Pixio PX277 Prime Review | INSANE Value!

[@GregSalazar]

I loved this monitor so much that I set up two of them in my office for my personal gaming/editing rig! What do you think of its value? And which panel should we review next? As always, thanks for watching!

[@discaused]

i want it but im not made of budget money

[@zackmandarino1021]

pixio makes a great product hands down best value monitors out there. i bought the px278 personally 1440p 144 hz tn panel for $279 as the px277 was 399 still when i bought mine. for a tn panel the p278 surprised me of course not the greatest color but pretty damn good for gaming even hdr support on a tn panel which once again not the best but when its on look good. wish the px277 was 329 when i was buying a monitor a few months ago.

It's that old saying of "you get what you pay for". This isn't cheap, but it's not expensive. If you're a realist, and your budget is more price to performance based, then these are ideal.

[@mickj85]

You don't get $600 performance by paying $300 is what I'm saying (unless it's a sale, or has been stolen). This seems like a good monitor for it's price

The joystick-style navigation is certainly the best way to navigate an OSD. It's great to not have to feel around and hope you're pressing the right buttons. And this does look like a great value for the specs. 1440p really is the sweet spot for gaming, I think 4K is really more for video editors and people who need more screen real estate at this point

Nice Video. I purchased this model after owning the Pixio 277H. Unfortunately the backlight bleed was a little too much to bare. I ended up purchasing the AORUS FI27Q-P instead (on sale) I lucked out and won the panel lottery as it's perfect. I still think Pixio is one of the best value brands.

[@thecowtamer]

Thanks for the review and just was able to grab one of these off amazon for $220 which i think was a steal

The black and white test is enough for checking for dead/stuck pixel. It's ultra rare that they would show up in other background colours and if they do, they aren't noticeable in normal usage even if you look for them.

[@donnikubbitz2146]

I got a Pixio PX329 32" 165Hz 2560X1440 monitor for $300 about a yr ago. Great price for a very decent monitor. It's been at that price for about 2 yrs now. The bottoms of the stand are very sharp and scratched up some wood furniture quite nicely even with a bit of weight absorbed by my lifting a bit. I haven't checked mine for backlight in a while but it had almost none and it was very thin toward the frame if I remember correctly.

[@fanboiahoy260]

10:30 What happened to your hand?

[@Chris123NT]

I just got 3 of these and I absolutely love them (259 a piece on amazon at time of this writing). Bit of backlight bleed but nothing too major, put them on my triple monitor mount and they work great. Honestly for the price these things can't be beat. And this is the first time I've ever bought a trio of displays and had zero dead/stuck pixels. In the past I had the WORST luck with that. So I finally have a trio of displays manufactured same day, same batch, so they color match out of the box :D.

1:42 that doesn't suck, I see that as a good thing because it's much easier to replace that brick than an internal monitor psu.

@@GregSalazar they don't die that quickly. I've had lcd monitors from the 2005 era have their psu die and I still have one of those monitors left that has an external brick, it's the second one as the first died a year ago. Certainly not modern monitors I'm talking about but these modern one's will face the same issue in about 10-15 years or so, and being budget oriented I see this as a plus. I do understand why you wouldn't like a big lump like that on your desk, but you can hide it.

[@VenomousTeddy]

Is it true 1MS response time? Or is it similar to the LG ultragear where you can increase response time to 1ms with severe ghosting?

Never going to get true 1ms on any IPS panel, Forget the marketing BS.

Typical ips panel will average 4-6ms time. Unless you use those crazy overdrive settings which makes stuff worse

Here in the UK there is a budget brand called EG that popped up not too long ago, and their value is pretty incredible. They have a model with similar spec to this, 144hz, 1440p, 1ms response time, 27 inch display at around £220 ($300ish) give or take £10. It's also Freesync, and G-Sync compatible (unofficially). The only difference really is that it's TN instead of IPS; but from personal experience the viewing angles on it are great.

I bought a Pixio Prime 7 hoping it was going to be good for the value. I can assure you I was not disappointed! The colors were vibrant and a crisp picture.

One thing that always bothers me, about any flat panel monitor, is the whole "Hey look how thin our bezels are" but then you get a black border that defeats the object anyway. Yes it's more aesthetically pleasing but it's not like it enables the display to go (almost) right to the edge anyway.
