Sceptre 27" LED Full HD 1080p Monitor (E275W-1920 Black)

(see why I knocked a star at the end) This is my first purchased monitor, previously I was using hand me-downs. After getting an upgrade at work I realized it was time to upgrade. I am running this monitor with a Lenovo W540 Via HDMI to Mini DisplayPort as a normal use monitor I am very happy, and for CAD work it exceeds my expectations, however as a gaming monitor, it is about what you would expect at this price, good resolution but a bit slow/ blurry. In some menus it also has a tendency to shake, but it seems to go away when the game starts(for the most part) as far as build, I am Extremely happy with the brushed metal plastic around the edges, and thin borders. it looks great and feels plenty solid for something that just sits on my desk. I also like how the cables plug straight back. So overall I would say this is an excellent Monitor for the price, HOWEVER (this is why I knocked a star), I have 1 minor complaint. The plug is a transformer style plug. so you will have a big box on the plug taking up valuable power strip space. Its not the end of the world, but I wish it were different.

This monitor is actually very nice for what I paid ($100). The bezel is very thin (5/16" stainless steel trim) and then maybe another 1/16" to the active LCD pixels. The bottom bezel is completely flat with the exception of the LED that sticks out about 1/16", but its far enough back that you could stack these monitors to have NO space between them and the minimum bezel for the money. I bought this one and love it, but I am returning it due to a white spot on the monitor screen. From what I have read, this is a piece of dust or dirt in the screen layers which causes the layers to push against each other and allow the light to come through more direct at that spot. It only shows up when the screen is bright white in that spot. I have already purchased a 2nd one for my wife but it will not arrive until tomorrow. I am looking to buy another in this defective monitors place, but they currently stopped prime shipping after a wild price ride they had over the last 48 hours. I will see how the second monitor looks when it arrives to determine if I will be buying again. The monitor is LIGHT.... its a featherweight. It has 2 Vesa holes on a 100mm pattern in the back and it holds the monitor just fine. It does not have speakers, but does have an audio in and audio out jacks, but I have no idea why. I recommend this monitor as it is a 24" monitor and looks great, so slim. But I am giving 4 stars for the defect, but based on the rest of the great reviews, I just got a 1/1000 bad monitor.

As a college student, price was my main consideration, and this monitor delivers at this price point. I use it as a secondary display for my MS surface book, run through a surface dock. It functions beautifully. The form factor, between the thin profile and thin bezel, is perfect for my little dorm room. As far as monitor performance, its not the best, but it does everything I need it to. The black/contrast levels are underwhelming, but in all fairness, Im going constantly between this and the surface book, whose screen can thrash pretty much everything, let alone a monitor thats 1/22 the price. Video plays beautifully, even at 60FPS. That said, I dont game much, but I wouldnt expect greatness from this monitor for that purpose. I did once encounter some weird "snow" interrupting my picture, but cycling the power put a stop to it. Startup time is blazing compared to the older monitors I had been used to at home. Overall, great value monitor. Id love to try daisy chaining a couple of them, but Ill just have to wait until I have the room.
