> 24 hourLove the monitor size, weight, clarity. Only complaint would be the sound - not great volume if you try to use that instead of headphones for meetings. I dont game. I have 2 of these in different sizes that I use for work. The larger size here has been AMAZING!! Its so lightweight that Ive been able to move it around as needed easily, too, when I choose to work in different spaces. My smaller monitor (same brand/style/model except 2 smaller) is older and has had zero issues. The HDMI connected immediately on both.

> 24 hourORIGINALLY COMMENTED THAT I NEVER RECEIVED THE PRODUCT. TRACKING LINK SHOWED IT AS RECEIVED ON 8/8/2022; THIS WAS ALSO THE PROMISED ARRIVAL DATE. SINCE I HADNT RECEIVED IT, I COMMENTED THAT I HAD NOT RECEIVED IT, AND GAVE 1 STAR. NOW, 8/12/2022, ITEM HAS BEEN RECEIVED. SO FAR, QUALITY IS VERY GOOD. NOT HAPPY THAT DELIVERY PROMISE, TRACKING, AND REALITY WERE SO INCONSISTENT.

> 24 hourI bought one of these for the home PC in the kitchen which I share with my wife. She plays some games, but I use it as a monitor-only. I was so impressed I bought a second for my home-office. I had 3 monitors already, but I swapped one out for the Sceptre . I can connect a 2nd PC and I can switch from one to the other with the push of a button. Worth every penny!

> 24 hourI was surprise how sharp and crisp the display quality of these monitors. I purchase two of them (cost factor) so I can have a larger view of my work and play area. They easily mounted onto my new MOUNTUP Dual Monitor Desk Mount, Fully Adjustable Dual Monitor Arm for 2 Max 32 Inch Computer Screens up to 19.8lbs, Dual Monitor Stand Fit Two VESA 75x75&100x100, with C-Clamp and Grommet Base MU0002. Which I purchased at the same time with these monitors. What I really like the most is that it freed up space on my desktop. Granted the monitors also have internal speakers that produce sound generated by my PC, however the speakers these monitors have are not really made to provide proper treble and base so the quality of the sound is not as good as powered speakers. Other than that these are awesome monitors.

> 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 hourFor $139 and 27 inch its a great monitor but as you see in the picture on the left is the sceptre on the right an old V7 the white color is off seems dim no matter how I adjust the settings this was as close as I could get it to match the V7 but its still an off white and not as bright as the V7 but not a deal breaker for me as its just for the home office

> 24 hourJust got the monitor today, turned it on and it’s a line going down the screen that I can’t get rid of. Need a refund or exchange it for a new one

> 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.
