27-inch Fast IPS QHD gaming monitor

The Pixio PX278 Wave Mint is a 27-inch Fast IPS display built for competitive gaming and colour-critical work. It delivers a 2560 x 1440 resolution at 180 Hz with a 1 ms GTG response time and AMD FreeSync adaptive sync. The panel covers 96.5 % of DCI-P3 and 135.76 % of sRGB at 350 cd/m² brightness and a 1000:1 contrast ratio.

Connectivity and desk integration

Video inputs include DisplayPort 1.4 for the full 180 Hz and HDMI 2.0 for up to 144 Hz, so the monitor works with current graphics cards and consoles without extra adapters. The three-sided frameless bezel keeps multi-monitor seams thin, while the mint-green cabinet matches the optional mint-coloured shelf, arm and cable accessories for a coordinated setup.

Upgrade path from standard 60 Hz panels

Moving from a typical 60 Hz office monitor removes motion blur and tearing in fast-paced titles and adds the wider DCI-P3 gamut for creative tasks. The jump is worthwhile when your graphics card can push frame rates above 100 fps at 1440p and you want both competitive responsiveness and accurate colour in one screen.

Questions about this item

Will the 180 Hz refresh rate hold up during long sessions or does it throttle?

The panel is specified for 180 Hz over DisplayPort 1.4 and 144 Hz over HDMI 2.0 with no throttling behaviour mentioned.

How loud or hot does the monitor get when it runs all day at 180 Hz?

The specifications list 350 cd/m² brightness and 1000:1 contrast but give no acoustic or thermal figures for sustained use.

Which cables and ports do I already need to hit 2560 x 1440 at 180 Hz?

A DisplayPort 1.4 cable and a GPU with a DP 1.4 output are required; HDMI 2.0 is limited to 144 Hz at this resolution.
