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

I unboxed the monitor and first thing i realized was something jiggling inside the monitor. I didnt put put it together yet. So when i open the little plastic bags to put the stand together, i also noticed there was a missing screw so from that i figured out that the missing screw is in monitor.. i would have appreciated if there was a heads up at least..

165 hz, 1 ms, IPS panel?? Am I missing something? Sure it doesnt have G sync but this monitor is still awesome and beats almost all other monitors at this price point. I went up from a 1600x900 20 inch monitor by sceptre, and I am shocked about how much of an improvement IPS is over backlit. Brightness that it was set to on out of box was a bit dark, but it was easy to adjust to my color and lighting preferences. Some users say be weary of dead pixels and bad customer support, so be weary of that , though I havent had to deal with those issues and I am very happy with this purchase.

This is definitely the best monitor I have ever had, and it has brought me a very smooth and enjoyable experience. The monitor is definitely made of good quality material, and the port selection in the back is very decent. The screen does get pretty bright in my opinion, and picture quality is beautiful and clear. To add, the 165hz and 1 ms response time is a very nice novelty, and all my games have been buttery smooth. Overall, great monitor for the money and I would recommend to anyone looking for a decent monitor that is not overpriced.

Purchased this June 4, 2021 for around $180 and have had it since (Jan 2022). Out of the box it was perfect, just plugged in the included display port and have been using it pretty much everyday since. Luckily I have had no dead pixels at all. Per usual however, the speakers are not to be used for any occasion if the user enjoys quality sound but it isnt an issue for me because I use headphones while gaming. Extremely satisfied :)

Llevo un mes aproximadamente de uso, y no he tenido ningún problema en cuanto al monitor, tiene una calidad de imagen tremenda y los Hz son perfectamente apreciables, el brillo incluso es excesivo y tuve que bajarlo un poco. El FreeSync funciona bien con mi RX6500 XT, los colores se ven geniales aunque, en pantallas de carga oscuras, o un fondo totalmente oscuro, se ven zonas con iluminación dispareja en el panel del monitor, sin embargo no es nada molesto ni notorio al jugar. Es mi primer monitor de este tamaño, frecuencia y marca, mi anterior monitor era de 19 típico de oficina y es un gran salto tener este Sceptre, que aunque la marca no me convencía al principio, estoy totalmente satisfecho y con confianza de que es una buena pantalla.

Ive been using this monitor for about tqo months now, and it has been truely amazing. I bought it for $169.99 which I thought was an amazing price for performace and still is. It picks up input signals easily and is VERY bright compared to my laptops max screen brightness. I received the monitor with no dead or dull pixels at all, and still no issues the 165hz/ 144hz/ 120hz refresh rate makes this very versatile for many build types, and any framerate above 100fps is smooth like butter with no tearing at all. The stand is very stiff so this can be taken in different ways according to preference I personally dont move my monitor often so knowing it will stay in place makes me feel at ease. The legs on the monitor look very cool and have textured soft rubber pads under the legs where they meet the desk. The monitor is so good foe the price that i feel like buying another even tho i dont need another. This monitor can also support 1050p, 900p, 720p apart from 1080p so thats very versatile to other builds or application. I would really recommend this monitor to anyone on a budget, because the customer servic is also great, for around $170 id recommend jumping on that deal because a month after i bought it, it was $350 on amazon and sceptre website.

FYI: To get the 144hz dont forget to go into your Settings (you can type in searchbar if you cant find it) >> System >> Display (change to 1920x1080 if for some reason your HDMI/VGA cable isnt auto detecting it) >> Advanced Display Settings >> Display Properties for Display 1 [Display 2 as well If youre running dual monitors]) >> Click Tab Monitor >> Select 144hz and save/ok First Impression: I was a little nervous thinking the 24 might be too small since Ive only used 50+ TVs and more on console gaming. This is my first PC build and did research on what monitor size is the best. From the threads and comments best size is around 24-30 anything bigger than that depends on how far back youre sitting from the screen. Obviously its to each their own, but for me 24 was a perfect fit (sitting at approximately 2ft from the monitor). Everything boxed and packaged appropriately, came with Stand, Screwdriver/Screws, HDMI Cable, Power Cord/Plug and Monitor itself. Details: No dead pixels or scratches, Screen came in brand new condition. Great visuals, colors, and instant change in response time/feel when playing FPS games such as Valorant, CSGO etc. When browsing through Google Chrome/any Internet Source anything White on screen can be a little bright. You may want to lower the brightness down a tad if its too much on the eyes. I also wasnt expecting an FPS change but, It did slightly go up.! Win win! 1ms , I dont feel any input lag what so ever. Smooth as Butter. Timing and Game play has been magnificent! Hence, i was gaming on an old 720p 32 TV lol... Im all in all very happy with this purchase, Will consider running Dual Monitors in the future!

I use this monitor for gaming on my Xbox 1 s, so I cannot take advantage of it’s full potential. However, this monitor has been everything I bought it for. The ips panel is viewable from most angles, and the colors are accurate. The bezels are thin, and there are plenty of inputs. The speakers are horrible, but that is a small con. I have had 0 dead pixels after 2 months, and light isn’t bleeding out the edges. I recommend this monitor to anyone who wants a high quality display for a good price.

I have ordered 3 of these monitors and 2 of them have arrived damaged. It’s been frustrating trying to keep returning and reordering. Great monitors but they need to change from fedex to UPS or something because the box arrived damaged and so does the screen. It’s a headache.

pros: -all metal stand thats very sturdy -easy to set up -includes a screwdriver -includes a dp cable -monitor has an audio out port -stand is minimal and doesnt take up room on your desk -looks awesome cons: -12v dc power supply -minor backlight bleed at the bottom -speakers are utter trash, wear headphones overall this monitor has been awesome for me so far and the picture quality is beautiful. probably the best 144hz monitor under $200 EDIT 9/19/20: originally when i had reviewed this i gave it 5 stars but im taking away 1 star and here’s why: the OSD on this monitor is horrible. the buttons are on the back of the monitor so you cant see what youre pressing and sometimes the buttons barely work. then, if your monitor doesnt detect a signal within 4 seconds of being powered on, it goes into “power saving mode”. its really frustrating sometimes to use this especially if you have multiple inputs that you frequently switch between.
