Sceptre 27-inch IPS Gaming Monitor 165Hz 144Hz HDMI DisplayPort 99% sRGB AMD FreeSync FPS RTS Build-in Speakers Machine Black

This is a great monitor - especially for the price. I had originally purchased an LG UltraGear VA panel monitor but ended up returning it due to washed out colors and no speakers.Got this monitor instead and it surprised me. For $99, this monitor has vibrant, vivid colors and deep blacks and bright whites. The viewing angles are great too. And to top it off, it's got speakers which work in a pinch. No need to have extra speakers on your desk. When I want high-quality speakers, I'll connect via bluetooth to my home speaker.Lastly, this monitor comes with a displayport cable (the LG only came with HDMI).Overall, this monitor is a huge steal for the price. The only "con" is the stand as I find it's too low and flat. You should either elevate it or just mount this lightweight monitor on a stand.

I picked this monitor up to replace the main monitor I was using. In fact, I'm writing this review staring at it.24-inch, 165hz is a weird combination, but the screen performs beautifully. The black is deep, the white is clear, and the colors are all crisp. Plug and play, as most monitors are, was simple. I've struggled to think of any negatives regarding this monitor and I simply can't. The size is perfect, there's no flickering or tearing, and the price is perfect.

I've been using this for a few days now, overall it's a great product (especially on sale at $120). I'm glad I took the chance on a brand I've never heard of. Rumor has it that this monitor is using the same panel as some $200 monitor sold by ASUS, which is what really sold me on trying an unknown brand.This is replacing an older 60Hz TN monitor for me, and I've only used TN panels (It's been a long time since I bought a monitor). So maybe take this with a grain of salt. I've also been using the monitor defaults for testing it out.Pros:No frills or gimmicks. Just a monitor that displays an image.On the back every video input is clearly labeled like in the image, and says exactly what version of HDMI each port supports. Instead of guessing, or looking up the manual.Bezel is almost non-existent.Stand is made out of metal, just a nice touch.Color quality is excellent out of the box, I haven't even bothered calibrating colors yet. Blacks are actually black. Whites are blinding, but white. Blue really pops, Red and Green seem good but don't pop as much as blue. The color quality between the TN panels and IPS is night and day better.General image quality is crisp and clear. Text looks crisp, I'm noticing minor details in shadows from movies and games I couldn't see before. The DPI on this monitor seems much higher than my previous TN. Or its just the difference between how TN and IPS pixels are made?Image quality in motion is excellent. By default the Overdrive setting is set to "Medium" and it has some very minor ghosting visible in the Blur Busters test, but I haven't noticed any ghosting at all while playing any games, even FPS games. I have no idea what the response time is when overdrive is set to medium, but it seems low enough to not think about. I actually forgot I hadn't changed it until typing this.165Hz over Display Port is a nice bonus. Adaptive Sync works as expected, even on an Intel GPU. On Intel Arc the "Variable Refresh Rate Range" supports 48Hz - 165Hz. Though IIRC FreeSync is supposed to support as low as 30Hz. This may just be an Intel support issue.Cons:The monitor is scary thin. The top half of the monitor is basically just a plastic cover for the back of the panel. There is no structure holding the top half of the panel. I'm worried I'm going to bend the panel when adjusting the tilt. On one hand it's really impressive how thin this monitor is, on the other hand it just feels very fragile. Bending your screen while adjusting the tilt would have to be the most stupid way of breaking your monitor of all time. If it falls over somehow, it's 100% going to damage the panel. There's just no structure protecting the panel IMO. Perhaps on the next version Sceptre should add a little structural rigidity for peace of mind.Stand is comically short. Though it is quite wide so it isn't tipping over easily.PS Shout out to the seller, who shipped immediately. The package arrived like 5 days early. I had to sign for it, so FedEx didn't just leave my brand new monitor on the porch. Which I appreciate.

Decent monitor so far

My daughter was looking for a new monitor that was more compatible with her gaming monitor, with great visual specs and picture quality. I decided to purchase this item. It has great functionality, it was easy to set up, and it is working well so far.

I bought it for being my main monitor and works amazing, because of I use AMD setup, it has compatibility tools that allow me to use it up to 180Hz. The quality is really good, games seems incredible using this monitor, it includes some tools for installing it by yourself. it works on different sizes and is easy to set up.

The media could not be loaded. PROS:The picture and color depth. Especially for price point!!!!! Worth every penny!!This monitor blew me away.Yes, I know it's 1080P but for better FR I'm thoroughly satisfied with this monitor. I did have to change settings to get picture brighter and turn on other features I useI'm a huge fan of Sceptre monitors, they are the only ones I've owned.The speakers are awful but that is NOT why I got it!!The picture quality and brightness at 320nitts according to Sceptre's website.The size is perfect for me, not too big I don't find myself having to constantly move my head or scan outside peripheral vision.Makes for a better experience during fast-paced shooter games. Of course this can be obtained by distancing myself from the monitor.So if you're sceptical of it just buy it.It's worth it!!Plus, it's Amazon it's not like they won't honor an exchange or whatever.CONS:I will say the only negative this about ALL Scepter monitors had the power cord course a MAJOR update.It's not very long of a cord and the power brick is awkward and large. The stand was no issue for me since I use a different one but the included one is effective just don't expect to wiggle it around.
