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

Bought two for home office set up. Working well so far and a good size without being huge. Easy to set up.

I was very surprised at how sharp and bright the picture was.

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.

I bought one of these for the home PC in the kitchen which I share with my wife. She plays some games, but I use it as a monitor-only. I was so impressed I bought a second for my home-office. I had 3 monitors already, but I swapped one out for the Sceptre . I can connect a 2nd PC and I can switch from one to the other with the push of a button. Worth every penny!

Sound quality is really lacking on this monitor

Love the monitor size, weight, clarity. Only complaint would be the sound - not great volume if you try to use that instead of headphones for meetings. I dont game. I have 2 of these in different sizes that I use for work. The larger size here has been AMAZING!! Its so lightweight that Ive been able to move it around as needed easily, too, when I choose to work in different spaces. My smaller monitor (same brand/style/model except 2 smaller) is older and has had zero issues. The HDMI connected immediately on both.

The speakers were worse than I expected even for budget monitor speakers. Both my laptop speakers and the old Vizio TV I was using for a monitor sound better. The monitor is also making a high pitched sound depending on what is displayed on the screen. I havent been able to determine if it is because the speaker circuit isnt filtered well or if its coming form another component inside the screen. Still, the picture is very good and honestly for the price Id buy it again. Id just opt for the model without a speaker and pick up a cheap little soundbar or something.

ORIGINALLY COMMENTED THAT I NEVER RECEIVED THE PRODUCT. TRACKING LINK SHOWED IT AS RECEIVED ON 8/8/2022; THIS WAS ALSO THE PROMISED ARRIVAL DATE. SINCE I HADNT RECEIVED IT, I COMMENTED THAT I HAD NOT RECEIVED IT, AND GAVE 1 STAR. NOW, 8/12/2022, ITEM HAS BEEN RECEIVED. SO FAR, QUALITY IS VERY GOOD. NOT HAPPY THAT DELIVERY PROMISE, TRACKING, AND REALITY WERE SO INCONSISTENT.

That frickin blinking blue light. I made the mistake of getting this for my office, which also happens to be in my bedroom. When the computer its connected to has been idle for some period of time, the monitor starts blinking this unbelievably bright blue light that can only be disabled by unplugging the monitor from the wall. Maddening! I did find a partial fix - in the settings, you can make it so the blue light stops blinking after 30 minutes - but no less. So if you use it before bed, you need to unplug it from the wall, or wait the 30 minutes. All this to say, dont get this monitor if youre going to be sleeping in the same room (unless you love blinking blue lights ya frickin weirdo)

The picture quality is awesome, especially for the price of the TV. The audio isnt very good, but Ive grown to expect that with sceptre tvs, great price and picture quality in exchange for meh audio quality. its a very easy fix by just plugging in a different speaker, though. I was surprised and confused when I realized this TV lacks compatibility with any TV remote, so I have to get up to shut it off, adjust volume, or go on different inputs. Its never mentioned in the description or on the box. Its very weird oversight, I didnt even know there were tvs made to not work with remotes.
