> 3 dayNot the best picture or colors out there, but definitely punches well above its weight. Great for gaming with the fast response & high refresh rate. Overall can definitely recommend at its price point!

> 3 dayPros: colors were great, 165hz was very nice, only $330 which is pretty great for 1440p 165hz, on screen display was easily controllable with a mini joystick on the back, easy to set up gsync on it, nearly 0 back light bleed. Cons: the stand was very large for my small desk, seemed to have some sort of motion blur effect on some games, and sadly my monitor came with a few dead pixels so I ended up returning it. Overall good monitor for the price if it didn’t have any dead pixels.

10-06-2025The PX278 does not have built-in speakers. If you want to use the monitor as an audio source, you will need to plug in headphones or external speakers to the monitors 3.5mm headphone jack on the back.

Greater than one weekThe Pixio Prime is a solid pickup if youre looking to have a solid viewing experience. I picked up two (for consistency) for work/entertainment purposes and I must say - THIS IS A STEAL! Pros: Very affordable - most monitors with these specs are in the low $500s Nearly bezel less screen Comes with; a stand, DP cord, and easy to follow instructions Lightweight Cons: Will need to play around with the settings - for some reason one screen was 165hz and the other was 60 No speakers - but who shops for monitors looking for speakers? Stands are solid but you cannot adjust the screen height - simple solution would be to get a monitor stand thats adjustable Overall if youre in the market for a cost efficient screen for gaming & work - look no further!

Greater than one weekPurchased the PX278 1440p 144Hz. The monitor has no buttons. Just simple plug and play. It powers on/off and switches inputs with the connected devices automatically. Incredible performance, but with the lack of image settings causes the visuals to lack in contrast and colors with some devices.

> 3 dayThis monitor provides beautiful image full of color and looks great with 165 hz. Wasnt a bad price but still after spending 100s of dollars on anything its a bummer to have a stuck pixel right in the middle of the screen that I will never unsee. After downloading the manual PIXIO states that up to a 0.01% pixel failure rate is normal. Doing some math on this 2560 x 1440 monitor equates that to a potential of 368 dead pixels as acceptable by PIXIO and I doubt they will return under that margin. Just be aware of that before you buy. Maybe they shipped me the one with a dead pixel because I bought the discounted one on Prime day?

> 3 dayPX277 - I bought this monitor for 1440p gaming with FreeSync, 165hz refresh rate, and < 1ms response time, with my GTX 1070. I am impressed by its features, and performance, especially at the price point. I was a little worried about FreeSync working with Nvidia G-Sync, since this monitor wasnt on Nvidias compatibility list, but I managed to get it working. You have to enable FreeSync on the monitor before your graphics card will detect the capability. Once FreeSync is enabled, you can enable G-Sync settings from the Nvidia Control Panel. When you go through G-Sync setup, make sure to select the final checkbox, under display specific settings, even if your only using one monitor. Also, review the global 3D settings, and make sure Monitor Technology is set to G-SYNC Compatible. There are some other settings here you may want to tweak for performance. There is an issue with the monitor blanking, due to low frame rates, causing the refresh rate to fall below the monitors range. This rarely happens in game, but it does happen ocassionally. However, some desktop applications, like LibreOffice, also trigger G-Sync, which causes this blanking behavior very frequently, outside of gaming. So I just keep FreeSync disabled, when Im not gaming. I found reference that you can use a third-party app called Custom Resolution Utility to help manage this, but I havent researched it enough yet. Im not sure about HDR, though. Ive never had an HDR capable display before, so its probably a settings issue, but HDR doesnt seem to work properly in some games, then works beautifully in others. I generally leave HDR disabled, unless I know it works for the game Im playing. I almost bought a similar 1440p, G-Sync Certified monitor, with a 144hz refresh rate. But when I saw this one, with higher 165hz refresh rate, at a lower price point, I figured I would give it a shot. Overall, I am very happy with how this monitor performs. FYI; I couldnt find this doccumented anywhere, but you can turn the monitor on/off by long-pressing the menu rocker switch, on the back of the monitor.

12-06-2025The monitor worked well and looked pretty good for 13 months. The price was not bad at under $300 for the given specs. I only ran it at 120hz (for longevity...), but it still kicked the bucket way too early. Ill probably spend a little extra and get a higher quality monitor for my next purchase. Thanx a bunch Pixio.

> 3 dayIt’s near perfect but it came with a tiny scratch out the box, I’m going to see about exchanging it and hopefully then I’ll change to a 5 star

> 3 dayGreat frist impression so far. Im going from a dinky 32 inch 1080p, probably like 10ms response time and probably sub 60hz Vizio TV from 2012. Upgrading to this monitor for my One S is like throwing those old pairs of torn basketball shoes in the trash and finally putting on some fresh Jordans. Ultimately, I purchased this monitor for when I get my hands on the Series X. Ive done the research, and to the best of my knowledge, this monitor will be able to run 1440p res at 120hz no problem. BEWARE: I bought a Dell monitor before, and had to cancel the order because after further research, that monitor(1440p144hz) does not support 120hz. Firmware issue. Do your research peeps! Pixio is a GREAT choice!
