cool killer
13-06-2025Very janky monitor, stand is tilted at an angle that makes the monitor look like it’s about to fall on your face. Sound quality is horrible, if you’re buying the monitor for its speakers just don’t (don’t know why anyone would but…). Monitor is just very mid but gets the job done ig. Planning on upgrading soon.

> 3 dayExtremely pleased. Ive owned more expensive monitors in the past, but never thought much of higher framerates. Guess what? I was wrong! Long time gamer (first was a Magnavox Odyssey in the 70s before the Atari 2600) and WOW, my gaming went through the roof in terms of FPS based games like Insurgency Sandstorm and Hell Let Loose. Whereas I was at the top of the leaderboards before, this made my response time amazingly faster (making me feel younger too, lol). Seriously, less eye fatigue (I can go 24 hours looking at a screen) and use it for editing photos too which right out of the box is VERY calibrated. I also put a bias light behind my monitor (you should too) as it makes the blacks darker, colors more vivid, and eliminates eye strain at night or when the monitor shifts from light to dark, like with movies or gaming. I got this one on sale so it was a NO BRAINER! Previous purchase was the 25 version which I wound up giving to my son for college as it fit his small desk space in his first year dorm. One hot pixel almost center screen, stuck on green. doesnt bother me 80% of the time, even while editing. I tried various fixes but havent used the monitor enough to care really (I use it a lot, just not in the capacity that it affects me as other monitor issues have like the dead ant that got stuck behind my laptop screen and looks like a large dust flake, lol). The 25 had NO pixel issues. Quality on Sceptre monitors has been SUPERB. The supplied DP cable is quality and immediately allows me to sync up to 165Hz automatically. Monitor was discovered each and every time by my Win 10 and NVidia card set-up. I have the Freesync setting on and dont know if it makes a difference, and also some kind of sharpening enhancement as I will say, the 25 was definitely different in the way Hell Let Loose looked, right out of the box. This looked... softer(?) and not as crisp, until I turned on these two settings and then, BAM!, perfect!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PURCHASING THIS MONITOR!

Greater than one weekGot this on a lightning deal and for the price i paid i can live with the annoyances. Pros: 165hz for gaming (and for just life in general, i can’t go back to 60hz my eyes won’t let me) Borderless frame 1x dp, 3x hdmi ports (1x 2.0, 2x 1.4) Mine had no dead pixels (for now) Standard color/brightness controls Vesa mount Cheap Cons: Backlight bleed kinda bad (see photo) but when viewing content it’s barely noticeable. Controls on the back hard to reach and figure out what button does what Neutral: Borderless design makes fragile frame

> 3 dayMonitor is great so far,but beware the power supply. First week and mine is over heating. Will update if the new power supply works. -update- new power supply did not correct the issue. Monitor would not run anything past 60 hrtz I had to return it. Most likely just a defective monitor but I went with something else.

> 3 dayI usually dont write reviews but this monitor is incredible. Especially if you usually have bad luck with too good to be true well this is definitely too good and its definitely true. This is such a great monitor and its crisp its quick and for that price Spectre is underselling it I think. In my opinion Especially if you dont want to drop 400 bucks on some 4k monitor this is absolutely great. Best monitor Ive ever owned.

> 3 dayCompany extended my WFH schedule so I’ll have to spend several weeks more working remotely, and figured it is really time to get an extra monitor for my work laptop extended screen and hopefully for my gaming PC upgrade as well. I was particularly looking for a 4K/QHD monitor since I do a lot of Excels so I gain more cells with higher resolution. However I was told by my roommate that for 27” screen size, going above 1080p doesn’t make much of a difference. Well guess she’s right, here I am, for the same price range of a regular 27” QHD 60hz monitor, with a Sceptre 1080p 27” 165hz gaming monitor 1. My roommate is definitely right, for 27” a 1080p monitor is way enough for the clarity and sharpness. Her 27” 4K monitor does show more contents but all letters and characters are just too small in return 2. A DisplayPort cable is included instead of a regular HDMI one. Nice now I can connect it with my work laptop via HDMI and my gaming PC via DP, one button switch to work and one more button to games, with no more plugging and unplugging 3. The screen itself is very impressive in the slim bezel chasis, no dead pixels or so, native 165hz, fast response time 1ms, rich menu customization and more. Basically it has everything I need to be a work/play 2-in-1, even in Excel/Outlook where most of the pure white color background is used, the screen displays the true colors needed. The only thing is you get 144hz only with HDMI, so make sure DP is used if you want to maximize the refresh rate 4. Monitor comes with AMD FreeSync Premium certified, seems to be an upgraded standard of AMD FreeSync. Wish it could do HDR as well, will find out 5. Monitor also comes equipped with speakers built-in, pretty amazing. I’ll say for gaming, stick to your over-the-ear headphones and for working where you might to be focus with some environment noise, speaker output might be something you need in certain scenarios so speakers are definitely a plus Overall this is a very nice gaming monitor, even for me half work and half gaming. Will definitely recommend to my friends and might buy a second one to do dual monitor setup to utilize company’s WFH reimbursement policy. Cheers.

> 3 daySo I’ve been a gamer for most of my life. I’ve always been on 60HZ (well 30HZ as well) as I’m a console and pc gamer. But I have to say. 165HZ is a HUUUUGE UPGRADE from 60. I gotta say that this monitor is just great and does well in any scenario. It’s big enough for me and it’s so much better then 60HZ. would reccomend
