Sceptre IPS 24” Gaming Monitor 165Hz 144Hz Full HD (1920 x 1080) FreeSync Eye Care FPS RTS DisplayPort HDMI Build-in Speakers, Machine Black 2020 (E248B-FPT168),IPS 24 165Hz

This monitor is gorgeous to look at and performs wonderfully. The only issue I have is the support seems to be a little precarious. The unit can be pushed to tip forward with very little force. It you have furry children who walk around on your desk, you could easily end up with this unit screen down. A quick answer if to make sure the back leg is secured somehow. The long answer is for Sceptre to engineer future versions with a more stable base.

Everything is great if you wanna 144-165 frames this is a really nice one especially for the price. Everything is going smooth so far and it almost a month no problems. I think the only quip I have is the cable might be a bit too short and that’s all; but then you can get your own display as well so that solves it.

This is a great gaming monitor. But the shipping sucked. When I received this package, it wasn’t in a separate box. It was just the normal monitor packaging. And it had a damaged box that my Usps has noted. Luckily it wasn’t damaged. Sure, amazon has 100% guaranteed refunds. But what I hassle that would have been. I needed it the same day I received it, and luckily got to use it. But fyi to the shipper, you should really add this to another box with protective lining.

Ive been using this for a few days now, overall its a great product (especially on sale at $120). Im glad I took the chance on a brand Ive never heard of. Rumor has it that this monitor is using the same panel as some $200 monitor sold by ASUS, which is what really sold me on trying an unknown brand. This is replacing an older 60Hz TN monitor for me, and Ive only used TN panels (Its been a long time since I bought a monitor). So maybe take this with a grain of salt. Ive also been using the monitor defaults for testing it out. Pros: No frills or gimmicks. Just a monitor that displays an image. On the back every video input is clearly labeled like in the image, and says exactly what version of HDMI each port supports. Instead of guessing, or looking up the manual. Bezel is almost non-existent. Stand is made out of metal, just a nice touch. Color quality is excellent out of the box, I havent even bothered calibrating colors yet. Blacks are actually black. Whites are blinding, but white. Blue really pops, Red and Green seem good but dont pop as much as blue. The color quality between the TN panels and IPS is night and day better. General image quality is crisp and clear. Text looks crisp, Im noticing minor details in shadows from movies and games I couldnt see before. The DPI on this monitor seems much higher than my previous TN. Or its just the difference between how TN and IPS pixels are made? Image quality in motion is excellent. By default the Overdrive setting is set to Medium and it has some very minor ghosting visible in the Blur Busters test, but I havent noticed any ghosting at all while playing any games, even FPS games. I have no idea what the response time is when overdrive is set to medium, but it seems low enough to not think about. I actually forgot I hadnt changed it until typing this. 165Hz over Display Port is a nice bonus. Adaptive Sync works as expected, even on an Intel GPU. On Intel Arc the Variable Refresh Rate Range supports 48Hz - 165Hz. Though IIRC FreeSync is supposed to support as low as 30Hz. This may just be an Intel support issue. Cons: The monitor is scary thin. The top half of the monitor is basically just a plastic cover for the back of the panel. There is no structure holding the top half of the panel. Im worried Im going to bend the panel when adjusting the tilt. On one hand its really impressive how thin this monitor is, on the other hand it just feels very fragile. Bending your screen while adjusting the tilt would have to be the most stupid way of breaking your monitor of all time. If it falls over somehow, its 100% going to damage the panel. Theres just no structure protecting the panel IMO. Perhaps on the next version Sceptre should add a little structural rigidity for peace of mind. Stand is comically short. Though it is quite wide so it isnt tipping over easily. PS Shout out to the seller, who shipped immediately. The package arrived like 5 days early. I had to sign for it, so FedEx didnt just leave my brand new monitor on the porch. Which I appreciate.

Overall love the monitor very smooth 165hz but only issue are 3 dead pixels but I didn’t even notice them at first until I was on a all white screen so it’s not that big of a deal to me monitor is still perfect otherwise.

This monitor is good for gaming. Not great. Once you start using the monitor youll notice a weird picture frame lag. Its almost hard to notice but the better you quick reflexes are for gaming the more you notice it. Though you will get use to it. I mainly notice it in games where the picture frame is changing rapidly like GTA V or Warzone dropping. But its not enough for me to return it. I absolutely love these monitors. The edge-less design makes it nice for a duel monitor set up. The speakers are almost not existent though. At full power i could barely hear a thing. So either get a headset or spend a bit on a nice speaker set up.

Great for gaming laptops or pcs give the most it can give out of everything good colors nice response time as it is 1 ms and overall nice monitor worth every penny and very affordable.

Very clear and excellent monitor

Ive only had this hooked up for a couple hours, but Im pretty blown away so far. - No dead pixels. - Up to 165hz refresh rate with DisplayPort (cable included). - Brightness, contrast, and color range are fantastic at default settings. Best Ive ever seen. - FreeSync is an option if you want to give it a try. - The vertical viewing range is excellent. - The horizontal viewing range is decent. One con: I dont like the included tripod mount. Its short, and it has three small points of contact with the desk, so Im buying an aftermarket mount. Luckily the monitor has the four standard screw sockets in the back so it can take an aftermarket mount. Im not letting this take away from a 5-star rating because the value is still very good. Hard to imagine how a monitor could get meaningfully better than this. Best monitor Ive owned, and at under $200 its a steal.

I bought this as my first gaming monitor. Its bright, no dead pixels that Ive noticed and works as intended, but it took me a very long time to get it to work. Since this is my first monitor for my first pc, I didnt know why it wasnt working when I turned it on with the DisplayPort cable that was provided. After going through countless videos on youtube, and threads on reddit, I finally came upon a video that said to try booting up using a HDMI cable. So after hours of worrying that Id have to return this item and wait another week for a new monitor to arrive, I decided to buy a Hdmi cable. Finally, it worked. I got the HDMI 2.0 cable, so that I could use it at 144hz. ALSO, one of the screws on the stem just doesnt go into place. I tried 30 minutes trying to screw it into place and even used a drill, but no use. It still stands up, but its wobbly, and it worries me. Very disappointed...
