Pixio PX278 Wave Blue 27 inch 180Hz Refresh Rate QHD 1440p Resolution Fast IPS Panel 1ms GTG Response Time Blue Gaming Monitor with FreeSync

first of all, i would like to clarify that the version of this monitor i bought was the PX278, so keep that in mind, and what i say may only apply to that specific monitor. I bought this monitor for my xbox series X and it works great! i was able to get 1440p 120fps on my xbox just by turning 120fps on. i saw some reviews where people said they couldn't get 1440p 120fps on their series X/S, but i believe most of those reviews were people making the mistake of plugging the HDMI cable into the 75HZ port. on the px278, there is a 144HZ port and a 75HZ port, so make sure you plug in into the right one. Also make sure you are using the ultra high speed HDMI cable that comes with next gen consoles, without it you will only get 1080p 60fps. after that, you just have to go to xbox settings and arrange them to get the most out of your xbox. i would assume most of this applies to the PS5 aswell.Now to the quality and picture.The stand that comes with the monitor is made of sturdy metal, and it fits into the monitor very securely ( assuming you use the right size screwdriver), and the monitor itself feels very solid and sturdy. The resolution looks very impressive, especially for the price range, and the 120FPS seems to run very smoothly. The monitor may be a little bright or dark depending on how you play, but you can change the brightness in the settings. you can also change the saturation and contrast of the colors on the screen, so it's very easy to change it if you don't like it. And in case anyone was wondering, i don't believe there are any colorblind settings. i was hesitant to get a 120fps monitor, because i didnt think it would really be much better than 60 fps, but you can tell the difference. you cant tell the difference between 60fps and 120 right away, but once you start playing FPS games or fortnite for a little, you will notice yourself lining up shots much better than before. so while there isn't necessarily a big visual difference between 60fps and 120fps, it still makes games feel smoother and gives you an advantage.Overall, this is a great monitor, and its great quality, i very much recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap monitor that will let you get the most out of your next gen ( or current gen ) console!

I've been using the monitor for a couple weeks now and I definitely recommend if you are looking for a nice monitor with the bonus of having color options! Typically with colored (and sometimes white) tech products, it always seems to be missing the features and/or quality of their black/gray counterparts (usually with a very high marked up price tag), but here you get good quality for the same price as the black version!Set Up:The monitor came in perfect condition, aside from a scuff or two on the outside box, Monitor is well padded, I wouldn't worry about it breaking during delivery. While I had bought the matching monitor arm (Pixio PS1S), I did initially set up the monitor with the stand given in the box, it was easy to put on and take off in case you wish to switch to a monitor arm. There was an extra square piece in the box that I couldn't figure out what it was(?) it looks like a wall mount but I'm unsure and it isn't listed in any of the manuals provided. It was easy and straightforward to set up, and was easy enough for me (5'2" woman that needs to go to the gym more) to carry on my own. I would still recommend two people just for safety and avoiding any unnecessary scuffs on the monitor.Performance:The resolution and the refresh rate is a nice improvement from my previous monitor, while I mostly use this for programming, the monitor has performed well when playing games and have seen no major issues. Monitor settings were easy to adjust using the buttons on the bottom, and all the ports were easy to access!Overall:Great monitor and gets the job done! Love the color and works great for cozy gaming and working.

I did tons of research and after a bit of back and forth, I decided to purchase two of these monitors for my new WFH setup and already, three days later, one of the monitors is no longer working, despite less than 30 minutes of use! The screen will not show an image no matter which input is used, even the on-screen settings menu refuses show! I work in IT and have troubleshot it to tarnation and back using different devices and systems including PC, Mac, and various game consoles. Still nothing! I was a bit weary of not selecting one of the big brands, but the price and feature set could not be beat. However none of that really matters if the unit doesn't work. I've contacted Pixio regarding the issue and will update this review depending on how that goes, but for now, based off of what I've experienced so far, I cannot recommend purchasing these for any type of mission critical work. I will say, the one that is still working, has been flawless. Decent color reproduction, especially for a TN panel, no dead or stuck pixels, and a great feature set with multiple inputs! All things I desired for my uses. Let's just hope that it continues to work!Update;As stated in my initial experience above, I reached out to the manufacturer for warranty service. I had the pleasure of being connected with a representative by the name of Jason. We did some basic troubleshooting and he then had me send in a video to confirm the issues I was experiencing. It was determined that my unit was defective and we started the return/exchange process. He promptly sent me a shipping label and I had the defective unit picked up, Once it was on it's way, they sent out a brand new unit which arrived in a couple of days. You may think this is par for the course and a standard warranty replacement, but it was not. Jason went above and beyond and had one of the technicians on site test the monitor prior to shipping to ensure that I didn't receive another dud and even sent me a video. He took accountability and went even further to assure me that it was a one off experience. He has also followed up and made sure to remind me of their 3 -year warranty should I have any other issues. While not a big name brand, and despite my initial issues, I think the quality and performance of their products coupled with the outstanding customer service makes their products hard to beat!
