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.

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.

After a series of shipping mishaps with USPS, my package was declared ‘lost’ and I was issued a refund. However the monitor ended up showing up at my place later, so I had the refund and the monitor. Of course the right thing to do is let someone know that I did in fact receive the monitor, but upon setting up the monitor I was motivated to immediately call Amazon because the quality was that good. Of course Amazon could take the loss, but Pixio deserved every penny for the quality it delivered. Great color, no dead pixels, minimal glow, good response times. A simple design, minimal adjustability, but if you really care about that then get a VESA mount, I think a devoted monitor stand doesn’t need to do much. It’s super bright for me, I keep it at 10 brightness (out of 100). I’ve hooked it up to a PC and a Xbox series x, works out of the box with either at maximum refresh rate.

I had a asus 1080p 144hz TN monitor from 2019? For everything Pixio offers with this, the monitor has been great for my first 1440p 165hz Freesync/Gsync monitor. My asus “gaming monitor” was almost the same price new from retail and is still being sold.

I can tell the difference right out of the box. There are some quirks with this monitor. Its not perfect, but for the price, its a solid buy. Pros: - 144hz refresh is butter smooth - No problems with the LED backlighting like Ive seen in some other reviews - The overdrive feature smooths out any noticeable staggering when images are going across the screen- resulting in a very smooth movement of said images. - The lighting is crisp - No issues with monitor detection - Included a DVI cable - G-sync and FreeSync worked fine The Not-So-Good: - The speakers on this are awful. Not bad. Awful. They are tinny and have zero bass: Think AM radio with the bass all the way down. - I had flickering issues when I hooked up a mac. Its not the monitors fault- but be aware that if you are hooking this up to a MacBook Pro- The software has issues. (I primarily use a PC, so I didnt have this problem) - The instructions are non-existent. Just go to their website for anything. All in all, it is a decent buy. Its not a 4K screen, but the smoothness and G-sync compatibility make up for it. And you cant beat the price.

Ive owned many monitors over my 15 year PC gaming hobby. This is my 3rd 2k IPS monitor and a far as the panel goes, its visually as good as any other Ive had. Wont beat an OLED display, but its smooth and silky with 144/165 refresh rate, good picture quality, no dead pixels and mood range OSD options. IPS is clear and vastly superior to the off brand VA panel I just returned (was really bad in dark areas). Overall, a solid display for a great value, you shouldnt be disappointed. My 2nd Pixio too, and never an issue.

There is considerable back light bleed. Doesnt bother me too much as I game in a lighted room, but this is going to be a deal breaker for some. Other then that, its fire.

The 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.

I managed to pick this up while it was on sale. Its a very nice monitor. The color blew me away. I had gotten used to a 144Hz VA which had really dull colors. This monitor looks amazing and Freesync works like its supposed to without issues. I dont really mess with HDR so I cant tell you how well that works. The stand does have a stout aluminum base which is nice to see. I do wish the stand offered height adjustment but its a trade-off for the price. For me it was no big deal as I wanted to get a desk mount stand anyway for both of my monitors. Over all Ive enjoyed this montor and will likely be buying Pixio again in the future.

Turn off your lights and it’s fine
