SceptreE275W-1920 27" FHD 1080p 75Hz Monitor HDMI VGA Build-In Speakers, Metal Black

I've only had the Sceptre E248W-1920 24-Inch Screen LED monitor for a few days now, but I'll update my review if I run into any kinks/issues in the future. For the time being, here’s the just-outta-the-box review:0. Optional 3-Year protection plan by Asurion: I thankfully haven’t had to use this service, but if you’re super paranoid about the welfare of your devices like I am, that extra three bucks might save your assets later on. You receive the protection plan digitally, so there’s no paper waste involved here.1. The manufacturer's packaging: The monitor came in a fairly slender box with an instruction manual, the base for desktop use, an HDMI cable, a VGA cable, and the 3-prong power cord. (This didn’t come with a wall mount, or 3.5 M/M audio cable, or DVI cable, so you’ll have to snag those elsewhere if you need them.) The monitor itself was nicely padded with fitted styrofoam, and finally wrapped in that clingy plastic film stuff that gives nerds like me a small thrill to peel off. (ahh, that new electronics smell!) This kind of packaging was a relief to see, as things tend to get knocked around a lot in the shipping process and can lead to fragile devices being dead on arrival. In this case, everything was intact and not all roughed up.2. First impressions: This monitor is quite light to carry around, even with my wet noodle-strength arms, so that's a plus. There's some very simple assembly required that includes attaching the base and adding the necessary cable hook-ups, and that’s it. (I haven't tried to mount this on my wall because I don't trust my walls to hold up anything heavier than a poster.) As other people have pointed out, the "neck" part that attaches to the base sticks out a bit from underneath and isn't removable, but that isn't an issue for me personally, as I just have it sitting on my desktop. The monitor comes out of the box tilted forward a bit, but if you place your hand on the base and gently push from the top, you can adjust the tilt to your liking.The base and frame of the monitor is sleek and glossy, but the actual picture part of the frame is completely matte with minimal to no reflections visible while in use. There are a few decals on the frame part, but they’re the sort of indicative labels that boast a device’s features (Energy Star, HDMI-ready, and Win 8 compatible. My PC uses Win 7, and it works great.) There are external menu buttons underneath bottom right side of the monitor frame that are labeled on the frame that includes a button where you can switch from different cable sources (for example, if you have an HDMI cable hooked up from one device and the VGA hooked up to your PC, you can switch from one to the other with that button.) The monitor's built-in menu system is easy to learn and has a nice "transparency" feature that makes the on screen menu translucent enough that it doesn’t obscure whatever you’re looking at.3. Performance: Oh man, if you're upgrading from a lemon monitor like I did, your eyeballs are in for a treat. After inspecting the monitor, I found that it arrived with no dead pixels or discoloration (yay!)I used the "auto" feature for picture/resolution adjustments, and it practically set itself up. I played a few games with this thing and I already see a major difference in picture quality, especially with the lights and shades. Sparkly light particles in games actually sparkle. Shadows look like actual shadows. Colors are accurate and vivid, which is a huge plus for me because I do a lot of digital art and design. The LED indicator light on the bottom right corner is visible but not bright enough that it knocks your eyes out in a dark room, so you can forego masking it with electrical tape.The only disappointing feature I've experienced so far is with the speakers, which have a tin can quality to them---BUT, this isn't a big issue if you already have a sound system set up, or use headphones.Sceptre E248W-1920 24" review in short:Pros:- Lightweight- Gorgeous picture quality- Nice big HD screen, especially for the price- Quick, easy setup- Can switch picture from different input sources- Comes with HDMI and VGA cablesCons:- Speakers are dinky-No 3.5 M/M audio cable or DVI cablesMixed Feels:- Might look awkward if you plan on attaching this to your wall because of the neck that hangs down, but if that doesn’t weird you out, I guess you could use it to stick post-it notes on, or something.

I have purchased 3 of these monitors (E248W-1920) over the years. The first was when the listing was for a 60Hz FHD, and at the time it was a bargain. I liked it so much that a few years later I bought a second.The second screen was not the same as the first. It appears that it was upgraded (75Hz, thin bezel). It was fantastic except the VESA mounting height changed, and the screen didn't sit at the same height as the other.So, I bought a third. From the same listing. Got yet another monitor (upgraded again, this time 100Hz thin bezel with 100%sRGB gamut coverage). At least the VESA height is the same on these last two.This is all from the same listing using the 'buy it again' button. I'm almost looking for excuses to get a 4th screen, just to see which variant I get. Each seems better than the last.

Work great in my home office

packaged nicely , arrived quickly , plugged right in and work great . No complaints . Would definitely recommend for CAD users

I am now running three of these monitors and very happy with them. Including the one I accidentally dropped. No damage found. Works good. For the approx. 66 bucks that I paid for most of these monitors, you just can't beat the deal. They cost 99 dollars or more from Walmart. Very nice picture quality for my old eyes.

Wow, what a surprise this was! We had a small TV that I was using as a secondary monitor for my laptop, and very occasionally as a television, and one day, it just died. We were debating whether I wanted to get another TV, because we don't watch TV that often, or another monitor for my laptop so I could have dual monitors again. Then my son suggested we get a Fire Stick and this monitor so we could watch Hulu, Netflix, PBS, and Amazon Video. I wasn't home when it arrived, so my son set it up. I was really impressed with it when I got home.It has a very nice picture, really clear and easy for even someone like me to sit across the room as easily see text. I don't have to be on top of it to see like I do my regular monitor. We have the Fire Stick hooked up to it, and since it has dual HDMI ports, we have an HDMI cable running out that my son hooks his tablet to so we can look at things he has on his tablet, pictures and such.It also has decent audio, and can get loud without breaking up. Actually, that's my only regret, that since it's not a television, Alexa can't turn down the volume, you have to get up and do that, and the volume control is in the back of the monitor, so you have to kind of feel around. I might get it some nice wired speakers for it that have the volume control in the front.

these say “gaming monitors” but I don’t play games. I just needed two monitors for work.These were the most affordable 24inch ones i could find.They’re very thin and picture quality is nuts. They come with HDMI cable also which is nice.The only critique i have is the aspect ratio seems a bit more “wide screen” that a typical monitor you’d find in an office. It’s not bad….but just looks wider and less tall.
