> 3 dayHonestly, it’s a pretty solid monitor for the price. Only thing i have to say is that the speakers are low quality, but other than that the picture quality is good for what it’s worth (even a little better).

> 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!

> 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 dayI bought this monitor because it has dual HDMI inputs and built-in speakers so I can use my work laptop and my personal computer. The first thing I did when I got it hooked up is hit YouTube, but it sounded like I was listening to someone talk at the end of a tunnel. The video quality is decent and Im using my Bluetooth speaker for the audio. The stand is a little wobbly but not too bad. Another dual HDMI input monitor I was looking at was almost twice the cost, so this is fine for a budget.

> 3 dayI bought this to use as an external monitor for my MacBook Pro and am disappointed. I wasnt expecting the resolution of an apple studio display, but the display quality on this Sceptre monitor is really poor. Text appears grainy and difficult to read and the ghosting even with the anti ghosting / gaming features turned on is awful. I bought this because I dont really do any gaming and just needed a larger display to setup on my desk to use my slicing softwares for 3d printing. Im using Lychee to place supports on models and the graininess of this makes it kind of painful on your eyes to place supports with precision unless you zoom WAY in. The brightness is fine and is comfortable to look at. It has a night shift type of feature built in, but you have to change this manually and it wont automatically switch when your computer switches and there is no ambient light detection to help it either. The speakers built into this monitor are exactly what you would expect for speakers built into a 100 dollar monitor. Theyll work in a pinch but this is not something you want to expose your ears to for a long period of time, unless youre okay with a low volume tinny output. The ports available to use on this monitor are great as well, but not of enough of a plus to outweigh the cons of its primary function as a display. Lastly, the stand included with the monitor is flimsy and on a super sturdy table top that doesnt have any give or movement, the stand on this monitor still wobbles at the slightest vibration. Reminds me of a jello mold the entire time Im using it. Overall, super disappointed with this display and I may repurpose it for use in my garage to play some workout videos off of a Roku or an Apple TV.

> 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 day... and its still possible I might, if it fails. However, so far, this monitor is really surpassing my expectations. Its bright, its clear, its 1920x1080 at 75Hz. The speakers work; not loud, minimal bass. Kinda like an old 9 inch tv. If I want to damage my hearing, I put on the headphones at max volume. I did a dead pixel check. At one point I thought -there it IS! - but nope, it was a just tiny spec of dust on the screen that wiped right off. Within the next 29 days of the return period something might go wrong but so far for $109 + the state government grab, this is a great monitor. As an aside, the monitors default sound level is set at 50%, you might want to put it up to 100% and control the volume from your software since, of course, there is no remote control. Also, if you have an AMD graphics card with FreeSync this monitor claims to support it. It doesnt support nVidia G-Sync.

Greater than one weekI bought three of these from my desktop at work and the clarity is great resolution works for me. The only thing I haven’t figured out is how to make all the speakers work at the same time
