## Summary

The video is an unboxing and multi-day review of the Pixio PX277 Prime Neo, a 27-inch 2K 180Hz IPS gaming monitor priced just over $200. The reviewer tests it on both a Windows PC and a PlayStation 5, covering the design, ports, assembly, gaming performance, and PS5's 1440p/120Hz support, and ultimately finds no meaningful negatives.

### Key Points

performs all righty guys I've now had the opportunity to have used this monitor for the past several days gaming on it using my PlayStation 5 and even doing work rated or leisure activities on my Windows PC and I wanted to share
with you guys My overall thoughts regarding this display based on the experience that I had so for starters while I was gaming the speed and responsiveness of this display was exceptional but it just didn't stop
exceptional but it just didn't stop there because I was so blown away at the there because I was so blown away at the vibrancy and saturation of the colors on this display I honestly had no complaints in the picture quality that I
was seeing from game to game using this display if you're someone that's concerned about blooming or light bleeding on your monitor I didn't notice needing to adjust the settings on the display there's this little knob di in
the back that you just press once and this control di depending on which way you flip it you can access your input settings your brightness and then most importantly your overall monitor settings this is also the area where you
can turn on adaptive sync so in the case you start running into screen tearing all over the place while you're Ging ging this setting will keep that in check you can also turn on HDR here enable crosshairs your volume adjustment
is here as well because you can play your audio through the speakers that this monitor has now I will say that these speakers aren't the loudest but these speakers aren't the loudest but here take a
tow well done more fun [Applause] other monitors within this price range sometimes don't even have speakers that
you can use but of course as an added bonus you can plug in your headphones into this monitor as we showed earlier in the video on the PlayStation 5 I was able to enable 1440p support and play my games up to a 120 Herz resolution on
this display and boy did I enjoy it once you go 120 you can never go back so all in all guys I think this is an outstanding monitor to pick up you can't highlights that I was able to put together for it and there's not a
negative one on here I really couldn't think of one while doing this like the think of one while doing this like the price is too good you get 2K quality 120 plus Hertz colors are great you can avoid screen tearing there was literally
nothing I could find to not love about this display and I really tried which is why this monitor is going to be a staple in my setup moving forward if you guys put an affiliate Link in the description below thank you guys so much for staying
