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

Coming from a 22-inch HP 1080p monitor which has served me for 11 years, the reason why this 27-inch screen is $97.00 becomes apparently clear. This is a 27-inch 1080p monitor so the resolution compared to a 22-inch 1080p monitor is night and day. While clarity, colors and contrast levels are more accurate on the 22-inch monitor, this 27-inch monitor highlights weaknesses as a result of physics. Pixels are more dense on a 22-inch 1080p panel than on a 27-inch panel. With this monitor (27-inch), picture quality and colors are washed out, hard to reset, contrast setting isn't an option and pixelation is quite apparent compared to the 22-inch 1080p panel i currently have. For me, the monitor is used for work... writing and reading and watching videos primarily for information gathering and not video clarity or picture quality. The monitor is well built, has a slow refresh rate, and is of adequate size for the office. If you need a monitor for work or school... this one will do. If you are a gamer, artist, content creator who wants to utilize the full potential of your graphics card, this monitor is not for you. Value for money? well... if you need a monitor for office and school? This one will do. Gamer? ...look elsewhere, get at least a 1440p or better panel because this one will make you vomit especially if you are well adapted to higher refresh rates, accurate color representation and good picture quality. Why 5-stars? For my purpose, this monitor meets what i need for work and secondly, Amazon delivered a 27-inch monitor without breaking it... a rarity for Amazon.

I'm currently got my Chromebook hooked up to it and you do have to learn how to doggle through the unmarked buttons. Right to left I believe they go one through six or one through five we have to toggle or toggle between HDMI and vga. Once you figure that out, if you play audio on the TV by itself, it doesn't sound so good. If you play the audio from a computer or Chromebook hooked up to the tv, I can't explain how but it sounds incredible. It's like I added a 27-inch screen to my chromebook. It's not completely plug and play cuz you still have to press buttons on the Chromebook and that's alternate plus one of the top buttons usually the fifth button over from the left on top you got to press those two together. As far as the TV the button on the far right in is the power button. That only needs to be pressed once because once it receives a signal it turns itself on. And that is a plus in the long run. Hooking up a Playstation 2 you got to jump through a few more hoops but it can be done as well if you use the VGA serial connector. But, to use that, you must first hook up something with HDMI so you can rotate the screen over to vga. you better have the PlayStation on when you do this because it will revert to HDMI within 5 seconds if it does not receive a signal from the VGA. You got to have that PlayStation 2 up and running/ updatede PS2 fix! Get the PS2 HDMI converter with the power for USB... works better than the RCA cables :)

it is a pretty good monitor and worth its price but the base of the stand is kind of large but works well overall. it has 2 different hdmi ports so that is good. and i bought another because its permormance was valid and trustworthy. it also has very good colors.

Very good picture quality; however the stand is flimsy and it has broken. Also, the monitor's position is fixed, it does not allow either up/down movement or tilt. I would like to buy another stand.

I'm only a day into this monitor and can't speak for its longevity or how long before I get tired of it but so far Im satisfied for what it is, a basic no frills monitor. Screen is bright and I've been slowly reducing the brightness and contrast to adjust for my eye comfort. Fonts are sharp for a 27" 1080p, there is a sharpness adjustment that works well. I think a 27 inch is the biggest I would go with this type of resolution. Colors are nice and bright. I've read reviews where there is lots of movement on the panel and it will move (sort of springy) if touched but when placed on a solid or semi solid surface there's nothing to worry about. It is not frame-less but I don't even notice the frame when looking at the screen. In a world of PC's and monitors that most seem to be "game" oriented, this is a very nice basic monitor and for the money, even better.

The monitor is great for the price point. I wasn’t expecting anything spectacular considering it is not a 4/5k monitor.If you need a monitor for standard computer work this will fit your needs.What the monitor exceeds at is it refresh rate when it comes to gaming. I moved my PS4 into my bedroom because I work from home, but I’m going to keep it in my room because the quality of gaming on this is where it excels.The only two down sides I have is build quality and sound. It’s pretty flimsy, but for less than $150 that’s expected. The real and only issue I have with this monitor is the speakers. They lack depth and leave you wanting more. You will definitely need to buy external speakers or use headphones.Overall I would purchase this product again if I needed a second display or replacement.

This monitor looks great in both clarity and color. It is easy to set up and saves money! Less expensive than most other brands we have tried. A great buy! Highly recommend.
