> 3 dayThis is a great budget 1080p monitor. I use this as a secondary monitor to help with multi-tasking and also have my PS4 connected to it. There are obvious pros and cons to this monitor, but keep the price in mind. Pros: Matte finish to help against glare Plenty of options to adjust picture Blue light shift has multiple levels of adjustment to make picture warmer if desired VESA mountable Built in speakers Price Cons: Speaker output quality LED indicator (subjective) For an IPS panel (stated by vendor in questions section) this doesnt have the greatest viewing angles The included stand is a bit wobbly All ports face downward (subjective) The Pros of the monitor are pretty self explanatory so Ill go over the cons. -Although advertised as a 75 Hz monitor, its running at 60Hz in 1080p. But this could possibly be due to the cheaper hdmi cable I got for this monitor. -The speakers dont have the greatest sound quality, but I didnt expect much for the price. The speakers work fine if you just want to hear something from your game, but I dont recommend them as primary audio output. -There is an LED indicator on the bottom right corner (LED projects light downward) that illuminates solid blue when it receives signal, blinks blue when its awake and awaiting signal, and is solid red when the monitor is off/asleep. -Like mentioned above, the vendor answered a question about the panel and stated its an IPS panel. I also have an LG 27GL83A-B IPS monitor and the viewing angles are much better than the spectre. But again, keep the price in mind. -The included stand is a bit wobbly but I ended up mounting this monitor so I stored the stand. This monitor did not include hardware to VESA mount so ensure the monitor mount/stand has hardware or get hardware. -The power, HDMI, and VGA port face downwards so you may need 90 degree adapters for the HDMI ports to prevent the cables from sticking out from the bottom of the monitor. -Something else noting is the buttons on my monitor are in a horizontal orientation, but still in the bottom right corner. OVERALL: I researched a bit before deciding on this monitor and Im very happy with my purchase. Ive already recommended this monitor to other friends looking for a budget friendly 27 monitor and if I had to do it over again Id still stick with this monitor.

> 3 dayThe 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.

> 3 dayCan’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.....

> 3 dayI bought 3 of these, gave one as a gift to someone and am using 2 myself. Sceptre is an excellent value for the money. Impossible to find anything 27 for just over 100 dollars. The picture quality is fine - will need some fiddling around until you settle on the correct brightness and contrast for your use. I am playing around with the different User modes to see which one I like the most (trying the Eco mode now). The big downside is that the stand this monitor comes with is really cheap and flimsy. The stand comes with a setting that cannot be changed. One of my monitors is flat and straight, and the other is at an angle. I am investing in a dual monitor VESA mount. I should get that in a few days and I will mount both of these monitors and see how that works out... Overall, definitely recommend this monitor as a cheap, good option.

> 3 dayFor 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!
