​The Sceptre IPS 24” Gaming Monitor is an absolute standout. This is a great monitor that delivers excellent performance and, best of all, it's not overpriced like the competition. ​It performed so well for my mixed use—daily browsing, professional work, and gaming—that I didn't hesitate to purchase a second one to complete my dual-monitor setup! ​The IPS panel provides sharp image quality and great colors, which is perfect for my work tasks and general use. When it comes to gaming, the high refresh rate and fast response time make the action smooth and responsive. ​For anyone seeking a highly versatile monitor that offers premium features, excellent reliability, and unbeatable value, this Sceptre model is the answer. I am now running two of them and couldn't be happier. Highly recommended!

I've been using this for a few days now, overall it's a great product (especially on sale at $120). I'm glad I took the chance on a brand I've never heard of. Rumor has it that this monitor is using the same panel as some $200 monitor sold by ASUS, which is what really sold me on trying an unknown brand. This is replacing an older 60Hz TN monitor for me, and I've only used TN panels (It's been a long time since I bought a monitor). So maybe take this with a grain of salt. I've also been using the monitor defaults for testing it out. Pros: No frills or gimmicks. Just a monitor that displays an image. On the back every video input is clearly labeled like in the image, and says exactly what version of HDMI each port supports. Instead of guessing, or looking up the manual. Bezel is almost non-existent. Stand is made out of metal, just a nice touch. Color quality is excellent out of the box, I haven't even bothered calibrating colors yet. Blacks are actually black. Whites are blinding, but white. Blue really pops, Red and Green seem good but don't pop as much as blue. The color quality between the TN panels and IPS is night and day better. General image quality is crisp and clear. Text looks crisp, I'm noticing minor details in shadows from movies and games I couldn't see before. The DPI on this monitor seems much higher than my previous TN. Or its just the difference between how TN and IPS pixels are made? Image quality in motion is excellent. By default the Overdrive setting is set to "Medium" and it has some very minor ghosting visible in the Blur Busters test, but I haven't noticed any ghosting at all while playing any games, even FPS games. I have no idea what the response time is when overdrive is set to medium, but it seems low enough to not think about. I actually forgot I hadn't changed it until typing this. 165Hz over Display Port is a nice bonus. Adaptive Sync works as expected, even on an Intel GPU. On Intel Arc the "Variable Refresh Rate Range" supports 48Hz - 165Hz. Though IIRC FreeSync is supposed to support as low as 30Hz. This may just be an Intel support issue. Cons: The monitor is scary thin. The top half of the monitor is basically just a plastic cover for the back of the panel. There is no structure holding the top half of the panel. I'm worried I'm going to bend the panel when adjusting the tilt. On one hand it's really impressive how thin this monitor is, on the other hand it just feels very fragile. Bending your screen while adjusting the tilt would have to be the most stupid way of breaking your monitor of all time. If it falls over somehow, it's 100% going to damage the panel. There's just no structure protecting the panel IMO. Perhaps on the next version Sceptre should add a little structural rigidity for peace of mind. Stand is comically short. Though it is quite wide so it isn't tipping over easily. PS Shout out to the seller, who shipped immediately. The package arrived like 5 days early. I had to sign for it, so FedEx didn't just leave my brand new monitor on the porch. Which I appreciate.

PROS: The picture and color depth. Especially for price point!!!!! Worth every penny!! This monitor blew me away. Yes, I know it's 1080P but for better FR I'm thoroughly satisfied with this monitor. I did have to change settings to get picture brighter and turn on other features I use I'm a huge fan of Sceptre monitors, they are the only ones I've owned. The speakers are awful but that is NOT why I got it!! The picture quality and brightness at 320nitts according to Sceptre's website. The size is perfect for me, not too big I don't find myself having to constantly move my head or scan outside peripheral vision. Makes for a better experience during fast-paced shooter games. Of course this can be obtained by distancing myself from the monitor. So if you're sceptical of it just buy it. It's worth it!! Plus, it's Amazon it's not like they won't honor an exchange or whatever. CONS: I will say the only negative this about ALL Scepter monitors had the power cord course a MAJOR update. It's not very long of a cord and the power brick is awkward and large. The stand was no issue for me since I use a different one but the included one is effective just don't expect to wiggle it around.

Nice image quality at a decent 165hz refresh rate! I can see the backlighting when viewing darker images and, while it was quite annoying and almost deal breaking at first, my eyes have basically gotten used to it and I barely notice it anymore. I'd honestly be willing to buy another one for a second monitor!

