Sceptre 22 Inch LED 1080p Monitor E225W-1920 1920x1080 HDMI DVI VGA True Black, 2017

This monitor was purchased for $80 which is a steal for the specs this thing has. However, it has a couple flaws that are unacceptable in this climate of ever-advancing technology, even with a fantastic price tag. Read on for more info. PROS: -VGA, DVI, and HDMI inputs. Thats a ton of connectivity options for a monitor in this class. -Low response time CONS: -Blue color output is wrong. Light blues show up fine, but as the shades turn darker they become purple in color. I am very fussy about my monitors color calibration, and this is very disappointing. -Vertical viewing angle is atrocious. This is by far the worst monitor Ive seen regarding this. Even at a viewing distance of 2x the screen diagonal (44") which is pretty far away for a screen this size, the screen changes hues drastically from the top to the bottom. -Too small. This one isnt a manufacturing problem, but more of a preference. Id say 24" is the bare minimum for a 1080p display as the icons and text much on this 22" display are much too small. I applied a custom scaling resolution to windows 10 at 108% and it made using the monitor much more bearable. -Crooked Base. Once assembled, my monitor leaned to one side and was 1/2" crooked from one end to the other. I had to remove the base and grind some material away from the stem to make it sit level. It was very easy to do, but this should not be required. -DOWN button turns off monitor, sometimes. This one baffles me. When trying to adjust my monitor, the DOWN button would occasionally cause the monitor to turn off. This was VERY frustrating as I had to turn on my monitor about 30 times before I was done calibrating it. Luckily, I shouldnt ever need to touch it again, but this was quite annoying. As you can see, the list of cons is far longer than that of the pros. For this reason, I cannot recommend this monitor unless all of the following apply to your situation: 1- You can still find this monitor for sub-$90 2- You need a smaller monitor to fit a small footprint. 3- You dont perform work that requires absolute color accuracy.

The monitor is a little finicky, I had to use a couple of different HMDI cables to get a crisp image. The colors seem pretty accurate. The speakers on the back are not very good, they give off a higher pitch and are tinny. You get used to it a bit, but if you are going to watch movies or listen to music, you will need to get standalone speakers. One annoying thing, when my laptop is idle it is programmed to turn off the screen after 10 minutes, When this happens, I will wake the laptop but the monitor will not come back on. Even if I turn it off and back on, it will not realize any signal is coming from the HDMI port. I have to physically unplug it then plug it back in. The HP monitor I use at work does not do this. Overall for the price it is ok, but I would rather spend a little more for something that work better.

Ive only had these monitors (I bought two) for a few days. I wanted to try them because they were the cheapest 22" 1080p option. They look good, but both arrived with a dead pixel. For the price, I dont think its worth returning, its just disappointing. Still a big step up over my 10-year old monitor. The sound is not good either. Definitely need your own speakers. But I do appreciate that they came with a few cables so I didnt need to go buy any new hdmi or dvi cables. One thing worth noting is they arrived in retail packaging only. So if youre worried about the delivery person leaving a box at your house when youre not there, you should know that this monitor is displayed on the packaging.
