- Jonathan Hensley2023-03-04Good value for the money
Pros: Does what a 1080p screen should. No issues getting it to run at the advertised refresh rates, two HDMI and two DP inputs. Seems like decent color quality. No dead pixels, and I love the thin bezel. No extra frills, decent specs. Cons: Pictures on Amazon for it are slightly out of date since it doesn't show the correct inputs on the revision I received. Power supply is a barrel connector with a wall adapter at the end, and the total length is ~1 meter. Personally I am neither a fan of the wall adapter nor the short lenght, I prefer a standard cable with the necessary transformer either in the screen housing (if possible) or a box inline with the cable (ex. standard laptop power adapter) so it can more easily fit with power strips/surge protector. A 2m total length would give more reasonable flexibility. Also, the labeling on the inputs (and specs) advertise DisplayPort 1.4, but they include a DisplayPort 1.2 cable. It works for what I need it for, but why the disparity? No HDMI cable included, but those are quite readily available...but it can be annoying when one is not in the box.

I use this mostly for programming in a well lit room. The small size makes 1080 text look as crisp as any 4K monitor. Compared to my MacBook Pro, I can see some backlight bleeding, but, it's not unbearable. As to color reproduction - I'd say it rivals my Samsung 27" 4K Monitor My biggest complaint is the button to get to the menu. The button has 4 positions: up, neutral, down, in. Pressing up and down is super easy. Pressing in, it seems hit or miss. If there's even the slightest up or down movement, the "IN" movement seems to get over-ridden and the menu item up or down gets highlighted (but not selected) After some practice, it's easier to navigate. The second complaint is the power cord is REALLY short - maybe 4 or 5 feet. and finding a USB-A to USB-C cable is pretty hard. Luckily, my power strip is right below my desk, so, I don't have any issues, but, just something to consider. THE GOOD They provide a Micro-HDMI cable that is truly awesome. I mean, it's really good quality, and not stiff. Again, the color is REALLY good for a monitor this cheap. It's as good as a $300 Samsung, but I have a $500 LG that looks way better. But again, it's about 4x's the cost. The case turns into a stand and it's really good. It's the perfect angle for working, it doesn't take up a lot of desk space, and the case it soft. I trust this case to protect my screen. OVERALL I'm happy with my purchase and my buy another one. The bad, are not bad enough to NOT buy if you need a small monitor for programming and need more desk space. It also works perfect if you want to hook an AppleTV up to it to watch something while traveling. The included cables are good quality, the case protects the monitor amply, and the monitor is small enough to fit into a laptop backpack with a 13" MacBook pro, and both chargers and not be too big or bulky
- Ducky2024-06-10Incredible price for a great monitor
165 hz is incredibly smoother than 60 - 165 is noticeably smoother than 144, too picture quality is good (it is 1080p) colors are fantastic viewing angles are perfect hardly any ghosting one con is the monitor stand gets in the way of the mouse, but it's ok cause you can swivel the stand sort of away the stand has good adjustments i was worried 24" was gonna be too small to enjoy gaming with coming from a 27 inch, but you really do just get used to it yeah, it's awesome
- D. Goolsby2023-07-14Despite the 4-star rating, this is a great bang for the buck display
I needed a new display. Only having a RTX 3060, I was going to stick with 1920x1080 and 24 inches. I spent quite amount of time looking for a display that had everything I wanted in it, mainly the res, size, and being height adjustable were deal breakers, and ideally wanted speakers and pivoting. I preferred IPS but VA wasn't totally out of the question. I knew the Monitors Unboxed YouTube channel seemed to like Pixios somewhat for this range and they tested fairly well, so I looked at them but was disappointed their recommended PX248 Prime Advanced didn't have height adjustment. Purely by chance I looked at the Pixio product page and saw the PX248 Pro listed, I hadn't seen this model listed when I searched for 24" 1080 displays on Amazon. I found it by searching by name and was happy to see it ticked all the boxes. Even better, I waited another week and Pixio had a sale, making the PX248 Pro only $135! So that sealed the deal and I ordered. The stand for the display seems very sturdy, made of metal with plastic covering. Well made for the price. The package included a 1.5m (nearly 5 feet) DP cable (I ended up ordering my own because I wanted just a little more cable) and uses a "wall wart" type AC adapter for power. You might have to plan for that if you don't have the free space for an adapter, though it was fine for me. The screen arrived with zero pixel defects. The red seems a tad strong, I adjusted it down a little for me, but the colors look good. The cons - a few things kept it from me giving it a 5 star. The speakers are terrible. My previous display had speakers and I used them all the time, they sounded pretty decent. These ones, I'd have to say barely usable. Fine for system noises, but not so much media. So I'm having to pull out an old pair of good speakers from retirement to use again. The screen does have some light bleed in the bottom corners, this is what made me consider if I was going to send the display back the most. I've decided it's not something that reminds me it's there, so I can live with it, especially for the price. And don't forget to turn the brightness down after you get it, as usual for tv/displays, it comes nearly maxed. There's a few minor esthetics I'd have liked changed, I'm not crazy with the power light being on the right side of the display and more importantly that it blinks amber when in stand-by (why blinking?? Just make it solid on) and I don't like that there's no dedicated power button. If you want to turn off the display, you have to press and hold the multi-function button for 3ish seconds (the instructions weren't clear on this, just that you could turn it off with it). It's not something I'll need to do often, but once in a long while I may leave the computer on to do something overnight and I want to make sure the display won't turn on. So overall, I'd say a good display for $169, a great one for $135. The PX248 Pro is a good, cheap gaming display. Just don't plan to rely on the speakers.
- hawk67m2023-12-06Great Quality
Got this for my son for his gaming computer, has a high refresh rate, the fps is really good. The picture quality is great 1080p. Easy set up. Comes nicely packed in a red box that protects the screen. The stand isn't a huge round base like alot but a narrow base not taking up alot of room. Comes with hdmi cable for fast setup. Son uses two screens and it works well with the lower 60hz screen. Since this one is 144hz it does make a difference. Great deal from Amazon for $99, I might try to get another one.
- No2024-04-21i got 2
i finally did a gaming set up and got the first one with my old laptop to get a better view when playing a game then getting a full pc i got the second one to do a dule monitor set up. i can defiantly say its well worth the money for the price and the picture quality is verry good and the speakers are good for tv and youtube.
- Izzy2024-03-21Still works like new after 6+ months
Used this for many months and still works very well. I would say this is an affordable and quality option.
- Roberto2023-07-09For the price not a bad monitor.
Bought this on sale for $199.99. For that price it's a bargain with strong performance. Not as smooth as my Asus monitor but way cheaper and was able to pull the full 280hz and it still maintain a quality image. The Asus monitor is just a little smoother with images. I tested it against my Asus both on Overwatch at 280 fps. Asus monitor is closer to the $400 area, but can get it when it goes on sale for a little over $300. So is minimal smoothness and I believe 3 inches in screen size worth the money to some maybe. Overall great budget monitor for someone new to the pc gaming world. Me personally I will stick with Asus and give this one to my wife as she doesn't game as serious as I do. Hope this review was helpful.
- Cliff Henry2024-05-16Good Budget Gaming Monitor
I've been using this monitor for 3 days and it's amazing. The picture quality is clear, there are no ghosting issues, and there is HDR which improves the picture quality of whatever I am watching. I use this monitor on the Xbox Series X and I would recommend it for any console gamers.
- Dante2024-04-25Nice monitor for budget
I got my first one as a gift then bought a second. Great picture but the sound is almost non existent. But in gaming u mostly use headphones anyways. Just wish it had more than one hdmi output i had to buy a switch.
