Great for Xbox Series X/S

First of all I want to clarify that the version of this monitor I bought was PX278. So keep that in mind, and what I say may only apply to that particular monitor. I bought this monitor for my Xbox Series X and it works great! I was able to get 1440p 120fps on my Xbox simply by turning on 120fps. I've seen a few reviews where people said they can't get 1440p 120fps with their X/S series, but I think most of those reviews were written by people who made the mistake of using an HDMI Connect the cable to the 75 Hz connection. The px278 has a 144Hz port and a 75Hz port, so make sure you connect to the correct port. Also, make sure you're using the Super High Speed HDMI cable that comes with next-gen consoles. Without this, you only get 1080p 60 fps. After that, all you have to do is go to your Xbox settings and adjust them to get the best experience from your Xbox. I would guess that most of this applies to the PS5 as well. Now to quality and image. The stand that comes with the monitor is made of durable metal and fits the monitor very securely (assuming you use the right screwdriver) and the monitor itself feels very solid and sturdy. The resolution looks very impressive, especially for this price range, and 120 fps seems to run very smoothly. Depending on how you play, the monitor can be a bit bright or dark, but you can change the brightness in the settings. You can also change the saturation and contrast of the colors on the screen, making it very easy to make changes if you don't like it. And in case anyone is wondering, I don't think there are settings for color blind people. I was hesitant to get a 120fps monitor because I didn't think it would be much better than 60fps, but you can see the difference. You can't immediately tell 60 fps from 120 fps, but once you start playing FPS or Fortnite games you'll find that you align frames much better than before. So while there isn't much of a visual difference between 60fps and 120fps, it still lets games run smoother and gives you an edge. Overall this is a great monitor and great quality. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great value monitor that will allow you to get the most out of your next (or current) gen console!
