Sceptre IPS 24-Inch Business Computer Monitor 1080p 75Hz with HDMI VGA Build-in Speakers, Machine Black (E248W-FPT)

I bought this to replace a $300 Samsung that took a crap in one year. I like this monitor better. I turned off the speakers because I have speakers, so that part I am not considering. It is better at everything than the Samsung was. I have held off reviewing this to see how it holds up. 5 months later, it is still very good. I never turn my monitors off and that may or may not contribute to early death. I left my Acer on for 6 years and it never fried and is still working today...It just sucked for gaming.

Its a good monitor for the money.

The monitor is clear and sharp. Im a happy owner!

Using the monitor for office work and watching videos so gaming is not considered in this review. Pros • Image quality. Clean and bright image and in general, images look crisp and videos are smooth. • Ports. Includes HDMI x2, VGA x1, 3.5mm audio in x1, 3.5mm audio out x1. • Thin profile and bezel. Cons • Non standard power attachment. Uses a mini brick which of course lends to the pro of a thin profile. • Stand has a fixed height and feels flimsy. • Audio is okay at best. On videos where audio is micd, full volume is muddled. Half volume isnt the easiest to understand. At 75, audio is okay. Recommend external speakers from PC/laptop. If you need an FHD monitor for extra desktop space or even for general use, this is a monitor that is well priced with a good image quality and will suit the purpose. Dont expect a lot of features like HDR, FreeSync, G-Sync or display port as this monitor wasnt made for that crowd. That said, the 75Hz refresh is a nice addition for video playback. If you need to adjust the height, you will need an arm or additional monitor stand as there is no height adjustment. The price at the time of purchase was perfect, only a few dollars more than a similar, but smaller monitor purchased a year earlier. Overall, good monitor for general use!

I played some Monster Hunter Rise with this pc, and the picture quality is amazing! I also did a test recording on OBS and usually when I stream or record, on my old 1680x1050 monitor, there would be black bars, and this monitor totally eliminated that issue. The lighting is brighter and it doesnt make games too bright or too dimmed out, its just perfect! The speaker quality is pretty good for being integrand into the monitor, but if you wanted a louder speaker, then I would definitely go buy a separate pc speaker. Overall this monitor is very good, and it isnt too big that it will take up space on ya desk :)

Have 4 of these monitors that have been operating for a few months now. They all arrived intact. No bad pixels. Color is vibrant and high resolution looks amazing. Thin bevel on sides and top makes placing two of them side by side easy with minimal gap in picture. Controls are on the back (right hand side) - so if you need access to the buttons to change inputs or volume on a regular basis, this might not be the monitor for you. Sound quality is awful, as it usually is with built in speakers, so I dont suggest using this feature. I wish it didnt have speakers. Great monitors when used just as monitors.

After having an Apple 27 inch Thunderbolt monitor for the last 7 years, I decided to save a ton of money on repairs and getting another top-of-line monitor. Reasons for the choice of a lower end/price monitor like the Sceptre were my Mac Mini is now 10 years old and is more of a storage computer and my newer Mac is a MacBook Air, which allows me to be more mobile being a laptop. So no need for an exceptional monitor, when all I need is good. PROS: Flat screen, HDMI input, Sleep mode, Wake mode. CONS: Horrible menu controls (you get what you pay for), Sleep/Wake mode is terrible at sensing.

I just use this for karaoke. It was inexpensive and lightweight. Exactly what I needed.

Easy to install and works perfectly so far, with really nice picture quality.

Great extension screen for laptop
