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

overall not bad value for the money, but now I do need to buy speakers - the sound quality is awful (I try to appreciate the nostalgic resemblance of 90s PCs, but...).

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

I bought 3 of these, gave one as a gift to someone and am using 2 myself. Sceptre is an excellent value for the money. Impossible to find anything 27 for just over 100 dollars. The picture quality is fine - will need some fiddling around until you settle on the correct brightness and contrast for your use. I am playing around with the different User modes to see which one I like the most (trying the Eco mode now). The big downside is that the stand this monitor comes with is really cheap and flimsy. The stand comes with a setting that cannot be changed. One of my monitors is flat and straight, and the other is at an angle. I am investing in a dual monitor VESA mount. I should get that in a few days and I will mount both of these monitors and see how that works out... Overall, definitely recommend this monitor as a cheap, good option.

This monitor is hard to love due to some glaring issues with its quality control. That being said, its a budget conscious monitor that has a MSRP of $129.99 so you have to be realistic with your expectations. Ill go through my experience for you from start to finish. The Pros - It is 75hz refresh rate capable. 5ms response time for those who need it. Its light weight and very thin. (Great for mounting) It has 2 HDMI connectors. The version that I got uses a 12V DC port (Useful for cable management). Built in speakers a plus if you have limited space to work with. (Like using the monitor at a work station / terminal) The Cons - Out of 2 ordered, 1 had a dead pixel. The speakers are not only muffled, but extremely quiet. Stand is extremely light weight for a 27 inch monitor. 12V 3A AC/DC adapter looks really suspect (like the ones you get with LED strips) and probably will fail over time. VESA specs are incorrect in the manual. (They recommend M4 12mm screws). 1 year only warranty that requires you to send it back to them on your dime for service. My biggest gripe so far (dead pixel or not) is that the VESA mounting holes on the rear of the monitor are extremely shallow. I needed to special order a set of M4 8mm screws in order to get it to attach to one of my dual monitor brackets. VESA standards list 100 x 100 hole patterns to use a standard M4 10mm screw. My 8mm screws that I ordered barely fit into my bracket with a washer. I would assume the holes drilled in the monitor for the screws are 4mm or 5mm deep at best. The manual recommends using 12mm M4 screws! That would leave about 8mm or 7mm jutting out in the air. Most VESA mounting hardware will only include 10mm, 12mm and 25mm M4 screws for 100 x 100 hole patterns. So in case you want to mount this monitor to any bracket, make sure to have some shorter M4 screw sizes ready. Negatives aside, its an extremely attractive monitor for the home office or the kids (teenager or college bound). You can forgive a lot of the imperfections if this is going to be attached to something you dont stare at constantly. Probably also good for grass roots e-sports tournament organizers who need a larger screen real estate but dont want to break the bank and arent too worried about ultra quality. 5ms response time and 75hz refresh rate is good for most games except ultra competitive FPS. This is going to be a dynamic review in that I will update my experience as I own the monitor longer. I have a replacement coming from Amazon for the dead pixel afflicted one I got initially and well see how that goes. Sceptres policy on dead pixels is that they need 5 or more to be considered defective enough for warranty service. Worst yet, you have to ship the item back to them at your expense. So I highly recommend while youre in the Amazon 30 day return window to put the monitor through its paces and see if its the right one for you without any major problems. Once its out of that window, youll be at the mercy of Sceptres RMA department and will probably need to pay $22 bucks (or more) to send it back to fix a $129.99 (or less) monitor.

Picture is good and two inputs are nice. BUT the speakers sound very tinny and the buttons to do anything are on the back of the monitor. does anyone have a mirror mounted to see these little buttons? My old monitor had touch buttons on the front; a genius and convenient idea! If you want good sound this is not the monitor as there is no way to adjust the audio atall...except to increase or decrease the volume.

Im quite happy with my purchase of this monitor and it works well with my HP laptop w/Windows 11.

I love this monitor, used to use it as my main but recently started using it as my secondary. I have had no problems until recently, whenever I use the monitor it glitches and shows huge pixels that dont go away for like 20 seconds. I dont know why this is happening, Ive had it for just under a year and never dropped it or damaged it. Other than that its perfect. I love the built in speakers and it runs smoothly.

I would recommend this for anyone who wants a top quality screen and not pay a fortune for it.

Decent monitor for the price but had to send back. Had a stuck pixel in the center of the screen that is very noticeable on a white screen. Buttons being on the back of the monitor are an odd placement and have to blindly press around to adjust monitor settings or turn monitor off. Stand is very wobbly left to right . Being a 1080p on a 27 picture quality isnt very crisp. No Display Port connection if you have a newer graphics card that supports it. The on board speakers are very tinny and not even usable.

Great picture quality, need to do everything through buttons and the sound is not good needed to buy speakers
