Review on Pixio PX277P 27" FreeSync Esports Monitor - 2560X1440P, Adaptive Sync, Flicker-Free, Frameless Design, Swivel Adjustment, HD Display by Robert Nielsen

Keep in mind that this (partial) review only represents my first impressions. First, this display is great when upgraded from an Acer G226HQL 21.5-inch LED monitor (images show Pixio in photo mode, Acer in graphics mode so monitors can be compared). The ips display is nice and bright even when set to a more subdued and bright fps mode. Negroes are also quite rich. The viewing angles on this thing are amazing. Shows a clear picture no matter where I stand. This display is also very bright. I would say the display is brighter or as bright as Acer's LED bar. As for the HDR setting, I personally don't notice any difference with it on or off. I'll just keep going for now. The bezels are fairly thin, around 1cm, and the build quality is solid. I would rate the polycarbonate plastic used as average quality. Not the best material I felt, but not cheap either. The overall design is eye catching with minimal branding on the front. The stand is solid but not adjustable, but the monitor is VESA mount compatible so you can easily swap it out, as I plan to do in the future. There's no sign of dead pixels either. I did my research before buying from this new unknown brand. I fell in love with their mission. Every review of their products out of about 12 reviews I've looked at has been positive. They deliver high performance products with little or no compromise at a fraction of the cost. Highly recommended. Edit: After extensive use, I had no major doubts about the product. However, I noticed a feature of the product that can be fixed later with a firmware update. For some reason the monitor won't let you switch input and will go to sleep immediately if you unplug the cable you were using between the last time you used it. This can be annoying if you normally use Displayport and move the monitor to another room to use with a device that uses HDMI. You must manually switch the input before moving the monitor to overcome this quirk. But let's face it, most people will only plug in their monitor once and never mess with it again. As for G-Sync compatibility, I haven't seen any issues. Seems to be working great. I tested it with Fortnite, Dauntless, AC: Odyssey and Trover saves the Universe. I was also surprised at how accurate the image was for color comparisons in marketing. I verified this by viewing the image with the worst color accuracy in the example on my Acer and Pixio LED monitors simultaneously. I added an image of this comparison to my review. In summary, this is the best IPS monitor in this price range with a resolution of 1440p and a diagonal of 27 inches. If that's what you're looking for, I can't recommend it highly enough. 95 Hz is an added bonus. Would like to buy another one sometime in the future. 1 year update: I still love this monitor. HDR looks fantastic in games like Destiny 2, although Windows 10 is still pretty unstable with its HDR implementation. If your graphics settings support it, make sure you toggle the default dynamic output from limited to full. difference between day and night. 12-bit color no longer shows up as an option, but it's probably my fault for trying to overclock it. Got a replacement wrist rest which helped my posture a lot and was a worthy upgrade. I would still recommend this monitor to design students who are interested in gaming on the side or vice versa.
