Update 10/11/22: Ive now had the monitor for five months and its still just okay. Its starting to show signs of problems. Over the months it has developed multiple stuck, red, pixels in various places of the display. Initially running an app designed to reset stuck pixels fixed the problems, but now that no longer works and theyre constantly on all the time. Its quite disappointing, if Im honest. Added a photograph using the recently launched Overwatch 2 to clarify my original reviews comments about the HDR capabilities of each system. As you can see in the image, the Xbox Series X version of OW2 says HDR is not available on this display while the PS5 version clearly shows that HDR is available. Pixios marketing claims the monitor supports Xbox Series HDR at 1080p but that is untrue. No Xbox Series title will recognize this as an HDR compliant display. --- Original Review: Living in a smaller space, I needed something to upgrade my console gaming experience but most decent TVs are 40 and above these days. After looking up the specifications on Pixios website, I settled on the P273 Prime as it hit all the bullet points I cared about. I dont really care about 4K but HDR, 120Hz, low flicker and AMD Freesync support were must haves. Overall, it HAS been a major step up from my old 32 TV from 2015 but not without a host of frustrations. First, the brightness is poor and needs to be on 100% all the time whether youre in a bright room or a dark room. Anything lower than that and the entire display looks dull no matter what other options you set. Although their specifications sheet claims it supports HDR on Xbox Series X | S, in reality neither console detects it as HDR capable and, therefore, doesnt allow you to calibrate the display for HDR. This, apparently, is because the Xbox Series consoles wont recognize HDR on anything lower than 4K displays even if the displays are capable of them. So with the HDR setting turned on On, the display is essentially emulating HDR10 on the Xbox Series games. The Xbox Series has no problems detecting the display as 120Hz capable and defaults to that mode automatically. It also detects the AMD Freesync capabilities but the setting to use it needs to be manually turned to on in the Xbox settings. On the PlayStation 5, HDR works flawlessly on games that support it. The PS5 settings menu allows for HDR calibration. 120Hz mode is also game-dependent but on the games which offer 120Hz modes, the display works perfectly when those modes are enabled. However, the PS5 will not recognize the display as being AMD Freesync VRR compatible, but this is likely due to Sonys recent implementation of VRR and not being fully compliant with all Freesync devices. And then theres the audio quality. Its so bad it makes me wonder why they even included a headphone jack in the first place. There is no bass, the highs clip to the point where they just cut out entirely, and the mids sound like listening to music in tin cans. The issue is so significant that I contacted Pixio support because I was wondering if I had a defective unit. The response I received in return was disheartening. Heres the direct quote from the support e-mail reply: Unfortunately, the audio is as intended. The audio jack is meant for convenience and not sound quality. You will often find that most, if not all, monitors will be the same in audio quality. This feels like a poor excuse to me when cheaper TV units have significantly better digital audio converters in them. I ordered a USB-A to 3.5mm converter that has a better DAC in it, and that cost $5.99. I find it incredulous to believe they spend all the money on display hardware but cheap out on a DAC that makes the audio nearly useless. If youre on PC, this wont be an issue because youre going to be using your PCs on-board or third party audio solution. But if, like me, youre using this as a console display, the only option is to use headphones through the respective controllers or buying a separate bluetooth audio device. This is an inconvenience, how much of one depends on what you already have at hand or if you dont mind faster battery drain from your controllers doing all the audio work for you. All in all I like the display but I rather wish I had spent a bit more on something better. Im still debating returning it and buying something different. But the visuals have been such a step up from my old TV, I dont really want to go back.

Ive had this monitor for nearly a year now, Ive had to get it replaced once already because pixels were stuck on green. They replaced the monitor for me, but it shouldnt be an issue in the first place. The stand is also MASSIVE and takes up way too much space on my desk as well as being very heavy and requiring tools to screw in. Otherwise the monitor is great: fast response time, great color depth, dark blacks, high fps.

UPDATE 3 months later: Ive developed a white spot on the monitor, presumably where a backlight LED isnt diffusing properly for whatever reason. This is more noticeable on a pure white background, once you see it you wont be able to un-see it. If it becomes too distracting Ill have to go and ask Pixio if this is covered by their warranty. Additionally, activating FreeSync shifts the entire screen upwards, chopping off the top 5ish pixels of the screen. Bit disappointing, but otherwise this is still a good monitor with great value. -- I was skeptical, but this monitor is fantastic, especially for the price. Just a few years ago a 144Hz IPS wouldve easily cost more than double the price of this one. I have no issues with backlight glow, dead pixels, or ghosting. Colours are to my satisfaction out of the box with minimal tweaking. I will say that this monitor is *very* light, to the point that I almost tip it over every time I push the power button to turn it on, and the included stand is quite short -- a 3rd party stand or VESA arm is pretty much a necessity.

Not 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!

When it first arrived I had high hopes for it being pretty decent. And decent it was. The picture quality is very good when playing some games like GTA or any bright games on the PS5, but whenever I would play games such as Resident Evil 8, you could notice in multiple spots, a very bright backlight bleed. I tried to avoid it but it kept catching my eye and was very distracting whenever I entered a dark room. I ended up returning it then purchasing a new one in hopes of it just being a defective product, but the new one came with the same problem just not as severe as the first.

I play this with my PS5 and graphics and refresh rate is good. I have no complaints here. Alot clearer than my 60 Samsung TV. Im so glad I went either the 27 vs the 24.

For the price, this monitor is truly impressive. I returned a 25 1080p 240hz IPS Monitor ($400) after I tested this Pixio beside it. First, the Pixios pixel density (PPI) is good around 32-34 away from the screen and I was unable to spot the screen door effect. I also found the colors to be vibrant after some minor calibration and a slight saturation boost via my AMD Software. For gaming, the Freesync and motion blur performance was great. No problems. Also, black light bleed was very minimal and I did not notice it while surfing the net or playing games. Lastly, the monitor stand and speakers are trash but I expected that. I had no issues mounting the Pixio on a universal monitor stand. Link Below :) Overall, I am happy with my purchase and plan on keeping it.

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.

Great 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!

I have been frustrated trying to find a good monitor for a while, but I was really happy when I got this. The colors are vibrant, resolution is great, the height, tilt, swivel are helpful. Its really nice to have basically a usb dock built into the back with Ethernet etc. You can tell that high quality materials are used, even the external power block has quality design and material. Very sturdy build overall, easy to set up. I am very happy with this purchase, I believe its worth the price. I got this specifically to use with the steam deck and it is great. There have been no issues so far really. The text clarity is great in desktop mode, definitely suitable for productivity needs. Games look really good and everything runs well except if you are playing demanding games you will have to turn down the games resolution to get better performance but it still looks okay. All you have to do is plug in the usb c from the steamdeck to the monitor and thats it. Great for cable management and it even charges the steamdeck at the same time. The only thing that disappointed me was that I would have liked this monitor to include the usb c cable. It comes with a display port cord though. I would still give this 5 stars, you cant go wrong with this.
