Added a KVM switch to use with both my personal and work laptops. Mounted to a VESA wall mount and a separate speaker. Would buy it again. Love having the real estate of a larger monitor. Review: A few years ago I bought a Pixio PX275h (95hz) and as I was needed a second monitor I just bought a Pixio PX278 Wave. The new display is faster with a better color accuracy. Gaming is fully satisfying. Professional tasks are fine a the color space is good. The weak points are: Brightness of the PX278 Wave is lower than with the PX275h. I had to boost the output brightness of the graphic card! VESA mounting of the PX278 Wave is worst than those of the PX275h. There is the need of a VESA adapter that is delivered with the screen. But it does bring enough clearance for standard VESA screw and I has to order shorter ones. This is really a bad design: the PX275h was VESA mounted without any adapter. ## Features - UNLEASH THE POWER OF 180HZ REFRESH RATE- Enjoy fluid on-screen action with minimal motion blur, giving you the split-second advantage in fast-paced games. - LIGHTNING-FAST 1MS RESPONSE TIME - See your actions come to life instantly with a remarkable 1ms response time.
