Greater than one weekOk 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 dayThis may sound trivial but monitor doesnt have an on and off button,for my application that is very inconvenient because i use it in a two monitor system. in order to get best use out of it i have to unplug the power cord to allow my video card to sync my other monitor. I am also not crazy about the one button on screen tuning would have liked to have had a remote with on off and on screen tuning,the button on the back of the monitor is very inconvenient for my setup as i have to resync this monitor often. Just my 2 cents worth but if your getting it for a 2 monitor system i wouldnt recommend it. picture quality is good and refresh is good just the above mentioned inconvenience for me.

Greater than one weekOk 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 weekI had an acer 144hz 1080p monitor before I purchased this and the picture quality on that was great. The colors on this seems to lack for some reason. Also the clarity/sharpness is a bit dull as well. Im not sure if I got a faulty monitor but I might be returning it. I feel as if I downgraded from the acer. I really want to like this monitor since it looks clean AF with the thin bezels etc but after watching numerous videos and couple days of usage I can tell the colors and sharpness is lacking. Price is great so theres no complaints there, but I just expected picture colors and picture quality. Id give it a 4/5.

> 3 daySo 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.

> 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 dayI’ve read all the reviews and was hesitant but I just went for it and got this monitor cuz I needed one. It works fine! Make sure to plug the hdmi or whatever cable you have into the right spot. The settings are easy to control and if you run into any issues, solutions are pretty easy to come across online. It’s a perfect size in my opinion and the quality is nice.

> 3 dayBad backlight bleed out of the box, not a unique issue for this one. I’m ~okay~ with it because it is my secondary vertical monitor so not gonna deal with the return process for a monitor. OTHER THAN THAT, it’s good and I like the build quality as well as the interface. It’s good and a cost effective monitor!
