About this product

It features a 1ms response time, FreeSync support, built-in speakers, and slim bezels.

Our take
I picked up the Pixio PX278 Wave refurbished and it's a solid 1440p monitor for the price. The IPS panel gives good colors and viewing angles, and 180Hz is plenty smooth for competitive gaming. Response time feels snappy with no noticeable ghosting. The built-in speakers are basic but usable for casual use. My only gripe is that the stand only tilts—no height adjustment. Also, it's refurbished, so expect possible minor cosmetic blemishes. For under $175, it's a great value for high-refresh 1440p gaming.
