07-06-2025Extremely bright and vibrant. Had to immediately go into picture settings and set to manual to reduce the bright whites and backlight, but this screen is capable of really great brightness. I got this for my dad and he is in a very light-controlled room so it was a bit overwhelming at stock setting, but this would be great for environments with lots of ambient light. Once adjusted, this looks great and its a keeper. I like the near-edgeless display as well. Highly recommended. I have always had great experiences with Sceptre products. Ignore reviews here that say this monitor is dim. I am not sure what monitor they are looking at, because that is certainly not the experience I had at all! Super bright and vibrant...

> 3 dayI bought this monitor to connect to a 4 port HDMI KVM switch that also connects the computer audio via the HDMI. Using the internal speakers was unacceptable so I plugged in a set of powered speakers to the headphone jack and that worked. For video, the quality is good except there is about a 1/2 gap between the display and the bezel, meaning that the displayable part of the screen is about an inch smaller than the physical screen, almost like the display was built for a case with a larger bezel then the bezel size was reduced. For the price, Id say it was a good deal for use in my computer lab.

> 3 dayNo missing pixels, arrived fast, and easy to put together. I am only using it as a second monitor, so I dont know how it handles gaming, but for my needs, its great.

> 3 dayWe bought this monitor so that we can expand the number of work stations at home since everyone is working from home and kids are distancing learning. The first thing I noticed when we turned it on is that the screen is not very clear. It has a glare free covering in it which is fine but when my daughter brings up pictures for her photo editing, it’s clearly not very clear for graphics. Yes, this is listed as a business monitor but I was thinking maybe that meant the refresh rate is not like a gaming monitor. But when my wife used it for work she noticed right away that it isn’t very clear. The glare free screen kind of takes away the brightness too. One thing I was kind of disappointed in is that there are only HDMI ports. I would think at this point in our technology world all monitors would come with HDMI and DisplayPort. But again, maybe because this isn’t supposed to be a graphics intensive monitor. The last negative I would say about this monitor is that it has a pedestal stand so there is only one leg in the middle. This monitor is big so with one leg, the monitor rocks constantly. Every bump of the table, high intensity clicks of the keyboard, a lot of mouse movement, it made the monitor rock and sway a lot. It just seemed cheap and on the verge of falling down. If you will use a mount then that would solve the problem but it’s just not as good of a monitor that I was hoping for.

Greater than one weekSome glare when lights on; very faint. But it messes with clarity of image when working on excel, reading pdfs, etc. Not bad when watching videos.

> 3 dayThis monitor worked just fine out of the box (had previously ordered an Acer which was awful and had to be returned). Easy set up, plug and play and plenty bright. Still figuring out how to make the image sharper (some options were grayed out, so not sure why) but fantastic for work (Im not a gamer). The only thing that is really bad is the stand it comes with. I am not mounting it to a wall and the cheap plastic stand is so flimsy that the monitor wobbles constantly as I type or if I lean on my desk. There is no reason for this - just cheaped out on the stand. The awful Acer had a plastic stand but designed well enough so there was rigidity structurally and even though it was literally twice as heavy, didnt wobble at all. Would give this 5 stars if it didnt wobble.

Greater than one weekI use it for work. We have some old janky computer that would turn on super slow instead of blinking on. Had it for several months and no complaints other than the screen getting all fuzzy after blanking out on rare rare occasions. It happens so rarely it’s not an issue because turning the screen off and on fixes it. Again it’s a work computer so it hasn’t been used for gaming. I have a very nice speced out gaming monitor at home.

> 3 dayI’ve bought 6 of these for my team in the past couple of years. Overall they’ve been great monitors. Unfortunately the most recent one died after 9 months.
