Sceptre 24" Curved 75Hz Gaming LED Monitor Full HD 1080P HDMI VGA Speakers, VESA Wall Mount Ready Metal Black 2019 (C248W-1920RN)

For the price its a great curved monitor. When trying to game on it, 75hz is a bit low. I got this because the price mainly. Anything high end thats curved youll pay triple what this costs for a minimal increase in quality. I tried to watch a few videos higher than the lowest 1080p settings and it was clear. As soon as I went to the other side of the spectrum for 1080p I started seeing some pixelation. It was slightly noticeable, but not enough to ruin the experience. Pros: curved and good quality especially for the price. Cons: some tearing when watching high end video(no higher than mid range quality for 1080p or you will get some image pixelation...I.e.- blocks lagging behind ever so slightly.)

This is my first monitor above 75hz(okay technically 74hz but close enough). Despite what the reviews say, it does indeed do 75hz. My issue the first time around was that I was using a Display port to HDMI. (I know basic knowledge, we all have those days) Regardless the picture is pretty nice. However there edgless~ish. The black metal colored plastic (very rough plastic though) bezel makes it look pretty edgeless. But if you line 3 of these up and play Forza with the surrounded display turned on I see a difference in bezel sizes between other monitors on the market. The speakers on the monitor are far from nice. They are flat, but you can tell whats going through them at least. Overall its a good monitor for the price. Please, do your research before you write a review and make sure you have taken all the steps to troubleshoot an issue with the product to make sure it isnt user error.

The monitor works well and has a clear picture. There is a reflection on the monitor though, but with the curve, it isnt that bad at all. Its not really a gaming monitor per say, however its better than a standard 60hz monitor @ a rate of 75hz. Its good on the eyes as a business workstation monitor or for average home usage. Its light weight, and seems very plastic, but arent all monitors nowadays? Overall: Its a nice little monitor with a nice curve that allows your eyes to focus on whats important on the screen while you are working. Not to mention, the price is right!

I bought 2 of these. I have one of the first triple monitor desk stand. Well made and one of my 13 year old viewsonic side monitors died. ( I forgave it after 13 years of service).... But.. when I got these and tried to install them? I found the VESA pattern connect points are at the BOTTOM of the back of the monitor. I needed them in the middle of the back not the bottom of the back. Their location is OK if you have 1 of their monitors, or a vesa mount that will offset up and down by 3 or more inches. Mine can only compensate for 2.5 inches so when mounted and the compensation maxed out, these monitors were still more then 1.5 inches too high. ANNOYING! I had to either send them back, or purchase a compensation add on bracket. I actually found that on amazon and ordered 2 of them for my 2 side monitors. (my original monitor in the middle is not adjustable. The 2 side monitors have to move to match the center monitor. Fortunately they only cost $15 and free (prime) shipping. They work and the additional space forward (closer to me) is easy to compensate. These monitors have exactly same size and dot pitch as my main visio, and with there narrow side bezel, they are much nicer to view then my old viewsonics (1650X1050) Now when a box shows in 2 (or 3) monitors, the tops and bottoms run across between the monitors like a straight line. Top and bottom. I am so happy to have that.

Didnt really need this. I have a perfectly running HP 23 in. I just had an inkling for a curved monitor. I am not a Gamer! Out of the box the picture was just OK! There was too much backlight bleedthough. Using the units menu,adjusted the setting down to 20. Increased brightness and contrast and the picture now has decent blacks and very good whites. The computer is an older Dell OPTO 960 with an NVIDIA GT430 video card. Ive noticed a lot of questions regarding the inability to obtain a 75hz refresh rate. With the supplied HDMI cable,the video card thinks it is connected to an HDTV which only has a max rate of 60 hz. I connected a VGA cable and it now sees it as a PC monitor. Now I could get a 75 hz refresh rate but the monitor wouldnt accept higher resolutions returning an "out of range " error msg. Didnt care for the vga display,anyway. It lacked detail and crispness! Gave this monitor 5 stars because it is a good value!

Im not sure if there are some dead pixels or if there is an imperfection in the screen toward the left side of the screen. Picture quality is good, but the built in speaker is of absolute HORRIBLE quality. My 4 year old smartphone sounds 10x better.

This is not a terrible monitor, but it is not what is advertised. The resolution looks nothing like 1080, overall picture quality is noticeably worse than an acer monitor I have with the exact same same specs, and it is not 75hz, it is 60. All in all it is a decent monitor, but I bought it expecting clear picture and 75hz refresh rate, that is what was sold to me and what I paid for, but not what I received.

This monitor goes black after a certain period of time - it is not in sleep mode. Sleep mode is turned off. When the monitor goes black, it cannot be re-opened and the computer must be shutdown and rebooted before the monitor will display again.

I got it all set up turned it on and it had a big black spot, i felt the screen to see if it was chipped but it was smooth, there was a small bump tho, it almost looks like a nat or some other insect got squashed under the screen during production. Other thoughts on the monitor if it wasnt for the bug stuck inside it its an ok monitor for the price, as others said the colors dont pop, kinda white washed but if you dont have a side by side comparison with a different screen its not to bad. If it was bugless id give it a 4/5 for it being a good sized screen for less then others but with the poor quality control its at 2/5 for now.

I should start off by saying that I havent bought a computer monitor probably since the mid-2000s.I feel like when I see the prices of other curved monitors to be able to get two of them and I have this big of a display is amazing. I do wish the stands were height adjusting but oh well for the price I love these monitors. I did have to get a calibration tool and software the factory settings are no good. if you get these monitors and you have an issue with the colors and washed out look I definitely suggest the calibration kit well worth it.
