Sceptre 27-inch FHD 1080p IPS Gaming LED Monitor up to 165Hz 144Hz 1ms DisplayPort HDMI, FreeSync FPS RTS Build-in Speakers Gunmetal Black 2022 (E275B-FPT165)

I've had this monitor now for a few months and it has worked great with zero issues with pixels, connections, etc. Offers smooth and clear picture both within and outside of games. I'm don't play all that really intense action games that are FPS or whatever. Really, the most intensive games would be things like No Man's Sky, Homeworld 3, or Civ VI.The only issues I had was that the DP cord the monitor came with seems to have been DoA but a cheap replacement one had it instantly work. The in-built speakers are also pretty terrible but you can get a cheap 20 dollar set of speakers that would be a big improvement. But these are small things that don't take away from the reason you have it in the first place. A good, solid, decent size screen that will work for everyday work or can be paired well with a second monitor.

Extremely pleased.I've owned more expensive monitors in the past, but never thought much of higher framerates.Guess what? I was wrong!Long time gamer (first was a Magnavox Odyssey in the 70's before the Atari 2600) and WOW, my gaming went through the roof in terms of FPS based games like Insurgency Sandstorm and Hell Let Loose.Whereas I was at the top of the leaderboards before, this made my response time amazingly faster (making me feel younger too, lol).Seriously, less eye fatigue (I can go 24 hours looking at a screen) and use it for editing photos too which right out of the box is VERY calibrated. I also put a bias light behind my monitor (you should too) as it makes the blacks darker, colors more vivid, and eliminates eye strain at night or when the monitor shifts from light to dark, like with movies or gaming.I got this one on sale so it was a NO BRAINER! Previous purchase was the 25" version which I wound up giving to my son for college as it fit his small desk space in his first year dorm.One hot pixel almost center screen, stuck on green. doesn't bother me 80% of the time, even while editing. I tried various fixes but haven't used the monitor enough to care really (I use it a lot, just not in the capacity that it affects me as other monitor issues have like the dead ant that got stuck behind my laptop screen and looks like a large dust flake, lol). The 25" had NO pixel issues.Quality on Sceptre monitors has been SUPERB. The supplied DP cable is quality and immediately allows me to sync up to 165Hz automatically. Monitor was discovered each and every time by my Win 10 and NVidia card set-up. I have the Freesync setting on and don't know if it makes a difference, and also some kind of sharpening enhancement as I will say, the 25" was definitely different in the way Hell Let Loose looked, right out of the box. This looked... softer(?) and not as crisp, until I turned on these two settings and then, BAM!, perfect!!!I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PURCHASING THIS MONITOR!

Company extended my WFH schedule so I’ll have to spend several weeks more working remotely, and figured it is really time to get an extra monitor for my work laptop extended screen and hopefully for my gaming PC upgrade as well.I was particularly looking for a 4K/QHD monitor since I do a lot of Excels so I gain more cells with higher resolution. However I was told by my roommate that for 27” screen size, going above 1080p doesn’t make much of a difference. Well guess she’s right, here I am, for the same price range of a regular 27” QHD 60hz monitor, with a Sceptre 1080p 27” 165hz gaming monitor1. My roommate is definitely right, for 27” a 1080p monitor is way enough for the clarity and sharpness. Her 27” 4K monitor does show more contents but all letters and characters are just too small in return2. A DisplayPort cable is included instead of a regular HDMI one. Nice now I can connect it with my work laptop via HDMI and my gaming PC via DP, one button switch to work and one more button to games, with no more plugging and unplugging3. The screen itself is very impressive in the slim bezel chasis, no dead pixels or so, native 165hz, fast response time 1ms, rich menu customization and more. Basically it has everything I need to be a work/play 2-in-1, even in Excel/Outlook where most of the pure white color background is used, the screen displays the true colors needed. The only thing is you get 144hz only with HDMI, so make sure DP is used if you want to maximize the refresh rate4. Monitor comes with AMD FreeSync Premium certified, seems to be an upgraded standard of AMD FreeSync. Wish it could do HDR as well, will find out5. Monitor also comes equipped with speakers built-in, pretty amazing. I’ll say for gaming, stick to your over-the-ear headphones and for working where you might to be focus with some environment noise, speaker output might be something you need in certain scenarios so speakers are definitely a plusOverall this is a very nice gaming monitor, even for me half work and half gaming. Will definitely recommend to my friends and might buy a second one to do dual monitor setup to utilize company’s WFH reimbursement policy. Cheers.

Overall, a good buy. not my first sceptre product. I also have a 75hz monitor I still use for gaming at another residence. The only issue with that one, which I also see being an issue with this one is the stand. My 75hz cracked, and I had to buy a third party stand, which was loads better than what It came with. This monitor also has a similar stand construction: very flexy, and plasticy. I do not see it lasting... But if it breaks.. for the price point and value, I'll just buy another stand for 25 bucks that's heavier and durable. Game quality, in my opinion, is great. The step up from 75 to 144 was noticeable. No tearing with vsync, running at 1080p. Games like Division 2, MS Flight Sim, and RAINBOW 6 woke up with this monitor. Most people thing the brand is "off brand".. and in a way it is. But you're getting good quality at a lower price point. If this monitor lasts 5+years with heavy gaming, I've gotten my money's worth.
