Sceptre E248W-1920R 24" Ultra Thin LED Monitor HDMI VGA audio in audio out, Metal Black 2018

I wasnt sure about the brand, but Im glad I picked this up. Im using this as my sidekick to my larger gaming monitor. I was really impressed with the packaging and little screw driver provided.The monitor itself looks really great; super thin with clean lines. The menu buttons and Sceptres bright rear input color coding is a little odd. The menu buttons are on the back and are easy to use, once you figure them out. The monitor looks great at 1080p watching videos and has up/down tilt. Worth the money for sure.

This is an excellent monitor. As a software engineer who uses lots of monitors (but not a graphic artist) I cant see any benefit to other more expensive monitors in this size, unless you want specific features like USB hub or speakers. Its extremely light. I like the fact that the mount is at the bottom of the back, so it works well with monitor mounting arms that were designed for smaller monitors of the bad old days. (I place my monitor above my laptops screen.) The only minor disadvantage is that the VESA mount has only two holes, so it seems a bit odd when attaching a VESA arm. But its so light the two holes are sufficient. My arms brackets top two holes are open to the top (slots) to make it easy to attach, but I needed to use the bottom two holes. So I just turned the bracket and monitor upside down while attaching and it worked great. That may not be clear, but if you try it youll understand! One other issue I noticed later: the audio out. I cant use it with my wireless FM headphones at all; not sure why but it causes crazy interference. If I plug the headphones into the laptop instead, theyre fine (so its only the audio out jack, not radio interference.) Also, with powered speakers plugged in, if I turn the speakers up high when theres no audio being output (that is, not playing music or whatever), theres a very high level of hiss (white noise). This noise floor is low enough that I didnt notice it with speakers set at a normal volume for hearing computer beeps or listening at conversational volumes. But its obvious after playing music at a nice loud level, when the music stops or during quiet passages. I no longer have equipment to measure, but Im very familiar with these speakers and Id estimate the noise to be about -50dB.

This display is an anazing value at $99 you can not beat it. It is metal aluminum frame with a solid metal stand. The picture quality at full 1080p is amazing and colors are rich and bright aswell as the 75hz refresh rate is a plus. At first I could not get my computer to switch to 75hz and then I figured out it was the HDMI cable was incorrect you need a newer type cable I think they call it a 1.4 hdmi cable. Once I switched to the right HDMI cable the difference from 60hz to 75hz was like night and day. I got mine shipped super fast and came packed verywell with a nice well written manual. also easy to setup. What I dislike is that the buttons are on the back and difficult to get to if you need to make changes. the display is super thin and it really gives you a lot for the $99.00 the size of 24” is perfect for 1080p gaming or whatever else you plan on using it for. it feels and looks more like a $300.00 display then a $99.00

I bought this to replace my old monitors I was using with my desktop. So far there are no regrets and I am extremely pleased to say that this is simply an amazing product to invest in. The slim monitor is beyond clear and I am truly astonished at the beauty of it all. The borders are nice and thin rather than the excessive border in other monitors. The only downside of the monitor is with the placement of the interface buttons on the rear (Just takes some getting used to).

These monitors are amazing! Nice big screen, excellent price, excellent resolution, and small bezel making them perfect for a multi-monitor setup. I have two of these at work and had to get two of them for home as well. If I had the desk space, Id like to go with three of them! Ultra thin? Heck yeah they are! Its also easy for people not to realize that the two screw holes in the back are for a vesa mount as most people are used to have 4 holes.. but with such a slim, light monitor, you only need the 2 holes and it mounts fine. You do have to mount it to the top holes on the vesa mount because of the part that sticks out for the stand. The only negative I have is that the power button is on the back. That means you have to reach under the monitor to the back to press the bottom button. If you never turn your monitors off, its not an issue.

I am almost laughing about how I almost bought a different HD Monitor when I was searching for a new one, but at the last second, I was able to pull away and change my purchase to this completely fantastic, bright, clear and awesome monitor at an unbelievable price. One review I read someone said something about it tipping over and needing to brace it down. I was concerned about this but now, I have no concerns about it tipping over than I would any other monitor not to mention the stand looks great too. Video looks awesome. Pictures look awesome. Gaming is awesome. It was about $60 less than the one I almost bought and it was under a hundred bucks at $99. Id pretty much recommend it.

I mostly work from home but I do have a cubicle for work. At home Im very easily distracted but at work I didnt have a monitor beyond my laptop. I didnt want to put a lot of money into a work monitor but I frequently need to be able to view 3+ windows at a time in order to be productive. This monitor is big enough that I can comfortably view 3 windows at a time large enough that I can read. The setup was simple and I have had no issues with it whatsoever. I did buy to like 2$ 4 year warranty so Im not worried about it failing. If it lasts 4 years its worth the $100. It is super light and thin so it was easy for me to carry into work. Its also small enough that I can lock it in a drawer over the weekend (because with it being so portable Im a little concerned about it getting stolen). Really a fantastic deal!

I really like these. Ive bought two and need another. Theyre cheap, light and thin. I use them for work, spreadsheets and all that miserable stuff, so I cant speak to them for gaming, graphic design etc.. but they work awesomely for my needs. For the price, they cant be beat. I also love that theyre so thin and light! The build quality is pretty good, again esp for the price. The stock picture shows the corner looking really gapped out but it isnt bad in person, dont really notice any issues.

It took 10 days to get it. They sent it ground shipping. Yuck. Best Buy LLC. It seems if you ever dropped it or it fell it would break into a million pieces. It seems to be made very cheap. But the picture is great. Will see how long it lasts.. My son has had one for a year now and seems ok. The shipping box was beat up.l I really am surprised it works.. Also it says if you use the stand you need to get a strap for the back. It does not come with that strap.. It seems fine without it.. But that says something about the company saving a buck. Where else did they cut corners. The Chips. I hope not. The power cord looks like it would be used to power a transistor radio it is so thin. Anyway will see how it goes. $120 wont break me.

You cannot beat this monitor for the price. It looks and feels high end. Works perfectly with all my computer systems(Linux, Mac Apple and Windows 10). My MacBook Pro looks great next to this beautiful monitor. The monitor even came with a very nice screwdriver to install the base. I will buy a couple more of these monitors for my office set up. I will update this review if anything changes.
