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

Ive only had the monitor for a day but Im happy with the purchase. I initially tried to cancel the order but the seller had already shipped. I figured I would give it a try and send it back if it wasnt up to spec. Im coming from a 12 year old Samsung T260HD monitor that is 25.5 inches, 1920x1200 @60hz. This was top of the line at the time and paid $329 while this was one was only $109. The old monitor had screen tearing in games (no g-sync or freesync) and FPS play wasnt ideal, especially in COD Warzone. If youve never played on a higher refresh rate monitor before, it makes a difference. I tried overclocking the monitor to 85hz and then 80hz but neither took so I tried out the rated spec of 75hz with freesync and let me say.. I could notice the difference right away and even picked up my first Warzone Solo victory. Aiming was much more smooth and I could keep my reticle glued on other players. If youre using this for light gaming and youre coming from a 60hz panel, youll be pleasantly surprised. This appears to be a TN panel because the viewing angles are poor. Theyre completely fine when viewed straight ahead - since this is being used as a computer monitor, its not a problem for me but buyer beware. No dead pixels or edge bleeding to speak of. Blacks arent super dark but decent and the factory setting was ok as far as brightness and contrast was concerned. I configured to my liking and Im satisfied. The stand is wobbly as others have stated and I didnt even bother with speakers, nor should you. Im not expecting this thing to last but Im hoping to get 2-3 years out of it. I was looking to get a higher refresh rate monitor (144-165hz) but after doing research, you cant take advantage of the higher refresh rate unless your frames per second average is just as high (144+fps). With a Ryzen 5 2600 and an aging Rx 570, Im getting an average of 75fps in COD Warzone with the settings at high. In this case, the monitor is a perfect pairing for the 75hz refresh rate. In order to take advantage of the higher refresh rate you will need to open up your AMD or Nvidia software and create a profile that is set @75hz. Once this is created, go into display settings on your computer -> advanced settings -> monitor and then select the new 75hz profile from the drop down. Last, you will need to enable freesync from the monitor control panel (its in the menu options) and then enable it in the AMD software (not sure about Nvidia). If youre lucky, you may be able to overclock the monitor to a higher refresh rate. Just create a profile for 80 or 85hz, select it in display settings and see if it takes. If it doesnt, the monitor will revert back to the previous refresh rate in 10 seconds. From what Ive read, this doesnt harm your monitor and it depends on the manufacturer as to how far you can overclock it. Dont expect much from this panel, however. All-in-all, its an upgrade for me in just about every way. Some people say a 27 screen at 1080p for gaming isnt ideal. I beg to differ. The pixel density isnt superb by any means but I didnt notice any difference from a slightly smaller screen (25.5 vs 27) and less pixels (old monitor was 1920x1200). If I had to choose, Id take the extra real-estate over pixel density which I think only amounts to 6ppi. Theres pixel density calculators out there if youre curious. If you can afford it and your GPU/CPU can achieve 100+fps, I would go with a higher refresh rate monitor. For lower end specs, general use or a second monitor and for the low price, I dont see why not.

My favorite monitor come from sceptre have had multiple gaming setups Bc I’m in and out of gaming all of the time and by far sceotre makes the best onky problem is out of the box I always have to mess with picture color Bc it’s very vibrant is makes darker games look horrible other than that I love these monitors especially for the price!

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!

Works as advertised.

Real easy to put together, very clear picture and setup was a snap.

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.

The monitor is great for the price point. I wasn’t expecting anything spectacular considering it is not a 4/5k monitor. If you need a monitor for standard computer work this will fit your needs. What the monitor exceeds at is it refresh rate when it comes to gaming. I moved my PS4 into my bedroom because I work from home, but I’m going to keep it in my room because the quality of gaming on this is where it excels. The only two down sides I have is build quality and sound. It’s pretty flimsy, but for less than $150 that’s expected. The real and only issue I have with this monitor is the speakers. They lack depth and leave you wanting more. You will definitely need to buy external speakers or use headphones. Overall I would purchase this product again if I needed a second display or replacement.

The monitor itself is pretty good overall. Pros: Picture quality HDMI Easy to setup Cons: Speaker quality (very bad) Only 1 hdmi Buttons are a little difficult to navigate

Honestly, it’s a pretty solid monitor for the price. Only thing i have to say is that the speakers are low quality, but other than that the picture quality is good for what it’s worth (even a little better).

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.
