Sceptre 20 1600x900 75Hz Ultra Thin LED Monitor 2x HDMI VGA Built-in Speakers, Machine Black Wide Viewing Angle 170° (Horizontal) / 160° (Vertical)

4 stars cause 75hz but 4 stars cause of the price for this, cant beat it any where else for this price. I use it as a second screen and i love it

I picked this up a second monitor to use with my security cameras. Super easy to set up, just plug and play after you attach the base to the monitor. Tilt lets you angle the screen to wherever you need it and the picture is bright, crisp and great for my purposes. I’m not a gamer but I do use this for work all day and I don’t have a single complaint after a couple of months. Excellent affordable option for a second or primary monitor.

This monitor came and was easy to set up. I had to use my existing cable for an older computer. I wanted to upgrade my old monitor but was limited to 19.5 inches of space. This monitor fits into that space nicely and gives me more screen room to have more windows visible.

It is very important to download the drivers before setting it up as instructed. I still wasnt getting a signal. Just as I was about to pack it up I unplugged it and waiting a few seconds and they plugged it all back in just in case and low and behold it finally got a signal. It was like daring me to ask for a refund before it decided to work. Now I love the graphics for duo monitors. Not crazy about the speakers sounds though. Good thing I have better speakers already.

This is an alright monitor, especially for the price I paid. I cant say I was just blown away but I cant say it is horrible either. The speakers arent the best, once you hit about 50 they dont get any louder, even though it goes to 100. The screen quality is good, though mine has issues toward the top with about a quarter of an inch strip all the way across that is damaged, but it doesnt hinder the usage. I figured it had something to do with how it was shipped or something. Im not too sure about it. But it works to replace the small TV that had gone out before this purchase.

I was impressed by the picture quality. I use it for watching youtube videos and watching the stock market. The display is very clear and sharp. I have a 20 inch screen. The video is excellent. The audio is clear but low quality. The audio is fine for voice but for music, it is not good. I dont do gaming so I cant say how it would work for that application. The monitor came with a Phillips screw driver. The screw driver was a quality tool. Over all I was very satisfied with the purchase.

I love the monitor for what I need it for. Yes the sound quality is not the best and for the price thats ok

Ive had this monitor for over 4 years and its still running strong no issues. Its worked so well for me that when i bought my new 1440p main monitor, i went with sceptre again. Now, I wouldnt use this for a primary monitor as its not even 1080p, but for a secondary monitor for things like discord, spotify, podcasts, movies, etc. Its good enough.

Fits nice on my desk

This review is for the “(Sceptre 20 1600 x 900 75Hz LED Monitor 2X HDMI VGA Built-in Speakers, sRGB 99% Machine Black (E209W-16003RT Series) aka “20” 75Hz Wide Viewing Angle” monitor. I got 2 of these for $115/ea. It was difficult to return them and go with two Samsung 1080p IPS 22” monitors instead. For some reason, the non-IPS screens (like these) have a hard time displaying an even black/gray screen. The pictures with the grayscale test have my very high-quality laptop monitor below them as a reference in each picture for what the black/gray screen SHOULD look like. The monitor is on the top of each picture and my laptop is below it. The laptop screen is mirrored on the Spectre monitor above it. These exhibit pretty bad “ghosting.” To be fair, it is not as bad in real life as the camera makes the monitor look. But I still found it too distracting to work with. Because the screen is always darker at the top than the bottom (regardless of viewing angle), it can be difficult to see vertical scroll bars because it fades from normal at the top to washed-out at the bottom. Googling information can also be difficult because the color change of a site you have already been to on Google is more difficult to see at the bottom of the screen than at the top. It is also harder to work in Excel because the grid lines are not an even shade across the entire screen. It is not horrible like the HP V20 HD+ 19.5-inch monitor. But it is still not great. I found it too distracting to work with as a home office monitor. There should be 6 pictures showing the different shades of black/gray mirrored off my laptop onto the Spectre 20” monitor. The monitor in the picture also has a bad pixel a few inches from the top left corner that you can see in the darkest pictures as green. I personally do not take off points because my specific product/item has a flaw/defect. Even the best manufacturers have products that pass quality control. So I simply mention it and let readers decide for themselves if it is too common of a problem for them to decide not to purchase it. I only give bad reviews for “systemic problems” that affect all of a product line like this. There are many different options for changing the brightness, tint, color, sharpness, etc. But unfortunately, because the screen is not even, if the top looks good the bottom looks bad and vice versa. On the good side it does have some really nice features for the money. I will miss the dual HDMI ports and the speakers even though they’re not very good. But this allows you to plug in a Roku stick and watch/listen to TV while working on the other monitor if you have two (see picture). I also personally liked the size better than the 22” Samsung 1080p monitors I’m keeping. Two 22” monitors are a little big for my very small desk even when VESA mounted. The Spectre monitors are also VESA mountable which was another reason I purchased them. They come with screws that create a gap of about ¾” between the monitor and a VESA mount (see picture). I’m not exactly sure why they did this, but it does make it easier to access cables in the back and it was not an inconvenience for me. There are many different options for changing the brightness, tint, color, sharpness, etc. But unfortunately, because the screen is not even, if the top looks good the bottom looks bad and vice versa. If you don’t have much money and these are on sale for $120 or less, it might be a monitor worth considering. But the one I opened to try/test had a defective pixel so I had to return it anyways. And I never opened the 2nd one because I decided I just couldn’t work with this monitor for most likely many years. The Samsung’s look fantastic straight out of the box without having to mess with screen adjustments. And I got them on sale from Amazon for $140/ea. For my needs, as a home office monitor(s), the Samsung’s are much better and worth the extra $25/ea. But the Samsung 22 IPS monitors are normally $165+/ea. It would have been a more difficult choice if I had to pay full price for the Samsung’s.
