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

The power supply for this is small and has a wall wart. this does not work well if you are mounting this as the cable is short and you is is very particular to this monitor so it will be hard to replace.

My wife works from home and wanted a larger monitor. This is a great monitor for the price and she loves it.

Get something else for gaming

I wasnt looking for anything fancy---just a larger monitor so I can work from home 1 day a week. This came with its own HDMI cable, it was very easy to hook up. The display is excellent the size was perfect! The picture transfers very well from my laptop to the monitor w/o any special sizing needing to be done.

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.

speakers are cheap

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 the second version of this monitor Ive had. Picture quality is still good. Biggest improvement is speakers. The speakers on the older version I have completely suck, can barely even hear them maxed out. These are much louder, which is not to say theyre great sounding, but at least I can hear them. Just using monitor at work, not for gaming or watching TV.

This monitor replaced an Asus monitor that constantly cut out intermittently. It is very bright and the volume can be easily adjusted to a loud setting. This does not cut out or even flicker. The sound is not stereo or high quality, but it is easily heard. There are numerous settings that can be adjust for everything--pic, sound, color, etc. And for the price ($150), I am very happy with this. A main critique from other users is the flimsy stand. It is flimsy and wobbles each time you touch the monitor or access the menu, but it does not move during normal use. And by no means does it appear that it will fall apart. But the stand does have a great tilt feature that only adds to its appeal. So great monitor, much better than my previous Asus.
