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

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.

Two year in with a pair of these hooked to a Mac mini. It has been an adventure. The Mac and these have intermittent issues. The monitor settings are hard to adjust. The price is right, dont forget that.

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!

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

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.

75 refresh rate is nice. 1080p is ok, for the price its great. 0 dead pixels

I was surprise how sharp and crisp the display quality of these monitors. I purchase two of them (cost factor) so I can have a larger view of my work and play area. They easily mounted onto my new MOUNTUP Dual Monitor Desk Mount, Fully Adjustable Dual Monitor Arm for 2 Max 32 Inch Computer Screens up to 19.8lbs, Dual Monitor Stand Fit Two VESA 75x75&100x100, with C-Clamp and Grommet Base MU0002. Which I purchased at the same time with these monitors. What I really like the most is that it freed up space on my desktop. Granted the monitors also have internal speakers that produce sound generated by my PC, however the speakers these monitors have are not really made to provide proper treble and base so the quality of the sound is not as good as powered speakers. Other than that these are awesome monitors.

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

Great display and excellent price, speakers also added value

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.
