SceptreE249W-19203R 24-inch FHD LED Gaming Monitor 2X HDMI VGA 75Hz Build-in Speakers, Machine Black

I have bought sceptre monitors in the past, and I stand by them as a great budget monitor company if you want something that's reliable and inexpensive. I purchased these monitors as secondary monitors and vertical monitors for my setup. From my experience, I knew that these monitors would be good for work other than gaming, so I primarily use them for watching videos, discord, or just as an extra screen for when I am doing work. I overall enjoy these monitors, but I have two major issues that I had first when I got them.I love the monitors, and they could be a 5-star product if they tweaked a couple of things. I will talk first about the main advantages of the monitors first. Firstly, for $150, you are getting a monitor with decent viewing angles and a good size with 75hz refresh rate viewing. For the price, it is a very good monitor alone for office or schoolwork. It does its job very well and anybody who is doing basic work or maybe some console gaming would have a good experience with these monitors. Furthermore, they are VESA mount* (more on that below), and it has a good display, with a speaker that although quiet, does the job well without sounding blown out. Overall, it is a good monitor, and anybody who wants something basic will enjoy this monitor.Here are the cons from my experience, as it had a couple off the start. I first opened the box to find that it talks about its return policy on the box. This was extremely concerning since it is almost impossible to send this monitor back. Please keep everything (including box and packaging materials) for the first month you own the monitor. The second issue I had was the mounting brackets you get with the monitor. For one thing, the monitor uses a separate monitor arm, that is screwed into a bracket that comes out of the monitor. If you plan on not using any desk mounts or VESA mounting, then you will have no problem with this monitor. However, I wanted to mount this monitor to a VESA desk mount to use as a vertical monitor. My first issue came when I tried to mount the monitor, when I tried to mount the monitor to the arm by screwing in the screws provided with the arm. The first issue comes with the hardware included with the monitor, there are four standoffs and two monitor screws, but the arm needed four screws, so we already are set back. I found some old monitor screws that fit, and when I mounted the monitor, I realized that the monitor wouldn't fit due to the bracket secured on the back, which sticks out of the monitor to make more viewing angles. Again, this won't be an issue for those who are planning on not using any VESA mounting, however, it makes the process a lot more difficult for those who are planning on doing any mounting of their monitor with a third party device. It took me like 20 minutes before I realized that the standoffs that are included are for VESA mounting, which although makes some sense, also makes me question why to include the mounting bracket externally when it could have been included inside of the monitor since there is a cutout section that fits it.I see this question a lot, and I feel that I should address it here for those who want to game on this monitor: get a different monitor. First, this monitor is a 75hz 5ms, meaning it refreshes the screen 75 times in one second, and it responds 5ms after the information has been sent by the PC. There are plenty of 144hz monitors with a 1ms response time for this price, and I recommend that you look for something at that price. If you want something to game on for the long run, get a 144hz monitor at the same price, it'll work better overall, and be around the same budget.Overall I highly enjoy this monitor. I give it four stars since it works very well for what I need it to do, and although it has its flaws I wouldn't want another monitor. It could have been five stars, only if the price was a little bit cheaper. The price does go up with the blue light shift that occurs, but the $133 option is still a little overpriced, I would personally price this around $115 and it would be the ultimate monitor for the price. Overall, if you want a monitor for office work, then please consider this, it's a great monitor.

I am very happy with this monitor. I got it during the holiday sales and I was a little nervous because I really wanted a 4k monitor, but as a recent design graduate, I needed something more budget friendly for now. The only screen I could work with before I purchased this was my 13in MacBook Air m2 screen and obviously a 24 inch screen is a big jump, but I don't regret it at all! This monitor is light weight, easy to set up, the screen looks crisp with high quality colors, and there's many settings you can adjust to make the monitor meet your needs. The blue lighter is awesome. I'm usually in from of a screen 45-60 hours per week and it helps a lot. The only downside about the monitor is the stand. It doesn't feel completely sturdy and will wobble if it's bumped. As long as your keeping in on a solid, level surface, this shouldn't be an issue at all. I haven't had any issues with it on my office desk, but I'd love to see a a high quality and adjustable stand/base in the future. Great job Sceptre!

I bought this on Prime Day on sale. It is a great monitor for what I use it for. I have it hooked up to my camera security system DVR so I can see my outside cameras. The large 24 inch size makes it easy for me to see all eight cameras. I am using the VGA input since my DVR’s HDMI output does not work. I am also using an optional audio cable run from my DVR to the monitor. The built in speakers are good enough for me to hear what is going on outside (my security cameras have microphones).This monitor serves my purpose and did not cost too much. I would recommend this monitor to anyone who needs a basic computer monitor and does not want to spend too much money.

Let's be honest here, this is not a gaming monitor, despite claiming it can run at 75Hz. This is a budget monitor thru and thru. But the picture quality is good, viewing angle is good and color is good. If you're using this for office work or watching 1080p videos, it's actually perfect.Now the cons. This monitor's extremely light weight. The base is all plastic and carries no weight like your normal and high-end monitors. The ports are facing straight back rather than pointing down, which puts strain on the cable and ports. The power cable is rather flimsy and thin, I'm afraid the interior wire will break after repeated connect and disconnect. The last thing that falls short with this monitor is the speakers are weak, like really weak. You best get a sound bar or speaker.

Good price. Working well as extra monitor.

I've owned a Sceptre 4K 55'' TV for about 4 years and I'm happy with it. So when I needed a monitor it was one of the brands I looked at. I bought this a couple of months ago and never regretted it. I use it on my desktop, so 1080p was fine for me. Being a smaller screen than the 55 inch, to me it looks just as good. Adding in the price, you can't beat it. It was a easy setup, with the controls on the bottom right. The stand was a snap to install. The only downside to this. is the speakers. Their mounted in the back and throw the sound out that way. They could of at least had them throw the sound downward onto the top of the desk. I tried a test using some paper clip boxes taped to back of the monitor and it worked! Still like all build-in TV or monitor speakers, they aren't great sounding. Your better off with some 2.1 sound system. Considering the picture quality, easy setup and price this is worthy buy for anyone.

Great looking & sleek design! Tilts for viewing comfort! easy to assemble and install. Comes with a handy screwdriver that is pocket sized!! Awesome picture!! Blue light shield goes up to 40 percent shielding! Would definitely recommend for everyone. Priced at a great price point. Speakers are built ins, with a few tweaks on settings they are pretty good for built ins. Not the best but still good for what price you're paying! Hope this is helpful!!
