> 3 dayPros: - Great picture quality. Deep whites, rich blacks, vibrant colors. Good color accuracy after some minor tweaks. Great white and black uniformity. Contrast ratio is lower than most VA panels but still a huge step up from an IPS or TN panel. Gaming is where this monitor really shines! - Two display ports, two HDMI ports - Joystick OSD control was snappy and response. Lots of options in the OSD - Very low input lag, very response Cons: - Small text is blurry and has noticeable fringing. I tried solving this by maxing out the sharpness and using Cleartype and several solutions I found online. This seems to be an issue inherent with VA panels. I planned to use this as a work monitor, but this issue was too noticeable for me. Some will be less sensitive to this though - My unit came with some minor scuffs on the back of the panel Misc: - Stand is very study, but has only tilt adjustment - 32 inches is big for a monitor. Great if its your only monitor, but I had this as a second display and my neck was not happy from needing to move so much - Response time is a mixed bag. Most of the time motion is clear, especially in bright areas. Smearing becomes somewhat noticeable in dark areas. I didnt mind it because it was brief, but if response time is important, then a TN panel or a high end IPS panel will work better for you. Hardware Unboxed stated in their review for this monitor than in terms of response time, its closer to 120hz panel overall

> 3 dayI’m a videographer by day and gamer by night. Color and picture quality are always important. This monitor was a perfect budget option for working on the go. Paired well with my MacBook Pro. Have yet to try it for gaming but look forward to it. Only downside was I bought this from Amazon Warehouse and the video/data capable usb-c to usb-c cable was missing from the box. As Mac users know this is essential for connecting the monitor to the MacBook Pro and not all cables are created equal when it comes to usb-c or Thunderbolt 3. So it took some time to hunt down a cable that work when it should have been included with the original product packaging.

> 3 dayUpdate Nov 5, 2020: The monitor is still going strong. It is on a gas mount stand now. No issues or dead pixels. First review: I am really happy that there is a high Hz 32 inch flat screen option. The Pixio included display port cable is locking. With the freesync disabled and in DP 1, the included cable will do 165hz at 1440 on gtx 970. I like how pleasant the screen light was on the eyes compared to the monitor I have been using. The colors are very decent for an 8 bit monitor. The stand is sturdy and the feet have rubber grips. The headphone audio out works. No, this monitor does not have speakers. I love that this monitor is flat and is cheaper than a gsync. My PX329 32 inch monitor arrived damage from amazon packaging wrong end up. I tested what I could before sadly packing it up for a return. It happens. Pixo was great to respond to my email and get a hold of Amazon to make this process faster. Wonderful customer support that goes above and beyond.

> 3 dayIt’s really good for the Xbox series s I thought it was broken or the description lied because it was just sunning at 60hz, but I just had to change the setting to HDMI and thought solved the problem.And the speakers aren’t that bad the colors are also good and pretty accurate highly recommend for the price

Greater than one weekThe case and cover on this excellent little monitor are made of durable ABS plastic. Here is my rundown: Pros: Super compact, light, single Type-C cable for signal+power+audio, moderately bright, anti-reflective matte screen. 60Hz. Nice packaging w-decent power adapter + cables. Compact/minimalist stand +flip cover. Sufficient rear-firing sound, but not loud. Super thin and easily packed. Cons: A little edge/backlight bleed from IPS panel - but not a real problem, Volume setting is not remembered after sleep/wake or power off cycle (always resets to 50%). Bottom line: Recommended!

Greater than one weekAbsolutely 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.

> 3 dayThe colors aren’t the same for the same exact monitor but different Hz. I was going to make this my main monitor but the colors are off from the other which the colors on that one is really really vivid but this one is dull. You’ll have to find someone to match the quality’s professionally.

> 3 dayWorks decent, it is MPRT, so its not true 1ms response. Not as good as a TN or IPS panel. Dead pixels after 1 week, which they say is expected. Its honestly not acceptable. I had a BenQ for over a year with not a single dead pixel. Will purchase something else and use this as a second monitor. IF you are looking for a main monitor, go with something else. IPS or TN panel. BenQ recommended. You pay for what you get i guess.

> 3 dayI’ve read all the reviews and was hesitant but I just went for it and got this monitor cuz I needed one. It works fine! Make sure to plug the hdmi or whatever cable you have into the right spot. The settings are easy to control and if you run into any issues, solutions are pretty easy to come across online. It’s a perfect size in my opinion and the quality is nice.
