27-inch QHD gaming monitor

The Pixio PX278 Wave Black is a 27-inch Fast IPS display built for competitive gaming at 2560 x 1440 resolution. Its 180 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms GTG response time target players who need fluid motion in fast-paced titles. AMD FreeSync support keeps frame delivery smooth when paired with a compatible graphics card. The 3-sided frameless design suits multi-monitor arrays.

Simple desk setup with standard mounts

The monitor ships with a stand that offers tilt adjustment and a 100 x 100 mm VESA pattern for aftermarket arms or wall brackets. Connectivity includes DisplayPort 1.4 for the full 180 Hz rate and HDMI 2.0 limited to 144 Hz, so cable choice decides the maximum refresh. No drivers are required; the panel is recognised automatically by Windows and Linux. Ensure the graphics card has a free DisplayPort 1.4 output to reach the advertised speed.

Check graphics outputs and desk space

Verify that your GPU provides DisplayPort 1.4 if you want 180 Hz at 1440p, as HDMI 2.0 caps at 144 Hz. The 27-inch 16:9 footprint needs adequate desk depth for the stand or a mounting arm. The 350 cd/m² brightness and 1000:1 contrast suit typical indoor lighting but not HDR workflows. Buyers who want more than 180 Hz or a wider colour volume should look at higher-specification panels.

Questions about this item

Will my graphics card need a specific port to reach the full 180Hz at QHD?

Use the DisplayPort 1.4 connection for 180Hz at 2560 x 1440; HDMI 2.0 is limited to 144Hz at the same resolution.

Does the stand allow height or pivot adjustments, or will I need a separate mount?

The stand provides tilt only; for height, swivel or pivot you will need a VESA-compatible arm or stand.

How much of the DCI-P3 colour space does the panel cover for creative work?

The panel covers 96.5% of DCI-P3 and 135.76% of sRGB, suitable for colour-accurate editing and vibrant gaming.
