About this product
The Pixio PXC278 Wave is a 27-inch curved gaming monitor with a 1500R curvature, 1440p resolution, and 180Hz refresh rate. It uses a Fast VA panel with 1ms GTG response time, 350 cd/m² brightness, and a high 5000:1 contrast ratio for deep blacks. Connectivity includes DisplayPort and HDMI 2.0. Features include Adaptive-Sync, a headphone jack, tilt adjustment, and a widescreen format.
Our take
The PXC278 Wave's VA panel delivers impressive contrast with rich blacks, making games look more immersive. The 1500R curve wraps around nicely, and the 180Hz refresh rate keeps motion smooth. At 350 nits, brightness is adequate. I miss having built-in speakers, and the stand only tilts—no height adjustment. For immersive single-player games, the deep contrast is a major win, but esports enthusiasts may prefer faster pixel response.
