Button Issues (Again)

Got a new monitor after my old monitor's (Pixio PX277 Prime) control panel joystick stopped working (completely broke/went limp in the socket). The monitor itself works great, and the set up was incredibly easy. If only the buttons on the bottom of the monitor would work. The first two buttons work just fine, I can hear and feel a click when push them and their inputs are fine. The following two are harder to press and work around 60% of the times you press them, but the last one is the real issue. The last button (the power button) literally doesn't work at all. I can push it as many times as I want, and hold it down for however long and it will not work. There's no sound or feeling of a click to indicate that it even works so the only way to completely turn off the monitor is to unplug it. This is unfortunately not the first time I've had a problem with Pixio's choice of control switches on their monitors, and I with they would just use normal buttons.

Damaged

This is my first time purchasing and my monitor came broken, there was a line across the screen when I set it up and everything. I am aware it got damaged during shipping, it’s just very disappointing though since this was my first time buying one. I really hope there can be a solution to this.

Pastel lovers rejoice!

If you love pastels and have been searching for a really good monitor that's also cute the PX278 Wave series is definitely for you. I personally bought this as soon as I saw that it came in a pastel purple and it fits really well with my very pastel set up! It's very easy to set up and the colors are pretty vibrant, and easy to adjust if needed. The 1440 p resolution and 27 inch display is very nice for making art and gaming! I personally do a lot of digital art and I needed a nice monitor that can handle both and not break the bank.
