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

I was a little bit skeptical about buying this monitor but it came pretty quick with no noticeable issues. The speakers are a bit off, I noticed that they sound a bit high pitched and it can be hard hearing certain things in the game. But other than that the monitor is pretty great. I personally like the settings options and being able to tilt the monitor. I definitely recommend this for causal gaming

The only bad thing is the sound on the screen

Get something else for gaming

If you arent worried about the built-in then its a pretty good screen.

I just got into the realm of building a PC and a friend recommended this to me as a starter monitor. I read a lot of reviews saying it came damaged, or that it was broken, or had a faulty base. My monitor came in great condition and was packaged properly. The base to the monitor is kind of wobbly so keep that in mind but as long as youre not slamming on your desk consistently you should be okay. Screen quality is great and I havent seen any dead pixels so I feel its a great starter monitor for gaming or anyone getting into the PC world

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.

For $139 and 27 inch its a great monitor but as you see in the picture on the left is the sceptre on the right an old V7 the white color is off seems dim no matter how I adjust the settings this was as close as I could get it to match the V7 but its still an off white and not as bright as the V7 but not a deal breaker for me as its just for the home office

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.

As the review headline says, excellent deal. A steal at $150 for a 27 monitor with a decent screen suitable for office work and gaming. The extra size allows me more multitasking capability, which I need for work. And its always good to game on a bigger screen. A good buy. Recommended. (Plus, the 2 HDMI ports are a bonus, since many monitors come with only one.)

I bought this for use with my laptop. Unfortunately, when I plug this in, my laptop switches its audio output to the speakers in the monitor, and there is no option (not that I could find) to switch back to the speakers built into the laptop. The sound quality from this monitor sucks compared to my laptop speakers. The mounting stand for the monitor is flimsy and the monitor rocks from side to side with the slightest touch. The mount provided might be adequate for a 15 monitor, but is completely inadequate for a 27 monitor.
