What Buyers Say
Pixio PX278 Wave PX278WAVEB 27" Black 2024
88 out of 100 medium confidence 11 reviews
Users are highly satisfied with this Pixio monitor, praising its vibrant colors, sturdy metal stand, and excellent 120Hz+ refresh rate for smooth gaming. The price-to-quality ratio is consistently highlighted as outstanding. However, a few minor issues recur: built-in speakers are described as weak, color calibration can seem dull out of the box, and a couple of dead pixels were noted in one unit. Setup is generally easy, though the included display cables are sometimes considered too short.
