Pixio PX277 Prime 27 inch IPS 165Hz Refresh Rate WQHD 2560 x 1440 Resolution 1ms MPRT Response Time HDR Adaptive Sync Esports Premiere LCD Gaming Monitor

I purchased this for typical work tasks and wanted the built-in hub to support NIC, keyboard/mouse and daisy chain monitors. Unfortunately I found out from Pixio support that tge NIC only supports 100Mbps speed. This will not work for my needs so I will be returning it.

It says it has built-in audio system but it didnt work. The monitor came with no sound, windows picked up its speaker but it doesnt have any sound. Tried all software methods and played with all settings, but no success. Thankfully I have speakers so it doesnt bother me too much, but if you want this monitor to be your main speaker, then you need to watch out, maybe you will get one just like mine that has a broken audio system right out of box

I love this monitor. Did a fair amount of research into finding something I was going to be happy with at this price point, and I found it here. All the features work as advertised, though I have to run with overdrive mode off to prevent any overshoot because Im running on a RX 590, which was not really built for 1440p gaming. I see no ghosting whatsoever, and making a couple of slight tweaks to the color settings puts it in a good place. The stand, while not height adjustable is incredibly solid, though I use a VESA mount so I tend not to really care about the quality of the stand. Big con here, and the reason Im not giving it 5 stars is the quality control. The first one I ordered had a dead pixel. I put in for a replacement, and the replacement had a dead pixel and pretty bad backlight bleed in the bottom left corner (more light bleed than your average IPS glow). The third monitor arrived today with no dead pixels. Still some slight backlight bleed in the bottom left corner, but considerably better than what I was seeing with the initial replacement. Overall, Id say this is a great monitor to get, just pay close attention to any quality controller issues, and get a replacement right away if you come across any.

Ive spent the last 7 years using a monitor that came free with my computer. I managed to upgrade to dual screen by buying a second monitor from a Goodwill. Most of that time Ive had a 1080 graphics card because my friend gave me his old one. So I literally had to use an HDMI to VGA converter to use my terrible monitors. Ive been saving up for a while now so when I saw a 165hz monitor for this price I had to jump on it. I couldnt believe what a difference it is. I feel like Ive been playing video games with my eyes squinted up till now.

Going from 1080p 144hz to 1440p 165hz was definitely noticeable. FOR THE BETTER. I know average joe reviews help me throughout the buying process, so I hope this helps some of you out there make a decision on whether or not this monitor is for you! I’ve had the same AOC G2590FX for about 1.5yrs. Been a great monitor, but I started to have considerable difficulty recognizing objects at distance (specifically Warzone). Decided it was time to jump up to 1440p for the pixel density and clarity. I am beyond impressed. Although the PX277 Prime isn’t the cheapest 1440p monitor out there, the current price, performance, and features set it apart from the rest for me. I was looking for a Viewsonic VX2758-2KP-MHD, but all three of my orders fell through. Then wanted the PX7 Prime but couldn’t get that in stock within my desired timeline. Soooo long story short I initially selected the PX277 Prime simply because it was the best monitor (based off advertised stats) that I could find available. Initial impressions: color out of the box was too warm, bit under saturated, and not bright enough. I made some simple tweaks and immediately had it exactly where I wanted it. (My settings are in the associated pics). All colors seem true, blacks and gray areas appear very uniform, and refresh rate/input response are more than adequate for FPS. I don’t have any hardware that will provide official results, but my average gamer eyes (Warzone and MW multiplayer exclusively) are beyond pleased. I have no difference in reaction time/ performance than I had while playing at 1080p. If anything, my awareness is enhanced due to the clarity and fidelity of textures as well as my ability to see farther/identify objects at distance. If you’re on a budget, this is a great option. Can’t say it’s the best because I haven’t tried any other 1440p monitors, but based off available reviews online for comparable monitors in this price range The PX277 Prime’s performance is top notch based off my experience.

TLDR: Had high expectations from the product based on the reviews - but disasspointed with a big dead pixed right out of the box and poor picture/color quality. I am upgrading from a Samsung curved 27 1080p 60Hz curved monitor. So immediately noticed and liked the 1440p resolution. Also the 165Hz refresh rate was very noticeable and performed well with FreeSync (I have a RX 5700XT). However this being an IPS panel the color quality was very poor - compared to my Dell IPS 24 monitor. Colors looked over saturated and lacking depth. My Samsung VA panel had much better color rendition. I tried to adjust via picture settings but didnt help much. Most importantly I ran the dead pixel checks immediately on installation and noticed a big dead pixel right out of the box. This definitely reflects poorly on the quality testing at Pixio. I have owned several monitors in the past from known brands - Dell, Lenovo, Samsung etc - and never had any dead pixel issues. I would have replaced for another piece and would have hoped to get one with no dead pixels - had it not been for the poor color quality. On a positive note - the base and stand are very sturdy. Also liked the joystick OSD controls - which I believe is getting more and more common in this price range. Ultimately - I would not recommend this product to my friends/readers. Better to stick with LG, Dell, Lenovo and in a bit higher price range. I think when it comes to the display panels - you pretty much get what you pay for.

I love this monitor. Besides being the perfect spot between screen size and resolution, its color-accurate enough so you can do some photo editing. After calibration, the panel covers around 83 - 85% of the Adobe RGB color space. Not the best but its usable. The panel gets really bright for my needs. I have a balcony door behind me that is open almost every day Im in my room and I have no issues regarding brightness. But, I do have some issues when working at night because black levels are not low enough. If you really want to let your eyes rest, you must turn down all the brightness to zero, reduce the contrast, apply some blue light filter, and have all your apps and websites set in dark mode. For watching content, the display is decent but my unit came with some pretty noticeable backlight bleed at the bottom of the screen, which means that when Im watching movies on full screen, the black bars are not that black. Looks more like a washed-out gray. Overall, its a great product. A real bang for the buck. I got mine at Prime Day for $209.99 and I have zero regrets. Ive paired this bad boy with an RTX 3060 and an i5 11600K and I can reach 165 FPS in most of the games I play. But if your taste is more directed toward story games with ultra graphics, an RTX 3070 or 3070ti is a must.

I really do love this monitor. It has no picture errors and performs as advertised. It has plenty of in/outputs and many options. My ONLY complaint is when I switch inputs from my PC to PS4. If theyre both on when this happens its no problem. However, if I turn off the PC before I remember to switch the inputs and the monitor turns off with the computer, it is insanely difficult trying to turn it back on to switch to the PS4 input before it turns itself off. It is difficult to determine when the monitor is back on, and it turns off before allowing you to switch inputs. Incredibly frustrating. Without that problem I could have easily rated this as a 5 star monitor.

No dead pixels and works well for gaming. For a 27in 1440p 165hz monitor, this is a great option for the price. Be sure to select the IPS version (rather than the TN version). I use this for both gaming and work and am happy with it.

This is my first proper monitor and all I can say is WOWW. Ive never experienced 1440p on a monitor, IPS nor past 90Hz so this is just amazing coming from a 24inch 60hz TN panel. The colors are great, dont bother with HDR its bad just like every single other monitor that claims to be HDR around these price range, response time is good. No dead or stuck pixels but there is some small amount of backlight for me though and I only notice it when I loaded up a black image. The bezels are very thin but there is a small black border around the display on the inside of the bezel. I cant say much for the stand since I mounted it on an arm immediately. 9.5/10 definitely reccomend.
