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.

> 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.

> 3 dayPros: - Great picture quality. Deep whites, rich blacks, vibrant colors. Good color accuracy after some minor tweaks. Great white and black uniformity. Contrast ratio is lower than most VA panels but still a huge step up from an IPS or TN panel. Gaming is where this monitor really shines! - Two display ports, two HDMI ports - Joystick OSD control was snappy and response. Lots of options in the OSD - Very low input lag, very response Cons: - Small text is blurry and has noticeable fringing. I tried solving this by maxing out the sharpness and using Cleartype and several solutions I found online. This seems to be an issue inherent with VA panels. I planned to use this as a work monitor, but this issue was too noticeable for me. Some will be less sensitive to this though - My unit came with some minor scuffs on the back of the panel Misc: - Stand is very study, but has only tilt adjustment - 32 inches is big for a monitor. Great if its your only monitor, but I had this as a second display and my neck was not happy from needing to move so much - Response time is a mixed bag. Most of the time motion is clear, especially in bright areas. Smearing becomes somewhat noticeable in dark areas. I didnt mind it because it was brief, but if response time is important, then a TN panel or a high end IPS panel will work better for you. Hardware Unboxed stated in their review for this monitor than in terms of response time, its closer to 120hz panel overall

> 3 dayPros: -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.

> 3 dayI’m a videographer by day and gamer by night. Color and picture quality are always important. This monitor was a perfect budget option for working on the go. Paired well with my MacBook Pro. Have yet to try it for gaming but look forward to it. Only downside was I bought this from Amazon Warehouse and the video/data capable usb-c to usb-c cable was missing from the box. As Mac users know this is essential for connecting the monitor to the MacBook Pro and not all cables are created equal when it comes to usb-c or Thunderbolt 3. So it took some time to hunt down a cable that work when it should have been included with the original product packaging.

> 3 dayOverall this is a quality monitor from a good company; packaging is secure and somewhat premium and the build quality is solid for such an affordable portable monitor. However if you are planning on using this as a larger screen for your Nintendo Switch as I did, make sure to use the official Nintendo AC adapter instead of the one supplied in the box since the power delivery system for the Switch has such a unique voltage. The supplied adapter surged my console after connecting over USB-C and I was unable to turn it on until doing a hard reset; which initially made me believe that the console had been bricked. But I would still recommend using official Nintendo power supplies for any external devices for use with the Switch.
