piXL CM215F17E 21.5" Full HD IPS Monitor 120Hz 1ms

The piXL CM215F17E 21.5" Full HD IPS Monitor 120Hz 1ms is a compact, affordable display suited to home workers, students and casual gamers who want a step up from basic 60Hz screens without a significant outlay. Its IPS panel delivers accurate colour across a wide viewing angle, while the 120Hz refresh rate (enabled via overclock) and 1ms response time noticeably reduce motion blur compared to standard office monitors. HDMI and VGA outputs mean it connects to both modern and older machines with no adapters needed.

• IPS panel with 16.7 million colours — The IPS panel technology provides consistent colour accuracy and wide viewing angles, making it comfortable for extended work sessions and multimedia use.
• 120Hz refresh rate via overclock — With overclock enabled, the display runs at 120Hz — twice the rate of a standard monitor — delivering visibly smoother motion in fast-paced content and everyday scrolling.
• 1ms response time reduces blur — The 1ms response time minimises ghosting and motion blur, making it a practical choice for casual gaming and fast video content.
• Ultra-narrow bezel suits multi-monitor use — The slim bezel design minimises the gap between screens, making it straightforward to pair two units side by side for a wider workspace.
• VESA 100×100mm mount support — The 100×100mm VESA pattern allows it to be mounted on a compatible arm or wall bracket, freeing up desk space.
• Includes HDMI cable in the box — An HDMI cable is included alongside the power cord, so it can be connected and running straight out of the box without sourcing additional accessories.

• ✓ Connects to any device with a standard HDMI output via the included HDMI 1.4 port.
• ✓ Connects to older PCs and laptops with a VGA output via the built-in VGA port.
• ✓ VESA 100×100mm pattern is compatible with standard monitor arms and wall mounts.
• Note: The 120Hz refresh rate requires overclock mode to be enabled in the monitor's on-screen display; the default rate without overclock may be lower.
• ✗ Does not include a DisplayPort connector — devices that require DisplayPort will need an adapter not included in the box.
• ✗ Does not include a USB hub — there are no USB ports on the monitor itself.

Best for:

• Home office and study use — the Full HD IPS panel and slim bezel keep text sharp and colours consistent for long working or study sessions.
• Casual and everyday gaming — the 120Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time provide a noticeably smoother experience than a standard 60Hz display at this screen size.
• Multi-monitor setups on a budget — the ultra-narrow bezel and VESA mount support make it easy and affordable to run two units together.
• Users with legacy PCs — the VGA port alongside HDMI means it works with older desktops and laptops that lack modern video outputs.
• Space-conscious desks — at 3.3 kg gross weight and with a tiltable stand, it is straightforward to position and reposition without heavy lifting.

Trade-offs:

• Colour-critical creative work — no colour gamut figure (sRGB or DCI-P3 coverage) is specified in the product record, so professionals who require verified colour accuracy should look for a monitor with published gamut coverage data.
• Competitive high-refresh-rate gaming — 120Hz is achieved only with overclock enabled, and the HDMI 1.4 port limits bandwidth compared to DisplayPort connections used by higher-tier gaming monitors.
• Very bright environments — at 250 cd/m² brightness, the display may be harder to read in strongly lit rooms or against direct sunlight compared to monitors with higher brightness ratings.
• Users needing height or pivot adjustment — the stand supports tilt only; height adjustment and portrait pivot are not available.
