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

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.

I needed a cheap replacement monitor for my old 27 Viewsonic monitor as I really did not want to invest any more money in my old Windows 7 Pro computer rig. But, since new computers with pre-loaded Windows 11 are still not readily available, I had to bite the bullet and buy this monitor to tide me over. Out of the box, I needed to fuss with A LOT of the hardware settings to get it to kind of match my old monitor settings. You need to call up and scroll through a hardware menu to do so, and the location of the setting buttons on the back of the monitor does not make this task any easier. Still, with all the fuss and muss, it only took me about 10 minutes to figure it out and adjust the monitor to where I wanted it to be. Cons: The computer stand could be more robust and stiffer, but for my use, it is not a show stopper. No on-board USB ports, but I knew this ahead of time so again it was not a show stopper. Pros: Price, reduced power consumption (when compared to the older 120 v monitors), and weight. At my age, weight matters with you have to move desktop computer equipment to clean your workspace and this monitor is substantially lighter than my old 27 Viewsonic monitor and uses a lot less power too. Mom really loves this new monitor, so I guess that is what really matters!

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

Can’t speak to gaming; picture quality seems pretty good so may work fine for that. However, i purchased two for work from home setup and letters in Outlook and Word lack clarity and its noticeable and i tried many adjustments, including sharpness (which has only 0, 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% vs 0-100 for all other adjustments.. This is not totally unexpected due to size vs resolution, but what makes it much less tolerable is after one day each monitor has a dead pixel. I guess these arent bad for the price point, but understand these aren’t going to be perfect, especially if used for work. Update: changed rating from 3 stars to 4 because on one monitor the dead pixels were actually stuck and by rubbing the screen I was able to unstick them. On the other monitor, I was within the 30 day window for Amazon and they exchanged it for me. Thank you Amazon! Hopefully no new pixels will get stuck or go dead.....

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.

Sceptre Flat screen monitor The quality of these screens are amazing considering the price of them. They work perfectly as the additional monitors within my multi-monitor setup. I bought 3! 5 Stars! Hope you find this review and pictures helpful!

I can not adjust the brightness

This monitor has an excellent picture but the audio is very low and yes I have everything turned to 100. Thought having external speaker would help but nope. I have a headphone amplifier I put on the 3.5mm output to boost audio and now I have volume.

I just hooked this up after a black friday sale. Things Ive noticed. (no dead pixels for me). Pros - its definitely a large improvement vs the 24 monitor I was using before. - I verified on blankwebsite.com - the yellowish light to get rid of blue light is nice. Its a lot easier on the eyes. Cons - The stand is extremely cheap. It feels like if my cats bump it it will tip over and brake. Also you cant adjust the angle of the monitor on the stand (it is a really cheap flimsy stand). This is probably a deal breaker for me. - It has a wallwart rather than a regular plug which could make it difficult for fitting into a powersupply or outlet. - theres a really annoying flashing blue light whenever your computer isnt sending signal to it. In the dark its really annoying.

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
