Greater than one weekPurchased 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!

> 3 day... and its still possible I might, if it fails. However, so far, this monitor is really surpassing my expectations. Its bright, its clear, its 1920x1080 at 75Hz. The speakers work; not loud, minimal bass. Kinda like an old 9 inch tv. If I want to damage my hearing, I put on the headphones at max volume. I did a dead pixel check. At one point I thought -there it IS! - but nope, it was a just tiny spec of dust on the screen that wiped right off. Within the next 29 days of the return period something might go wrong but so far for $109 + the state government grab, this is a great monitor. As an aside, the monitors default sound level is set at 50%, you might want to put it up to 100% and control the volume from your software since, of course, there is no remote control. Also, if you have an AMD graphics card with FreeSync this monitor claims to support it. It doesnt support nVidia G-Sync.

> 3 daySceptre Flat screen monitor The quality of these screens are amazing considering the price of them. They work perfectly as the additional monitors within my multi-monitor setup. I bought 3! 5 Stars! Hope you find this review and pictures helpful!

> 3 dayTwo year in with a pair of these hooked to a Mac mini. It has been an adventure. The Mac and these have intermittent issues. The monitor settings are hard to adjust. The price is right, dont forget that.

> 3 dayI ordered the monitor and even got a replacement monitor but both of them had pixel problems. The first had 2 pixels that wouldnt show green while the 2nd replacement had a singular fully dead pixel. While gaming I dont notice the pixels, but watching videos or browsing the web it becomes painfully obvious due to the fact that when the screen goes white these things really pop out as purple or black dots on screen. The pixels aside its a solid monitor with great response time and image quality, I cant fully recommend this monitor due to having gotten 2 different screens that have noticeable dead or defective pixels.

> 3 dayI needed a cheap replacement monitor for my old 27 Viewsonic monitor as I really did not want to invest any more money in my old Windows 7 Pro computer rig. But, since new computers with pre-loaded Windows 11 are still not readily available, I had to bite the bullet and buy this monitor to tide me over. Out of the box, I needed to fuss with A LOT of the hardware settings to get it to kind of match my old monitor settings. You need to call up and scroll through a hardware menu to do so, and the location of the setting buttons on the back of the monitor does not make this task any easier. Still, with all the fuss and muss, it only took me about 10 minutes to figure it out and adjust the monitor to where I wanted it to be. Cons: The computer stand could be more robust and stiffer, but for my use, it is not a show stopper. No on-board USB ports, but I knew this ahead of time so again it was not a show stopper. Pros: Price, reduced power consumption (when compared to the older 120 v monitors), and weight. At my age, weight matters with you have to move desktop computer equipment to clean your workspace and this monitor is substantially lighter than my old 27 Viewsonic monitor and uses a lot less power too. Mom really loves this new monitor, so I guess that is what really matters!

> 3 dayWell it’s not great and it’s not totally horrible. Sorry for the back and forth but the monitor is fulfilling the purpose I bought it for. You can’t expect this thing to be as great as an Samsung, Asus, etc. My work from home monitor replacement, yes I bought it myself because the company supplied 20” is way too small and old. This monitor works for desktop applications, and it’s so-so. I had one stuck pixel as did my best friend who followed suite in buying one too. Needs some tweaking but works great for my work needs. I thought about returning it over the one pixel but in reality the price and waiting another 2-3 weeks to receive a replacement not worth it with the Covid-prime 2weeks instead of 2 days shipping. Now for my other use, this work from home setup is a spare computer and if the wife takes my main game box I have a fall back. This monitor is horribly fuzzy and washed out in gaming. For the record I have only tried overwatch with a freesync compatible RX 550 4gb card ( it’s a dell tower not my ryzen 5 with 32gb ram and SSD drives upstairs). So I know there’s a big difference but the image and colors can’t hold a candle to my acer 24.5” 75hz monitor with my game box. Does it work, yes absolutely well enough I can ignore the above and enjoy a game. If you want size, cost, and don’t care to game on this monitor it’s decent for the price. If you plan to game on it, I would suggest looking elsewhere. Unless you care more about size & price and can deal with it and the potential of a stuck/dead pixel you may get too. Nick

> 3 dayI 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!

> 3 dayAs 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.)
