Pixio PX277 Prime 27 inch IPS 165Hz Refresh Rate WQHD 2560 x 1440 Resolution 1ms MPRT Response Time HDR Adaptive Sync Esports Premiere LCD Gaming Monitor

Not the best picture or colors out there, but definitely punches well above its weight. Great for gaming with the fast response & high refresh rate. Overall can definitely recommend at its price point!

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 dont 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.

When it first arrived I had high hopes for it being pretty decent. And decent it was. The picture quality is very good when playing some games like GTA or any bright games on the PS5, but whenever I would play games such as Resident Evil 8, you could notice in multiple spots, a very bright backlight bleed. I tried to avoid it but it kept catching my eye and was very distracting whenever I entered a dark room. I ended up returning it then purchasing a new one in hopes of it just being a defective product, but the new one came with the same problem just not as severe as the first.

Works well

My son enjoys it

I was alittle skeptical of the price point of this monitor since lots of other well known brands were easily $100+ more but after watching reviews on YouTube from some well know tech reviewers I decided to give this one a try. And man I was blown away at performance per dollar I was getting. Is it perfect? No, but at this price point i can’t complain one bit. The colors are far better with the ips display compared to my 240hz Alienware monitor that I pay $400 for. You do need to adjust it manually to get the best out of it but out of the box is fine too. The refresh rate is perfect for this type of output as well. The stand is the only reason why it’s not a perfect 5 stars. Legs poke alittle and not much height adjustment but I’d rather that be the cost savings instead of the screen itself.

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.

-OLD- (Pixio PX277 Prime) This monitor looked promising. Plugged it in and it worked for about 5minutes. After that I was hit with No Signal and then Power Saving. The display port on the monitor is faulty. Wiggling the DP cable from the box hasnt worked. Positioning the cable to be taut a certain way hasnt worked either. If youre looking for a 165hz monitor that is STABLE, dont go for this. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -EDITED Dec13,2022- Headline: DISPLAYPORT CABLES Contacted support for the monitor(Pixio PX277 Prime) over the past week. I thought the port in the monitor was faulty. Turns out the monitor came with a DP1.2 which wasnt strong enough to hold a connection. I bought a DP1.4 after consulting them and the issue was solved. When I told them the solution, they offered a partial refund for the cable. Make sure you have the correct cables for your gear. Thanks to PixioSupport for being very thorough.

Would be 5 stars if the stand wasnt the heaviest/biggest part of this monitor. Graphics wise they hit the nail on the head. Rgb light isnt controllable other than on & off (unless I am stupid). The stand legs take up 60% of my desk my desk is 64×64x28 I think. If your cramped for space wall mount or find a different monitor. If on console youll be fine.

This monitor lasted over a month with no problems. Then shortly after now monitor looses all power. The external power supply still showing power going to monitor but monitor will not turn on, no red light or blue light indicating sleep mode or on/off mode. So upon further troubleshooting I found that if I unplug the external power supply for more than a minute and plug monitor back it it works for a day or two. Email company april 10th, here it is april 23rd still no word. I was waiting patiently before I wrote a 1 star review, because must companys make things right, especially when its still under warranty, I guess Pixio isnt one of those companys. Update: Company reached out and fixed the problem. Turns out it was the external power supply.
