After 24 hours of use, this monitor is absolutely fantastic. No dead pixels to be found, no issues with FreeSync or HDR. This is an absolute bang for the buck 1440p monitor.

I rarely leave a review for anything but I put so much research into this purchase I wanted to help some people out. I bought this for my Xbox Series X because its one of the few monitors that can run 120 FPS with HDR with zero issues. I loaded up Warzone and i was seriously stunned by how big of a difference this was from my 1080P Hp 27VX monitor. This monitor is a great value for delivering on those specs through an HDMI 2.0 port. If you want a solid monitor before 4K 120hz monitors are available then this is for you. I also am using this for work and my windows 10 environment kinda looked like crap but the cool thing is that you can have a profile in the menu for work and gaming. So not having to adjust those settings everyday was nice. Now I don’t know enough about displays to know why my old 1080P made my Windows 10 environment look better but after fooling around with the settings it was usable and didn’t really bother me anymore. My only knock is the stand is insanely sharp and when installing it cut up my wood desk. That could be avoided by putting a cloth down but if you adjust the cables often then you might want a mount or something. It also sits way closer to me now so I’m assuming thats one of the reasons why it looks worse for work. The stand won’t sit as far back as my old HP so again, maybe look at a different stand for it.

Ive been using this monitor for over a week and had no big issues, its a great value monitor, 165hz feels smooth however there is some ghosting as to be expected with an IPS panel. When it arrived, I checked for dead pixels and there were none which was great.
Pros:
Build quality is great with metal stand and sleek solid plastic construction for the monitor.
OSD has plenty of options and is easy to navigate with the button.
G-Sync does work with my GTX 1080 however it can be a little weird at times.
Colours can be pretty decent depending on the calibration.
Cons:
The included power cable is quite short so if your monitor is not right next to a power outlet bear in mind you may have to get a longer kettle lead.
The included kettle lead is loose in the power brick which can cause it to disconnect easily.
Viewing angles are not the best I have seen from an IPS panel compared to a benq monitor I have. Still much better than TN or VA though.
Ghosting is noticable so if you only care about gaming 24/7 a TN panel may be more suitable.
Overall if you know you want an all purpose 1440p monitor for gaming and watching videos/movies or for working with decent colours and good build quality then you cant really flaw this monitor for the price, it is cheaper than well known brands such as acer and I would argue has better build quality when comparing to my friend’s acer monitor.

Colour tip - set HDR
Tip – After messing about trying to calibrate the screen in both OSX and Windows I eventually found switching HDR on fixed all issues! When HDR is enabled RGB colour levels, brightness, saturation etc are disabled however the output accurately matches my 16″ MacBook Pro retina display and looks brilliant! Excellent value for money and looking forward to connecting an Xbox Series X up to it if I every mange to buy one.

Great monitor and confirmed to work with Xbox series x
Great monitor and confirmed to work with Xbox series x
It burns my eyes
Coming from decades of playing at 60hz on TN panels, this is taking some getting used to.
Monitor is fine, no dead pixels etc, swapping between 165HZ DP cable on gaming PC and 60hz on work laptop, fiddly joystick on the rear but my last monitor from Samsung had the same setup.
Go check YouTube if you want in depth reviews from people with more know how and technical lingo than “shiny”, HardWare Unboxed and some other channels all have recent videos on this model
Great quality product & good with xbox series X
Great build quality! Also runs at 1440p / 120hz combined on the series X with some adjustments to the settings etc.

Great monitor for what its worth, the refresh rate quality, the only thing the stand, its too wide and long, makes it awkward on the table, if u have a small desk, it will take some space behind the keyboard.

Great monitor for gaming on my PC and new Xbox Series X. I am capable of getting 120 hz and 1440p on the xbox. This monitor has been fantastic.
Good monitor for the price, but came with dead pixels.
Pros: 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.

Does my job. Runs at 1440p 120fps on Xbox series s.
What i really like about this monitor is its compatibility with consoles. It works like a dream with my ps4 despite the graphics downscaling. I also like the tilt adjustment, height and swivel dont really matter. Great color accuracy, absolutely love the color range of this monitor. The color accuracy is worth the price alone. True Ips color. Great adjustments on brightness and even blue light filtration. The only thing i disliked was the sharp and heavy stand. Im all for a sturdy stand but this stand is heavy and left deep scratches in my desk. Other than that great value 1440p monitor. Ps. The best performance mode for gaming is (medium) regardless of fps.

If I'm being picky, the blacks aren't impressive and there is noticeable light bleed during darker scenes, but for this price it's an amazing value. Great for FPS gaming and good for photo and video work.

