Sceptre 27-Inch FHD LED Gaming Monitor 75Hz 2X HDMI VGA Build-in Speakers, Ultra Slim Metal Black

My wife works from home and wanted a larger monitor. This is a great monitor for the price and she loves it.

I 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!

I can not adjust the brightness

Ive only had the monitor for a day but Im happy with the purchase. I initially tried to cancel the order but the seller had already shipped. I figured I would give it a try and send it back if it wasnt up to spec. Im coming from a 12 year old Samsung T260HD monitor that is 25.5 inches, 1920x1200 @60hz. This was top of the line at the time and paid $329 while this was one was only $109. The old monitor had screen tearing in games (no g-sync or freesync) and FPS play wasnt ideal, especially in COD Warzone. If youve never played on a higher refresh rate monitor before, it makes a difference. I tried overclocking the monitor to 85hz and then 80hz but neither took so I tried out the rated spec of 75hz with freesync and let me say.. I could notice the difference right away and even picked up my first Warzone Solo victory. Aiming was much more smooth and I could keep my reticle glued on other players. If youre using this for light gaming and youre coming from a 60hz panel, youll be pleasantly surprised. This appears to be a TN panel because the viewing angles are poor. Theyre completely fine when viewed straight ahead - since this is being used as a computer monitor, its not a problem for me but buyer beware. No dead pixels or edge bleeding to speak of. Blacks arent super dark but decent and the factory setting was ok as far as brightness and contrast was concerned. I configured to my liking and Im satisfied. The stand is wobbly as others have stated and I didnt even bother with speakers, nor should you. Im not expecting this thing to last but Im hoping to get 2-3 years out of it. I was looking to get a higher refresh rate monitor (144-165hz) but after doing research, you cant take advantage of the higher refresh rate unless your frames per second average is just as high (144+fps). With a Ryzen 5 2600 and an aging Rx 570, Im getting an average of 75fps in COD Warzone with the settings at high. In this case, the monitor is a perfect pairing for the 75hz refresh rate. In order to take advantage of the higher refresh rate you will need to open up your AMD or Nvidia software and create a profile that is set @75hz. Once this is created, go into display settings on your computer -> advanced settings -> monitor and then select the new 75hz profile from the drop down. Last, you will need to enable freesync from the monitor control panel (its in the menu options) and then enable it in the AMD software (not sure about Nvidia). If youre lucky, you may be able to overclock the monitor to a higher refresh rate. Just create a profile for 80 or 85hz, select it in display settings and see if it takes. If it doesnt, the monitor will revert back to the previous refresh rate in 10 seconds. From what Ive read, this doesnt harm your monitor and it depends on the manufacturer as to how far you can overclock it. Dont expect much from this panel, however. All-in-all, its an upgrade for me in just about every way. Some people say a 27 screen at 1080p for gaming isnt ideal. I beg to differ. The pixel density isnt superb by any means but I didnt notice any difference from a slightly smaller screen (25.5 vs 27) and less pixels (old monitor was 1920x1200). If I had to choose, Id take the extra real-estate over pixel density which I think only amounts to 6ppi. Theres pixel density calculators out there if youre curious. If you can afford it and your GPU/CPU can achieve 100+fps, I would go with a higher refresh rate monitor. For lower end specs, general use or a second monitor and for the low price, I dont see why not.

speakers are cheap

I just got into the realm of building a PC and a friend recommended this to me as a starter monitor. I read a lot of reviews saying it came damaged, or that it was broken, or had a faulty base. My monitor came in great condition and was packaged properly. The base to the monitor is kind of wobbly so keep that in mind but as long as youre not slamming on your desk consistently you should be okay. Screen quality is great and I havent seen any dead pixels so I feel its a great starter monitor for gaming or anyone getting into the PC world

Best bang for the buck at this size. Played COD: MW2 on this and could barely tell a difference compared to my BENQ Gaming monitors. Speaker sound isnt the greatest, but most people use external speakers or headsets these days.

ORIGINALLY 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.

I 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.

I just hooked this up after a black friday sale. Things Ive noticed. (no dead pixels for me). Pros - its definitely a large improvement vs the 24 monitor I was using before. - I verified on blankwebsite.com - the yellowish light to get rid of blue light is nice. Its a lot easier on the eyes. Cons - The stand is extremely cheap. It feels like if my cats bump it it will tip over and brake. Also you cant adjust the angle of the monitor on the stand (it is a really cheap flimsy stand). This is probably a deal breaker for me. - It has a wallwart rather than a regular plug which could make it difficult for fitting into a powersupply or outlet. - theres a really annoying flashing blue light whenever your computer isnt sending signal to it. In the dark its really annoying.
