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

So my work computer is my notebook and when Im at home I prefer to have it hooked to my monitor desktop monitor and rely on multi-channel peripherals, so switching between work and play is somewhat seamless. Thats the background. So I dont have a lot of experience with desktop monitors (this is my second in about 3 years and the one I had before this was a cathode-ray monitor hooked up to my Windows Vista desktop) so you can take everything I say about picture, size, etc well salted. That being said, I actually love this thing. Its a little on the large side for my tiny cubby of a desk, but its great. The picture quality is great. I love playing video on it, all that good stuff. Also, having two HDMI connectors does not hurt when youre switching between screens. The bevel size is an improvement on my old monitor, but it comes with the drawbacks. The buttons for the monitor are located on the back, which is a design protocol that I hate, and always have hated, but that is neither here nor there. My problem is that markings on the front of the bevel, denoting which button is which, are nigh invisible. I can only see them if I move my body so that its at a certain angle and I am staring straight at them. As such I prefer to go by feel, and I usually get it right. Switching between screens could be easier, and cant be done in less than three button pushes. It is stable: Ive only had the screen crash once switching between my desktop and my laptop, and its a lot easier to reset the connection when its and HDMI cable as opposed to a DVI. All in all the negatives are minor for me, but I guess worth taking a star off. Still, I would recommend this if youre in the market for a cheap monitor.

Pros: Huge! Matte screen lots of inputs. Slim bezel, Mine came with a DVI to HDMI cable, no HDMI Cons: Buttons on the back. Power adapter is a wall-wart. Stand a bit wobbly My biggest issue with this monitor is the buttons being located on the back. If using multiple of these ( I have 2 side-by-side in landscape) the buttons are a pain in the ass to use. I use one as dual purpose for a PC and RPI. To switch inputs is an exercise in contortion if you use the left monitor as I do. I would have preferred them on the bottom edge but I have the feeling this was done so these screen could mounted in portrait with multiple monitors. If the buttons had be arrange horizontally instead of vertical this would be less of an issue. The power brick that comes with these monitors is the wall-wart kind where the plugs are on the brick. I would have liked to see a brick with a short pig tail like a laptop brick so less outlet space is taken up. the cable is plenty long enough however. The stand was super easy to attach and in the future I expect it to be just as easy to remove should I need to. However it is a bit wobbly at the point where the stand attaches to the monitor. Though I attribute that to it being such a large monitor and there will be some flex no matter what. It is by no means excessive. Some day I may buy monitor arm so its great that there is a vesa mount option. I so far I love these monitors. The brushed look and matte screen make them look very clean. For anyone concerned they would look very smart in a business setting. These are the first screens Ive bought brand new for personal use and I have no complaints. I use my PC for coding, 3D CAD, Wed surfing, movies/Youtube and some light gaming and everything looks great. They are supper bright. I may attempt to do a color calibrating but Overall Im happy with the current setting. I did change to the Movie setting with bluelight shift 30%

I 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!

The monitor itself is pretty good overall. Pros: Picture quality HDMI Easy to setup Cons: Speaker quality (very bad) Only 1 hdmi Buttons are a little difficult to navigate

I love this monitor, used to use it as my main but recently started using it as my secondary. I have had no problems until recently, whenever I use the monitor it glitches and shows huge pixels that dont go away for like 20 seconds. I dont know why this is happening, Ive had it for just under a year and never dropped it or damaged it. Other than that its perfect. I love the built in speakers and it runs smoothly.

I was a little bit skeptical about buying this monitor but it came pretty quick with no noticeable issues. The speakers are a bit off, I noticed that they sound a bit high pitched and it can be hard hearing certain things in the game. But other than that the monitor is pretty great. I personally like the settings options and being able to tilt the monitor. I definitely recommend this for causal gaming

The monitor is great for the price point. I wasn’t expecting anything spectacular considering it is not a 4/5k monitor. If you need a monitor for standard computer work this will fit your needs. What the monitor exceeds at is it refresh rate when it comes to gaming. I moved my PS4 into my bedroom because I work from home, but I’m going to keep it in my room because the quality of gaming on this is where it excels. The only two down sides I have is build quality and sound. It’s pretty flimsy, but for less than $150 that’s expected. The real and only issue I have with this monitor is the speakers. They lack depth and leave you wanting more. You will definitely need to buy external speakers or use headphones. Overall I would purchase this product again if I needed a second display or replacement.

First of all, I ordered the Sceptre Monitor in the morning and received same day ! Amazon you Rock with customer service! Not sure how they did that!!!! Its a great monitor! Great quality! Great price!

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.

... 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.
