> 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 dayI had to go out and buy a new display port cable, because the one that came with the laptop didnt work. Annoying. The picture quality is great, otherwise.

> 3 dayBought this to use vertically as a 3rd monitor. Had some trouble setting up the inputs the way I wanted (was not getting a signal when connecting through an HP laptop dock, to KVM, to monitor. Probably an issue with the dock, not the monitor) so I am switching the inputs manually. I did notice one dead pixel on the monitor I got which isn’t a big deal to me as a 3rd monitor but if it was my main gaming monitor would find it more annoying. This is a huge, cheap, monitor with a solid frame rate. Will serve your needs well if you are trying to game on a lower end graphics card.

> 3 dayThis is a great monitor but the speakers could be better. Fortunately I use a soundbar so I don’t have to worry but if you are looking to buy keep in mind.