Upgraded my gaming system earlier this year and finally had a GPU (5700XT) that could drive a 1440p display. Unfortunately that was May and monitors became either unavailable or expensive. I couldn’t find a single high refresh 1440p monitor for less than $400 and at that point I was only shooting for 75mhz. So I was pleasantly surprised when this new Pixio became available at $310 (BF sale) with up to 165mhz using Display Port. After watching the Hardware Unboxed review, I pulled the trigger and bought two with the other a gift for my son.
Good:
– Its just a great display. With the 5700XT Im able to get 60-90fps on high end games and its just beautiful. One extremely useful feature is an on screen fps display. This really helped when I was doing the initial setup because of the annoying habit of Windows to reset your display at 60mhz. Once I was sure Windows had given up I turned it off.
– Both FreeSync and GSync compatible. FreeSync is “native” and easy to activate, but you do have to turn it on at the display and then turn it on inside the Radeon software. Again, the FPS counter was a huge help in confirming that adaptive sync was actually on. There is some misleading information that FreeSync only works with DP but that is not true. DP is only necessary for 165mhz since HDMI does not support over 144mhz. . Setting up GSync takes a little more work but it gets there. Oh and its also compatible with FreeSync “Premium” – AMDs newer “not free at all” version fo FreeSync.
– Good selection of ports with two HDMI and one Display port. I have my main PC in HDMI 1, a RP4 in HDMI2 and an iMac connected to the Display Port (as a second display). I will likely be switching my PC to the Display Port because my setup has the second display for he iMac on the “wrong” side and try as I might I cant get used to it.
– Decent adjustment controls with a joystick style button on the back right (as you face it) allowing you to use your right hand to use it (sorry lefties). The “press right to select” is slightly counter intuitive.
Not so good:
– Biggest negative is a pretty big one – zero adjustability. The stand is completely fixed – no tilt, no swivel, no height (EDIT: I was wrong, there is tilt). Worse it is very low with 5″ (12.7CM) distance from the desk surface to the bottom edge of the actual display (not the bezel edge but the display part). For comparison my iMac sits on a small (less than 2″) stand and the bottom of the display is just over 8″ (20.3CM). Having said all that, the stand is very beefy and holds the monitor well with one exception (see below).
– The stand is VERY wide – 16″ wide and 10″ deep. I was able to find a stand on Monoprice that will fit but it wasn’t easy. In hindsight I should have bought an adjustable VESA compatible monitor stand. The monitor accepts VESA 100 mounts and Monoprice has an excellent one. Either way, its $25-30 to fix this stand issue (if it is an issue for you) meaning a competing monitor with a height adjustable stand that cost $20 more is a better value.
– The stand has a one button quick release which is really great except it is in a spot that your hand naturally goes to to move the monitor. I nearly dropped the display when I was first getting it setup because I grabbed it by the quick release. Be careful!
– I am having an annoying issue with the monitor not waking up from sleep at times. I have not been able to isolate it as a monitor issue or a GPU issue because I had some strange sleep related errors with my last monitor too but this is much worse. I have emailed Pixio tech support but no resolution so far. EDIT: Great response from Pixio. Likely a bad HDMI cable. I switched to Display Port and the problem disappeared.
Overall this is a great monitor and an amazing value. If the stand were adjustable I would be ready to call it perfect. If you dont mind the display sitting low or have a ready made solution I have zero reservations about recommending this. If you are doing a dual arm setup your should absolutely consider this. You will be hard pressed to find a monitor at this price point with the features and quality of the P277. Even spending $30 for an adjustable stand its still a great value. No regrets from me.
Purchased this as a gift and it was a HUGE hit!! This brand is a hidden gem.

Awsome
I am really happy with this buy very good for the money and my gaming experience is so much better since I got this and I wouldn’t ever look back if you looking at this item it’s worth buying
An AMAZING value for an AMAZING monitor. Use this for my series x and it looks so great running optimized games at 1440p 120hz. Can’t believe how cheap it is for what you get. Good job Pixio!
I recently got this monitor and waited no time and connect it to my Xbox series s it looks amazing. No input lag great graphics it changes the competitive gaming experience to another level. The package was shipped double boxed and with heavy protection to prevent mis handling damages. Great Product overrall

