Sceptre C248B-144R 24-Inch Curved 144Hz Gaming Monitor HDMI DisplayPort DVI, Metal Black 2018

Here is a short review. So this monitor has very few reviews but I decided to pull the trigger. I have only had the monitor for a few days but So far so good. There is another 27inch monitor from sceptre that appears to be basically the same monitor just slightly larger screen size. There are several reviews on that product if you are curious. Monitor came nicely packaged. As others have stated it does need a little messing around with the setting to get the picture just right. I found that the gamma needed to be turned up on mine by one click think I have 2.4. I would like to be able to turn the brightness down some but on my black level test the setting of level 50 is the lowest you can go and still view all the black levels. So you do get a slightly washed out appearance with some images but it gets better if you turn the brightness down and sacarfice the black level. I play league of legends and on my gaming laptop with nvidia 1050 via hdmi to hdmi I was able to achieve near the 144 fps. I did have to lower my in game settings to get it but that must be because my gpu has reached its limits. I wanted to share this because there are many 144hz monitors in this price range but majority only support 144hz via display port. My laptop only had hdmi and usb 3.0 like many consumer grade laptops and desktops. You can buy a converter but that causes you to use up a usb 3.0 port as well as your hdmi port. I am not an expert by any means but the build quality seems pretty decent. I am not sure what type of lcd pannel is used. On the other 27inch sceptre stated it is a VA for this one I cannot find any info. Either wait it doesn’t really matter because if your buying this it is for gaming so you are sacarficing viewing angle and color accuracy for reduced input lag and faster refresh rates. I think it is definitely worth the buy at under $200 as long as it stands the test of time. This review is my own personal opinion. I paid for this product with my own hard earned money.

I think this monitor is fantastic for the price. Its hard to find something thats 1920x1080 AND 144hz for this price. The size is perfect for this resolution also. Very clear picture. Some were complaining about the colors being off but I think they look nice, perhaps a bit warmer than other monitors. There is one dead pixel towards the top of the screen, but its so small that it doesnt bother me at all. I hardly notice it unless im actively looking for it. Im very happy with this purchase.

I love the smoothness this monitor brings. It feels sturdy enough, it is very easy to assemble especially with the included screwdriver, and the bezels are much slimmer than my old 60hz monitor. PROS: VERY CHEAP 144hz Comes with required cables Comes with screwdriver CONS: Colors are meh, and took a lot of fiddling with settings for me to not notice issues. Backlight-80 Brightness-50 Contrast-50 Red-45 Green-43 Blue-50 Gamma-2.4 These are by no means any professional color calibration, theyre just what Ive found to be acceptable for my use. I had an issue with coronas/inverse ghosting when I first got the monitor, at this point I dont even notice anymore unless I am specifically looking for them. I dont believe it affects my gameplay, and hey, its a small price to pay for such a low-cost monitor. Potential issue: For some reason after I got this monitor, tabbing in and out of certain games, ex. Overwatch gave me a lot more issues while other games were almost immediate. Overwatch for instance takes a full few seconds of black screen and it flashes my 2nd monitor, while games like Fortnite or Team Fortress 2 are just a little blip as I tab back in. This could just be my system though, so your mileage may vary.

Overall it’s a very good product. It is 1080p and actually can put out 144hz, my only complaint is where the mounting bracket is located. It’s at the bottom of the monitor whereas my other monitors bracket is in the center. So other than my monitors not lining up this is a pretty solid monitor for the price.
