> 24 hourAs the review headline says, excellent deal. A steal at $150 for a 27 monitor with a decent screen suitable for office work and gaming. The extra size allows me more multitasking capability, which I need for work. And its always good to game on a bigger screen. A good buy. Recommended. (Plus, the 2 HDMI ports are a bonus, since many monitors come with only one.)

> 24 hourThat frickin blinking blue light. I made the mistake of getting this for my office, which also happens to be in my bedroom. When the computer its connected to has been idle for some period of time, the monitor starts blinking this unbelievably bright blue light that can only be disabled by unplugging the monitor from the wall. Maddening! I did find a partial fix - in the settings, you can make it so the blue light stops blinking after 30 minutes - but no less. So if you use it before bed, you need to unplug it from the wall, or wait the 30 minutes. All this to say, dont get this monitor if youre going to be sleeping in the same room (unless you love blinking blue lights ya frickin weirdo)

> 24 hourDecent monitor for the price but had to send back. Had a stuck pixel in the center of the screen that is very noticeable on a white screen. Buttons being on the back of the monitor are an odd placement and have to blindly press around to adjust monitor settings or turn monitor off. Stand is very wobbly left to right . Being a 1080p on a 27 picture quality isnt very crisp. No Display Port connection if you have a newer graphics card that supports it. The on board speakers are very tinny and not even usable.

> 24 hourThis monitor is hard to love due to some glaring issues with its quality control. That being said, its a budget conscious monitor that has a MSRP of $129.99 so you have to be realistic with your expectations. Ill go through my experience for you from start to finish. The Pros - It is 75hz refresh rate capable. 5ms response time for those who need it. Its light weight and very thin. (Great for mounting) It has 2 HDMI connectors. The version that I got uses a 12V DC port (Useful for cable management). Built in speakers a plus if you have limited space to work with. (Like using the monitor at a work station / terminal) The Cons - Out of 2 ordered, 1 had a dead pixel. The speakers are not only muffled, but extremely quiet. Stand is extremely light weight for a 27 inch monitor. 12V 3A AC/DC adapter looks really suspect (like the ones you get with LED strips) and probably will fail over time. VESA specs are incorrect in the manual. (They recommend M4 12mm screws). 1 year only warranty that requires you to send it back to them on your dime for service. My biggest gripe so far (dead pixel or not) is that the VESA mounting holes on the rear of the monitor are extremely shallow. I needed to special order a set of M4 8mm screws in order to get it to attach to one of my dual monitor brackets. VESA standards list 100 x 100 hole patterns to use a standard M4 10mm screw. My 8mm screws that I ordered barely fit into my bracket with a washer. I would assume the holes drilled in the monitor for the screws are 4mm or 5mm deep at best. The manual recommends using 12mm M4 screws! That would leave about 8mm or 7mm jutting out in the air. Most VESA mounting hardware will only include 10mm, 12mm and 25mm M4 screws for 100 x 100 hole patterns. So in case you want to mount this monitor to any bracket, make sure to have some shorter M4 screw sizes ready. Negatives aside, its an extremely attractive monitor for the home office or the kids (teenager or college bound). You can forgive a lot of the imperfections if this is going to be attached to something you dont stare at constantly. Probably also good for grass roots e-sports tournament organizers who need a larger screen real estate but dont want to break the bank and arent too worried about ultra quality. 5ms response time and 75hz refresh rate is good for most games except ultra competitive FPS. This is going to be a dynamic review in that I will update my experience as I own the monitor longer. I have a replacement coming from Amazon for the dead pixel afflicted one I got initially and well see how that goes. Sceptres policy on dead pixels is that they need 5 or more to be considered defective enough for warranty service. Worst yet, you have to ship the item back to them at your expense. So I highly recommend while youre in the Amazon 30 day return window to put the monitor through its paces and see if its the right one for you without any major problems. Once its out of that window, youll be at the mercy of Sceptres RMA department and will probably need to pay $22 bucks (or more) to send it back to fix a $129.99 (or less) monitor.

> 24 hourThe power supply for this is small and has a wall wart. this does not work well if you are mounting this as the cable is short and you is is very particular to this monitor so it will be hard to replace.