Best 1440p 165Hz monitor for the price, and although the HDR isn’t ‘true’ HDR it definitely looks great anyway. Very happy with this monitor, hits the sweet spot for most gamers.
Upgrading from a TN 1080p 60 hz 24 inch monitor, to this IPS 1440p 165 hz is a HUUUUUGE difference. Well, I’m sure that’s obvious, but it really makes a difference. Right now I can’t even run many games above 90 fps, and given I still have about 75 fps of breathing room, I know I’m future proof while I upgrade my gpu.
Not certified G-sync but it is compatible- although again I don’t get past 90 fps very often, so I don’t notice a difference with it on or off.
Read some reviews of dead pixels, fortunately the screen is perfect and only minor I guess it’s called Ips glow on the left side, but it’s only noticeable when I’m in complete darkness, and on a dark scene in a video game. This is me nit picking, though.
I believe there are 2 competitors to this monitor right now in this price range, and the newer gigabyte option is tempting, however given most people won’t be maxing out this monitor anyway, latency time is on par with what you’d expect in this price range, and if I’m being honest, I personally notice zero inverse ghosting (I think it’s called) until I set overdrive to high. High, it does make games have a strange trail to movement so I tend to stick to low or medium and latency is never an issue. great choice.
Good value for the price. No ghosting issue for my pa
I’ve received the package recently , good overall monitor I’ve checked a lot of review for which one to buy , This was one that would be on budget side . Still the price is really low compared to the others even on rebate .
I only see a little ghosting if I push the overdrive in low fps . For the rest its non existent . You got the middle mode over 100 hz and below 100hz the standard or low mode that suits it well .
I had one issue…. a single sub green and blue pixel that is dead on arrival… does it bother me ? Not at all because the only time I can see it is when I try really hard on a white background and I need to search it even if I know the area where it is .
Pros: fast at 165 hz . Great quality build overall, Little bezel. No apparent ghosting. Great colors on arrival
Cons: Not a single mode for all refresh rate (though common at the budget ips pannel) . 2 sub pixels of a pixel dead on arrival ( doesn’t bother me and could bother other people and not covered on warranty)
So overall great quality ! Fast and responsive ! Though you need to switch overdrive mode a bit when you play different games or do something else . Not a perfect score because of this and the dead sub pixel .

Absolutely killer monitor for the price. Image fidelity, viewing angles, refresh rate, thin bezels, all top notch. The OSD menu is super easy to navigate with the “joystick” on the back, something rarely the case with other monitors. If you’re looking for a high refresh rate 1440P IPS panel, this is the one, hands dow

If you’re looking for a high refresh rate 1440P IPS panel, this is the one, hands dow
Amazing
Had a bit of trouble with the power lead didnt plug in all the way but eventually did
The colours of this monitor are so good and it’s so smooth for the price it is 100% worth it also very well packaged

Bought this for my husband as a birthday gift after his last computer monitor took a crap. He is a gamer and can be very picky and really only wants the best quality for the best price. After some research I found this pixio monitor to suprise him with. He ended up loving this monitor and uses for gaming on his computer and Xbox. It is definitely worth the buy!

The 165hz is awesome, colours are great too. Honestly really happy with it so far. There’s a little bit of ghosting on black screens in a dark room but it doesn’t bother me a ton. For the price I don’t know of many other monitors that are this good

A great 1440P monitor with fast response time and 144hrz output. It makes every game I play as smooth as butter. Trust me when I say you do not need 4K for a great experience on PC. Leave that resolution for your primary TV or an ultra wide monitor. 1440p at 60-120fps is the sweet spot, and this monitor handily delivers on that.
Monitor is awesome but the included stand is a pretty intrusive if you've a small desk

Really good monitor at this price point. Can run 1440p 120 hz on my series x. Even can run 4K at 60.

The Pixio PX277 Prime is a very good gaming monitor for the price. Good resolution, a ton of real-estate, fast refresh rate (1440p at 144 or 165 Hz over DP1.2), IPS produces superior images and more vibrant colors. The monitor is plenty bright, in fact I had to turn it down to 50 and I might turn it down even more yet. I don't use HDR or FreeSync, so I cannot comment on those features. I do have some IPS glow and slight blooming, but not terrible for a monitor with such thin bezels. Build quality is excellent for this price range. I did have to go into Windows 10 display settings and set it for a higher refresh rate. Windows defaulted to 60 Hz, even though it detected the monitor correctly and I would have expected it to automatically use the highest refresh rate supported by the monitor, but no. Overall, this is a great gaming monitor for those on a budget.

Great frist impression so far. I’m 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. I’ve 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 love this monitor so much I bought a 2nd one for a family member. There are no dead pixels on either of the ones I bought. It feels great going from 1080 60hz TN&VA panels to 1440 165hz IPS. The difference is amazing. Paired nicely with my new build I won’t ever be downgrading. There are no speakers but monitor speakers are never that good anyway. Targeted for people who will use headsets.

