The Pixio PX275h is a 27-inch 2560 x 1440 (QHD) Monitor. It is based on the IPS panel. It covers 100% of the sRGB color gamut and supports true 8-bit color.
The 1440p resolution offers you better image quality and more screen real-estate than a 1080p monitor. The Pixio PX275h is the perfect choice for those looking for an affordable upgrade from the 1080p resolution.
The image quality of this monitor is very good. The colors look vibrant and make images look full of life. The IPS panels are known for their excellent color accuracy so this is not a surprise.
The factory color calibration of this monitor is not the best. Color calibration will improve its image quality by a huge margin.
There are my best color settings for the Pixio PX275h
- Brightness = 30
- Contrast = 50
- DCR = Off
- Gamma = 2.1
- Picture Mode = STANDARD
- Saturation = 50
- Color Temperature = USER
- RED = 47
- GREEN = 46
- BLUE = 48
- Low Blue Light = 0
- FreeSync (Adaptive Sync) = On
These settings should make the image quality much better. Do keep in mind that these settings worked perfectly for me and since every monitor is different, they may not be perfect for you. But for most people, they are more than enough to improve the visual quality of the monitor.
The Pixio PX275h has a contrast ratio of 1000:1. It is the standard for most IPS monitors. You will have crisp-looking images with colors that pop out. It has a brightness level of 350-nits. It is plenty and you will have no issues using it even in a well-lit room. The overall panel uniformity of this monitor is decent.
This monitor has wide and relaxed 178°-degree viewing angles. There will not be any washed-out colors when you view this monitor from different angles, unlike TN panel monitors.
It has an excellent pixel density of 108PPI. You will have crisp-looking images and sharp text. It is also easy on the eyes.
The Pixio PX275h also supports HDR. It is largely hit or miss. I would not recommend you pin hopes on this monitor in terms of HDR. It could have performed much better if it had a better peak brightness.
The monitor we reviewed had no dead pixels on it. There were little IPS glow present towards its corners. It is tolerable and is only visible in dark areas of the game or a movie. IPS glow is present in all IPS monitors and cannot be eliminated. You can try to reduce the brightness to control it.
It has a matte anti-glare coating on it that will handle the reflections that form on it effectively.
Overall, the Pixio PX275h has an impressive image quality. It needs some initial calibration but after that, you don’t have to look back. The only drawback was its lackluster HDR performance. Putting that aside, the Pixio PX275h is a great choice for watching movies, playing games, and everything else in between.