So, I'm going to address the elephant in the room first. I purchased this monitor in August of 2020. It did work great for 90% of the year that I owned it. It reaches 165hz natively without needing to do any kind of overclocking or the like. It has a nice response time in games and is a decent size without being overly large in the event you want a multi-monitor setup. It more than fits the bill for its price point. However, I said it worked great for 90% of the year. This is because the monitor developed some white spots that obscured vision and were very unpleasing to look at around June of 2021. The reason as to why this review still has 5 stars is because of the absolutely amazing customer service Sceptre provided me. I contacted the TA email, and they asked me for the standard stuff: make and model, what the model # was, etc. Then, they told me to make an RMA request to get it fixed. This was done for free, even without having any kind of warranty or insurance. Furthermore, they even provided me with packaging to safely ship the monitor with, and a new adapter/stand upon its return after being fixed free of charge. All I had to pay was for the shipping of the package itself. So while I did have a minor cosmetic issue, (some white spots showing up on the monitor), the amazing customer service and overall reliability of the monitor otherwise let me confidently write out a 5-star review. You're a great company Sceptre, and I'll make sure to keep you guys in mind for future tech purchases.

I have two of these monitors. I bought the first long ago. It had mobility and tilt range issues, a so-so menu, so-so speakers, but otherwise a good monitor at a good price. I propped it up and it was suitable. I bought the second hoping to get a color match between my monitors, but was shocked to see it didn't match! Shocked more though, because I noted that the frequency for the screen was also higher! 165 to 180 Hz. The company had addressed the tilt issues, had updated the menu, and otherwise proved themselves to listen to customer feedback. So-so speakers still, but I don't get monitors for speakers so that doesn't matter to me. I took a chance on this company and I am glad I did. I wasn't pleased to not get the color match I sought, but I got it reasonably close adjusting the levels between the two. I am also happy for the improvements, so overall I am happy with both of my purchases. If you want to buy a set of 2 or 3 or 4 or what have you, do it all at once if you want the colors to match. The manufacturer may update the design on you, but so far only in good ways.

It works out of the gate just fine and seems like a good deal for a cheap 165hz 1080p monitor. The monitor seems to have a lifespan of roughly 1 to 2 years before pixels completely start dying though. A thin horizontal line appears at the bottom of the monitor and slowly starts spreading upwards until the whole screen dies. I saw the 1 star reviews before i purchased it thinking, oh that person just got unlucky, that won't happen to me as it must be a very rare error. All the reviews said the same thing, the thin line of dead pixels that spread upwards and lo and behold, mine died in the exact same way. The real kicker is I bought 3 of these monitors for a triple monitor display. Not one of them died this way, but TWO of them have this problem. One monitor is completely dead while the 2nd that is dying just now started to get the thin line of pixels. Stay away from this monitor, it is absolutely awful unless you want to have a temporary disposable monitor.

For around $100, you get a lot of great monitor features that usually seem like they would cost more, including a very high refresh rate, strong brightness, and great colors, at least to my eyes. Most monitors I buy need a decent amount of settings adjustment, even some more expensive ones. With this one, I only had to turn the backlight up, and it looked great. Overall, I’m very impressed with the value for the price.

So far, very pleased. I've seen this recommended by some Tech-tubers as an entry level gaming monitor, and picked it up on sale during Black Friday. Great upgrade for my son, and he seems very pleased. Nice colors, brightness, etc, given the bargain level price. Seems to support AMD Freesync too, which is nice to have.

La versión qué compre es de 165 hz a través de display port y 144 hz a través de hdmi, sin embargo esto no es del todo cierto, a través del puerto hdmi conseguí fácilmente 165 hz desde mi laptop (en la imagen que adjunte pueden comprobar qué la entrada es hdmi a 165hz), la grafica es una rtx 2060, utilice un cable común y corriente, incluso lo probé con el cable qué incluye la nintendo switch y sin ningún problema logra los 165 hz, hice algunas pruebas para asegurarme de que esto era correcto, efectivamente puedes notar la diferencia entre 165 y 144 por lo que puedo asegurar que la entrada hdmi del monitor soporta 165 hz a pesar de estar marcado como 144 en las especificaciones, por lo que si tu laptop no cuenta con salida display port no tienes de que preocuparte, siempre y cuando tu pc sea capaz de manejar los 165 hz. He escuchado que en algunas laptops con gráficos integrados, o incluso algunas con tarjeta de video dedicada no logran llegar a los 144 o 165, sin embargo si tu pc es relativamente moderna y cuenta con tarjeta de video dedicada muy probablemente no tengas problema. El monitor es excelente, muy buenos angulos de visión, buena calidad, sin ghosting en lo absoluto gracias al overdrive, no existe latencia en lo absoluto (cosa que he experimentado en otros monitores al conectar mi laptop a ellos), es un 9 de 10, para darle el 10 solo mejoraría las bocinas, a pesar de ello las bocinas se escuchan alto y el sonido es totalmente claro, pero hay una ausencia total de graves.

My sons each got one for Christmas the picture and quality are fantastic!!

Muy buena calidad para ser mi primer monitor y esta de locos

This was the best bang for my buck at the time I got this. I compared with many monitors on stats and reviews as I do a lot of gaming. I'm glad I got this. I bought two of them, have had them for about a year maybe longer and still satisfied. For 1080p and high refresh rate this monitor is perfect. In the future I would like to get a 2k monitor though with about all the same specs maybe 240hz
