> 3 dayThe good: -No dead pixels, or any other significant defects, on my sample. -Extremely low input/processing latency. -Solid OSD options, including a usefully granular black boost control. -Stand is sturdier than I was expecting. -Better contrast and blacks than virtually any TN or IPS panel without FALD. -Minimal black crush. -VRR (VESA Adaptive Sync/Freesync/G-Sync) works. -165Hz refresh rate without VRR, 48-144Hz with it. -Thin overall, minimal bezel, and no-nonsense styling. The bad: -Absurd dead pixel policy of 99.99% guaranteed working pixels...which means almost 400 of them can be defective before the display is eligible for warranty. -Contrast relatively poor for a VA panel; closer to 2000:1 static than advertised 3000:1. -Default settings no where near accurate; needs considerable adjustment for best results. -Response time borderline for 144Hz+. -Noticeable overshoot ghosting on highest overdrive setting. -Mild color uniformity issues. -Cheap screws for stand; stripped the heads on at least one of them first install. In the end, I would definitely recommend this display to anyone looking for a solid gaming and general use experience on a 32 1440p display without spending a fortune. Its one of only two non-curved display lines with these specs that Ive been able to find, and Ive had better experiences with this one.

> 3 dayAbsolutely beautiful. the ips panel makes colors pop. went back and launched some old games; its a new experience. Gotham knights at 1440p 60fps at night looking at the colors on buildings, the character detail, the lights defusing thru fog off cars. just immaculate. buying another one for sure. no idea why i held off for 2 years.

Greater than one weekArrived with no issues, very quick and painless set up. I’ve had no issues in the last ~2 months of daily, 8-15 hour usage. I find it has good color balance, even if it is a little bright in some settings. (Can be easily fixed with a screen dimming program). Only complaint I could have is that I haven’t found any buttons on it at all. Maybe it’s just me missing it, but I haven’t found any power or menu button. It automatically turns on / off when I turn my computer on/off, but would be nice to be able to turn it off while having my computer on.

> 3 dayOverall this is a quality monitor from a good company; packaging is secure and somewhat premium and the build quality is solid for such an affordable portable monitor. However if you are planning on using this as a larger screen for your Nintendo Switch as I did, make sure to use the official Nintendo AC adapter instead of the one supplied in the box since the power delivery system for the Switch has such a unique voltage. The supplied adapter surged my console after connecting over USB-C and I was unable to turn it on until doing a hard reset; which initially made me believe that the console had been bricked. But I would still recommend using official Nintendo power supplies for any external devices for use with the Switch.

> 3 dayGreat picture quality, very smooth, good for gaming, etc. Monitor has crosshairs, 1 display port, 2 HDMI ports, and a USB slot. Works wonders, and for the price is perfect.

> 3 dayAfter two weeks, Im pleased (saving that 5th star for when I find out its lifespan). Beautiful picture, no dead pixels that I can see. I use it entirely for gaming, although Ive been playing slower-paced strategy-type games recently, so Im probably not testing the refresh rate very hard. The signal cord is very slightly loose in its socket, so every once in a while the screen would black out and Id have to reach up and tap the cord to re-seat it. I put a thick book there so the cord is forced to bend one way, and that seems to fix it. A little tape might be the way to go if you cant do that, or maybe yours will fit tighter.

> 3 dayWhen my friend recommended Pixio to me I was a bit hesitant because of their price tag. However, I bit the bullet and bought the monitor when it was on sale. The picture is crisp and the settings allow for a rather dynamic set of changes. You can also save different profiles into the monitor itself so you can easily have a few different picture modes along side the ones that come standard. The on-screen FPS display is a bit too big for my liking, but its still cool they include the feature. The crosshair is super useful, since it can not only be re-positioned, but theres a few variations on the style too. No more putting a piece of tape on the screen and drawing a dot here, and no need to buy some silly laser-dot string to put on your monitor either. Theres also a timer built into the screen but I havent actually made use of that just yet. All in all, its a great monitor and well worth the money, sale or not. But do pay attention to which model youre buying. The 248 and 248S are almost identical, but the 248S is a bit smaller in height (like 2-4cm or so) and has a higher refresh rate (144hz vs this one at 120).

Greater than one weekBought it for work. I do allot of two screen work with detail floor plans etc. Needed to have something that was about the same height at the tablet we get and this fits that perfectly. The screen is clear and sound is decent but a little lower than you would probably want for watching video but it being so thin I think it would be difficult to get much more. The screen comes with a whole whack of cables so you have a number of ways to connect it to your specific computer. I tried to use a USB-C from a docking system but the dock didnt seem to like the configuration and kept tried to reset the monitor. I ended up going directly from my table to the monitor with a USB-C and powering it off the other USB-C. The reason for the 4 star rating is there seems to be no way to keep the settings for brightness or sound so every day I have to crank up the brightness and sound, which is a little inconvenient. Besides that it is a very good monitor that fits in my laptop bag so great for traveling if thats what you are planning to do.
