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

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)

When this monitor goes to sleep with the computer, their is a light that says on all night long. So I always have to shut down the computer at night so the monitor doesnt annoy me. Also, I was disappointed that it doesnt come with any type of connection cable or hardware other than the HDMI cable. So I had to get an adapter to be able to plug it into my USB port. Of course, this was probably specified in the purchase description, so it is not fair for me to call it out. But I would expect it to be able to connect to a normal computer right out of the box. However, the picture is good and the monitor has a good design.

Purchased this for a home office. My previous monitored did not like the intel graphics card in my computer. It was blurry. This monitor is clear. Great value!

I got this to use with my Chromebook and IPad. When used with my Chromebook it is connected via an hdmi cable. When used with my IPad I cast the picture onto the monitor using a Roku (also hooked up with an hdmi cable). Both set ups work well. The monitor has speakers on it that are fine for basic and see, but if you want to listen to music or games you will want to use a blue tooth speaker. Chromebooks have multi screen capabilities, and the monitor works very well in that mode. For what I use it for, this monitor works very well, and is a fantastic value. If I had your kids though I would want a more secure base. While I have not had any issues with it, I suspect kids could knock the monitor over rather easily. It works fine for me, though.

For just over a hundred bucks these are the best monitors Ive used. You get a nice bit of gear here for not a lot of money. Pros; +Cost is lower than low +Build of monitor itself is great (Ill mention the stand in the cons below) +has AMD Freesync +75Hz is not bad for people that dont need to go nuts with gaming. I play casually and dont want to spend a lot for a feature I dont need. +Has vesa mounts built in to the monitor, Very convenient (especially at this price) +Fast shipping, with NO dead pixels(I bought 2 for myself, and a third for a friend, and had no damage whatsoever). People writing bad reviews mustve gotten unlucky I suppose. +Bezels are surprisingly very discrete. +27 inches of screen are the sweet spot for me, any bigger and youre turning your head to look. Any smaller and you run out of space to work with. Cons; -The stand is awful, wobbly as heck, but if you have a sturdy desk, or plan to mount them its not even an issue. -5ms response is a bit lackluster with all the rest of the features it has, but for the price I Still cant complain. -Not really sure why they have a vga input instead of a Dvi input... I havent used vga in over a decade. But glad they included two Hdmis to make up for it. -screen bleeds quite a bit when black, but I personally dont care but its a con to most so Im including it. -Dont use the built in speakers unless you have too, they are exactly how bad youd expect. I tested them just for kicks. No bueno. Overall this is is worth the money, chances are if youre looking at budget monitors, you dont truly need anything more. This will work for everyday use. From basic photo editing, gaming, and watching movies, to just having a bigger screen for all your tasks. Either way. I like it. Hope this helps!

This is a great budget 1080p monitor. I use this as a secondary monitor to help with multi-tasking and also have my PS4 connected to it. There are obvious pros and cons to this monitor, but keep the price in mind. Pros: Matte finish to help against glare Plenty of options to adjust picture Blue light shift has multiple levels of adjustment to make picture warmer if desired VESA mountable Built in speakers Price Cons: Speaker output quality LED indicator (subjective) For an IPS panel (stated by vendor in questions section) this doesnt have the greatest viewing angles The included stand is a bit wobbly All ports face downward (subjective) The Pros of the monitor are pretty self explanatory so Ill go over the cons. -Although advertised as a 75 Hz monitor, its running at 60Hz in 1080p. But this could possibly be due to the cheaper hdmi cable I got for this monitor. -The speakers dont have the greatest sound quality, but I didnt expect much for the price. The speakers work fine if you just want to hear something from your game, but I dont recommend them as primary audio output. -There is an LED indicator on the bottom right corner (LED projects light downward) that illuminates solid blue when it receives signal, blinks blue when its awake and awaiting signal, and is solid red when the monitor is off/asleep. -Like mentioned above, the vendor answered a question about the panel and stated its an IPS panel. I also have an LG 27GL83A-B IPS monitor and the viewing angles are much better than the spectre. But again, keep the price in mind. -The included stand is a bit wobbly but I ended up mounting this monitor so I stored the stand. This monitor did not include hardware to VESA mount so ensure the monitor mount/stand has hardware or get hardware. -The power, HDMI, and VGA port face downwards so you may need 90 degree adapters for the HDMI ports to prevent the cables from sticking out from the bottom of the monitor. -Something else noting is the buttons on my monitor are in a horizontal orientation, but still in the bottom right corner. OVERALL: I researched a bit before deciding on this monitor and Im very happy with my purchase. Ive already recommended this monitor to other friends looking for a budget friendly 27 monitor and if I had to do it over again Id still stick with this 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!

Not to shabby for the cost. Bought this for a family member who needed a bigger screen

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