So I was looking for a steal this Black Friday (2020) on a pair of monitors to upgrade from my 24″ 1080p 75hz monitors and found these. I was nervous about buying these because they offered so much especially for the price (original price not BF sale price) and I read a few bad apple reviews while doing my research on it talking about really bad backlight bleed or dead pixels right out the box but both of the monitors I received had no hardware flaws or damage. Admittedly When first turning them on the picture was all over the place one was a harsh blue and the other was a harsh darkish yellow. But after messing with the settings myself, calibrating them to my liking and referring to some google recommendations they are AMAZING!
Colors-vibrantly beautiful (although my phone pictures and video don’t do it justice )
Design-aesthetically pleasing and they’re bezel-less so multi monitor setup looks even better.
Display- no backlight bleed and no dead pixels, perfect
Stand- solid metal with zero wobble
Freesync- works, no tearing.

Perfect value
First time experiencing 1440p or an IPS panel after using a 1080p 60hz monitor for a decade couldn’t be happier. Really noticing the difference. Great value too.
I’ve been looking for a monitor to go with the Xbox Series X and this is the 3rd monitor that I have tried.
This monitor is actually perfect for the Series X, as it can do both 4K at 60hz, and 1440p at 120hz, so you’re getting the best of both worlds.
There were no dead pixels, and the stand was very easy to assemble although you will need a Philips screwdriver. There is a tiny bit of backlight bleed around the corners but you will almost never even see it while you’re gaming unless you are actually looking for it.
The monitor is just really nice to look at, with its IPS panel and the colours are just really nice as well.
Overall if you’re looking for a new monitor to go with the Xbox Series X, I would highly recommend this as it’s seriously just perfect for it. If you’re looking for a monitor for the PS5, I would try something else as the PS5 doesn’t support 1440p.
This was the third monitor I’ve tried in the course of one-week, trying to find an affordable option for desktop gaming on the new Xbox Series X that hits most of the top-end specs. I knew I’d ultimately have to decide between models that offer 4K/60fps or 1440p/120fps, but surprisingly this monitor supports BOTH over the HDMI-1 connection. Series X can give you best of both worlds depending the games you want to play.
The 27″ ISP panel is also crisp and easy on my eyes for daily text/web work over DisplayPort. Colors and sharpness are excellent with HDR enabled for both gaming and work.
Highly recommend this model for anyone else looking at a versatile console gaming monitor!
Good quality
I had an issue with it in the beginning as it didn’t want to turn on. I noticed it was the power brick. I gave it some light taps and it turned on. It’s been doing well ever since then. Other then that, I’ve had no other problems but I do wish there was a better way to contact them via phone bumber to resolve issues quicker..
All in all its a great monitor.

if you casually play games or like to get involved in a good shooter, this is the monitor for you. good price, quality product, very smooth at 165Hz and mine has no dead pixels. a slight bit of bleeding on the left side but hardly noticeable. very happy especially as its a company iv never used before.
Update 13/01/2021, iv got a second on and its the same story as the first. The first one i got is still going strong with no changes to mention.

Excellent budget gaming monitor - only two complaints
Excellent budget gaming monitor. Great screen size, resolution, refresh rate, and input lag.
Only two complaints I have are that the stand it comes on takes a up a lot of room and there are no internal speakers.
Overall, though, looks great and worth the money.
Love it!!
What a fantastic monitor this is for the price! ZERO dead pixels on arrival, color accuracy and sharpness are fantastic out the box. Very happy 🙂
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 I’m 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 I’m 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, I’d 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.

This is an outstanding monitor for its price. Very crisp, clear picture. No ghosting when gaming, everything is kept incredibly sharp.
I keep it at 144hz when on the desktop, and at 165hz for gaming. Works well with Gsync.

Blistering fas
With freesync on and 165 hz at middle od settings this monitor for an ips feels very fast and responsive. Have tried way more expensive monitors and this competes in that department. Colour is where you are not getting the best performance compared to more expensive panels but the colour is still good with adjustments and still a nice ips panel. HDR does not exist on this monitor(It shouldnt anyway) looks bad and is not bright enough to display any sorts of hdr content. Get this monitor for gaming and normal media purposes (youtube, movies etc). Overall amazing monitor for the price.

