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

I got this to use with my Chromebook and IPad. When used with my Chromebook it is connected via an hdmi cable. When used with my IPad I cast the picture onto the monitor using a Roku (also hooked up with an hdmi cable). Both set ups work well. The monitor has speakers on it that are fine for basic and see, but if you want to listen to music or games you will want to use a blue tooth speaker. Chromebooks have multi screen capabilities, and the monitor works very well in that mode. For what I use it for, this monitor works very well, and is a fantastic value. If I had your kids though I would want a more secure base. While I have not had any issues with it, I suspect kids could knock the monitor over rather easily. It works fine for me, though.

Added this as a second monitor and love it . Prefer for my needs . Ordering 2 more for one of my other offices

This is a great monitor if you set expectations based on its price. I purchased this to replace a 10 year old Samsung monitor, and Im completely satisfied. Im using this screen with a laptop for school work and some gaming and Im planning on buy a second one once its in stock again. I didnt realize it supported freesync until I got it, price was my main purchase motivator. I guess the freesync feature is nice, and I got lucky since I have an AMD card that supports it. It seems that the design has changed though, the photos of the inputs are not what I got. Same inputs, but theyre not rear facing, theyre facing downward. I would have preferred rear facing inputs. To properly cable manage the HDMI cord with out it being seen I felt like I had to bend it too close to the connector. Potential buys be aware of that, Ive actually never seen IO on a monitor that faces downward.

Using it for work. No gaming. Picture looks crisp and clear. Not sure how it runs with games. Definitely recommend for a work monitor.

Great Price,Quality great, picture awesome quality, recommended this product if you need a new screen update for compter.

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.

75 refresh rate is nice. 1080p is ok, for the price its great. 0 dead pixels

Can’t speak to gaming; picture quality seems pretty good so may work fine for that. However, i purchased two for work from home setup and letters in Outlook and Word lack clarity and its noticeable and i tried many adjustments, including sharpness (which has only 0, 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% vs 0-100 for all other adjustments.. This is not totally unexpected due to size vs resolution, but what makes it much less tolerable is after one day each monitor has a dead pixel. I guess these arent bad for the price point, but understand these aren’t going to be perfect, especially if used for work. Update: changed rating from 3 stars to 4 because on one monitor the dead pixels were actually stuck and by rubbing the screen I was able to unstick them. On the other monitor, I was within the 30 day window for Amazon and they exchanged it for me. Thank you Amazon! Hopefully no new pixels will get stuck or go dead.....

Sound quality is really lacking on this monitor

I love this monitor, I was not expecting it to be as big as it was which was a pleasant surprise. Love it, it has a great quality screen.
