> 3 dayI purchased 2 of the Sceptre 27 monitors as upgrades to the 32 inch Samsung TVs I was using. First of all the reason for a change was that the 32s were just a bit too big for how close I sit to my monitors, (about 24-30 inches away.) Secondly, not even being the top of the line TVs they had a poor refresh rate which resulted in a lot of screen tearing. After getting in my 2 new monitors and setting them up with the provided DP cable I turned everything on and went to Youtube for sound check. After playing 9 different songs to check different sound settings, playing with NVIDIA sound settings and windows sound settings I found that - 1. There is no base sound at all 2. Volume turned up to 100% in all available settings = still not being able to hear what was playing from only 24-30 inches away if there was any background noise at all. I got into a chat with tech support who gave me a very specific Taylor Swift video to play then record then send to them via email. After doing so they stated that the sound quality I was receiving was the expected level for these monitors and that I shouldnt expect much from speakers that have no base channel and only getting 2 watts of power. I personally found this very disappointing since the advertised sound quality was, and I quote, -Build-in Speakers -Perfectly suited to work & gaming settings, built-in speakers deliver robust & smooth audio while saving space on your desk. As stated on their product sales page from the Amazon website. There is absolutely nothing even coming close to robust from the sound quality. For a veteran with some hearing loss it is absolutely impossible to justify the sound quality given by these speakers to rate anything higher than extremely poor. As for the picture quality, I find nothing wrong in that department.

Greater than one weekThe picture quality on this monitor is beautiful. It has a simple and sleek design, which I like. But for me the speakers are so quiet on full volume that I cant even hear my game play up close. It makes me wish I didnt buy this monitor and payed a few more dollars for better speakers. When I tried to set up external speakers, it didnt work. I tried every possible setting on my console and the monitor and still nothing. I checked to make sure it wasnt the speakers by testing them on another monitor and it worked fine on the other one. I still dont know what to do about the sound.

> 3 dayI really like the monitor, but the main problem is that it came with significant backlight bleed. This was particularly frustrating because there isnt anything you can do about it. Amazon was really good about it, they sent a new one but... this one has just as bad bleed. I would say the monitor is really great if you can get one without the backlight bleed. Ive reached out to Sceptre and it looks like theyre going to fix it. But it would be a five star if I didnt have to go through all this trouble just to get a monitor without giant blots of yellow on the sides.

> 3 dayBought a used one in college, for myself a few years ago. Then another a few months later new because I wanted to match. Then 2 for my office. Then my coworkers loved mine so I got them one and they bought another afterwards. The only thing I can say (bad) about these is the red/blue light on the back of the monito lights up my whole office at night. I have a shiny desk that amplifies the light I think and it looks like I have a hefty alarm system when my pc is asleep! Haha

> 3 dayPicture is great but the internal speakers are terrible. Had to set all volume adjustments at 100% just to barely hear from them. Went back to using my satellite speakers pluged into my PC. Other than the speaker issue the monitor is great.

> 3 dayTitle says it all. I have a macbook air 2020 m1 and the fonts were not clear enough to read. Color was also off and had difficulty adjusting it (if you are looking for photo-editing, may not be the best)