This is a fantastic monitor for the price, if you make these adjustments you can get it perfect: Colour temp R=37, G=34, B=33, Brightness=22 (120cd/m2), Contrast=74, Saturation=46/47, Freesync=On, Overdive=Middle>=120fps or low<=100fps *PIXIO TAKE NOTE* If anyone is having problems with Freesync and blanking out issues. Download CRU and edit the "Range limits: 48-166, ...." to 50-166 under "Detailed Resolutions" click ok and then use the "Restart.exe" app to ensure your new settings are taken right there and then. You can use Gsync pendulum demo to test before and after. It works! Pixio needs to either make a driver profile or fix their firmware! If it wasnt for this monitor I would have S2721DGF Next but you cant buy them right now as the price is so close. Other than that this monitor is your guy!

Fine choice
It’s a good choice for a cheap 144hz and 1440p monitor. The menu is annoying to navigate through.
Don't overlook this monitor because you don't know the brand. Been pleasantly surprised by the quality of the product so far. Good build, Nice design. Good display quality. Much better for the eyes with the 165Hz refresh rate.

HUGE VALUE!!
Cons: none
Pros: cheap, I paid $320, very thin bezels on the side and top, stand seems very sturdy.
I will update on picture quality when I get it running.
I bought these monitors for a small deal $330 each, they were selling for $380 originally but I got lucky. I’ve watch YouTube reviews on this product and it was nothing but good things. I happy that I’ve bought three of them. 1440p 165Hz is definitely a sweet spot for me. I was planning on buying a 1080p 240Hz but 1080 display is getting old for me unless your very competitive in video games. I don’t mind being competitive in some games but sometimes is nice to chill to play a game where I’m not getting raped by a team that spawn trapping you because of SBMM, other than that the monitors are amazing.👌👌

So far it has been a great monitor, have had it for about a week now. So far the best starting point for calibration are the numbers Hardware Unboxed put out in their review. This will be updated a little later when I have a better idea of what to put down.

Offers a lot for the price
This is a great monitor for the price, although I’ve had 2 so far that have had bad backlight bleed and 1 dead pixel on each. Gonna try my luck with a third, other than that the monitor offers lots of features including 165hz, IPS, 1440p,1ms response time and expected HDR with 350 nits.

If you're like me and always run duel monitors or more this is a great product, it has great colors and was fairly useable out of the box, only thing I changed was turning it to srgb. I will admit that I am unsure if I am currently running 1ms delay since there is a setting called msprt however when I turn that on my screen becomes extremely dark, almost to the point I can't use it.

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. (Model as of September 2020)

(Model as of September 2020)
So I took a risk buying a non brand name gaming monitor and I have to tell you it’s a really great monitor for the price. It’s still early but the stand is solid and the ips monitor is very bright and fps is very up there. The only thing I would be picky about is the on and off controller in back of monitor is loose, no sure if it’s supposed to be but definitely not a deal breaker. Very well rounded monitor and I will be buying more Pixio products especially with that 3 year rework warranty!! only concern is bleed through but it’s not that bad.

Great monitor. Currently using this with an xbox one x @1440p 120hz. Smooth as butter. There is a little ips glow at the edges but it is only noticeable when the screen is totally black. Great bang for the buck. Both hdmi ports can produce 144hz… Which is pretty rare.
The colours are fantastic, reds pop like I’ve never seen.

The stand is very big, could have probs made more profit with a different stand but its VESA mountable which is super handy, will be buying a new stand though

They have perfected this monitor for this price point, it has great resolution and a nice widescreen. The stand is sturdy and the VESA mount makes it easy to add a wall mount. The only downside is that the screen is pretty heavy for its size and you might have trouble finding a wall mount that can support the weight. This has 2 HDMI inputs and one DP1.2 port. Overall Superb Quality!

Been using this monitor for the past week and I’m very impressed. Colours are very good. The only thing i did notice was the faint grey lines that seemed to be more prominent with freesync on. Not sure if this is intended. Overall i am happy with the monitor, for what would have cost 150 more from a bigger brand the value and the quality is top notch and i can recommend it to anyone on the lookout for a budget fast refresh gaming monitor.

Pretty great for the price with the specs it has. Build quality is good with a sturdy Metal stand base. The Top and Side bezels of the Monitor are barely visible. As for the Monitor I would adjust the settings once you get it setup. These are the settings that I found gave me the best experience.
Display – Preset FPS2
Sharpness – 50
Ultra Vivid – ON
Color Temperature – Cool
Gamma – Off
Hue – 50
Saturation – 60
Low Blue Night – 0
Freesync ON when playing games / OFF when consuming media such as Youtube
Overdrive – Medium
HDR – OFF
DCR – OFF

The Pixio Prime is a solid pickup if you’re 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 that’s adjustable
Overall if you’re in the market for a cost efficient screen for gaming & work – look no further!
