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

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.

This 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.

Purchased this for a home office. My previous monitored did not like the intel graphics card in my computer. It was blurry. This monitor is clear. Great value!

Color and Contrast have to be tweaked, but this is a nice monitor. Is lasting a long time with no dying pixels or issues. The only gripe I have is the stand is hard to detach, there isnt much adjustment available on it and it wobbles if the monitor is touched.

I bought this screen about 4 years ago, and I must admit I am impressed. It still is awesome quality - HOWEVER, there are some dead pixels in the bottom of my screen. Sceptre is a cheaper quality brand so this is to be expected over time. But all-in-all very nice screen worth the money.

Bought this for my granddaughter since her previous monitor broke. Its bigger and shes a big gamer. She loves it. Good picture quality & big screen

el sonido es malo en la pantalla sin embrago lo demás está bien dos entradas HDMI y una VGA para alternar entre en cpu y la computadora

Pretty standard budget gaming monitor. I originally purchased this to replace a failed Acer monitor, and it performed well. The only complaints that I have is that the backlight is noticeably dim, even after making the necessary adjustments through the easy to modify settings. This dimness is readily apparent when used in a multi-monitor setup. Ive since replaced this unit on my main rig, but continue to use it in my hardware lab, where it performs adequately, and the dimness is not a factor.

That 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)
