This monitor has blown my mind to pieces. The 165hv refresh rate while I’m playing games really is noticeable. The reason why I have given this 4 stars is because the display cable that came with the monitor was complete trash. The screen would go black and would have white specks on it. Besides the faulty cable , the monitor itself is incredible. Flawless color, no tearing or dead pixels. I very highly recommend this monitor for the price. Just make sure you have a spare hdmi cable just in case.

Bought 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.

1st things 1st, have been an Amazon customer for more than 15 years and this may be my first review. Why? Because I took a chance on this fairly unknown monitor and wanted to inform future potential buyers. So the first one arrived DOA, no physical damage, just a scrambled screen. Amazon had a replacement in my hands two days later and wow...going from a 24 inch 1080p monitor to this monster was a huge jump. Running 2xGTX970 in SLI and saw about a 20fps hit from 1080 to 1440p (Currently 80fps on BF V High settings). - No dead pixels - Fairly easy set up for anyone with half a brain (instructions are almost worthless) - Used an Ivanksy DP cable as others have said the included one was trash, be careful not to strip the small screws in the stand - 165hz causes some heavy ghosting in text, but not very noticeable in game (BF V), dropped it to 144hz and text is better -Color and contrast is much better than my ASUS VG248QE (TN) - OSD is fine, gets er done - Bezel is small but not the smallest, no gamer type aesthetics (A good thing) I read a bunch of reviews of people with these elite standards (Haters) and as someone who games regularly, works occasionally, this monitor more than serves my purpose. I dont need some response time only a sensor can recognize or professional colors that I would never notice.So after only 3 days it seems like a real win. I will update this review if I have any issues in the future.

Have to say I was skeptical. This is not a Korean monitor if anyone is wondering. It’s a company in Cali but still small nonetheless. When I got the packaging open I was pleased to see the amount of foam protecting my monitor. The monitor stand while not adjustable is completely solid and made of metal I did not expect this and was absolutely impressed because I didn’t even get a metal stand for my 700 dollar ultrawide that’s in my bedroom. Got everything put together with the bolts provided which are very easy to work with. Now came the moment of truth turning the monitor on was kind of a moment I was fearing because you never know what kind of problems can happen with the panel. Turned my computer on and the monitor fired right up. I let out a sigh of relief because Everything was perfect. No dead pixels. No uneven backlighting. No strobing. No problems! I am absolutely shocked and pleased with this purchase. I can’t belive this kind of quality that beat out lg and Samsung (both are high dollar past purchases for me) came from a small company in Cali. Good job pixio team. You built a great product and you just earned a repeat buyer.

Arrived 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.

If you are going to use a monitor stand, you should know that this monitor has the attachment in the lower part of the monitor. To better explain: Imagine a rectangle representing the monitor. In the bottom-center area, draw a comparable smaller rectangle. On each corner of this smaller rectangle is where you would fasten screws to use a monitor stand, meaning that the monitor might seems to be too elevated than expected.

This is a really good monitor for what it costs. Very fast and seems to have good color accuracy. Menu navigation and power button leave a decent amount to be desired along with the power cord being WAY shorter than it should be. Despite these issues it’s a great monitor and would highly recommend. If the monitor has trouble connecting to DisplayPort at all, I found that reconnecting power to the monitor helped sometimes.

I’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.

After 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.

Overall 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.
