SceptreSceptre New 25-inch 1ms Gaming LED Monitor HDMI DP (DisplayPort) up to 240Hz Build-in Speakers, Machine Black 2023 (E255B Series)

I have had this product for two years or so, and i own two. I game almost daily, and these are perfect for me. I only have one issue, on the monitor i did use for gaming about 1.5 years in it had a pinhole tear on screen, i just swapped them and so far no issues and the tear hasn't grown.

Hello! Thanks for taking some time to read my short but 100% honest review. Before I start I want to say that I always spend at least a week with a product before I make a review. The amazon page said this monitor costs $400 but the page also said it was on sale for $168, after looking at the specs and seeing that wonderful 165hz refresh rate I instantly bought it. In my short PC gaming career, I've always had a 60hz monitor but it was starting to show it's age, going from 60hz 165hz felt amazing and I was truly impressed with this monitor considering the value. After a week went by I started to notice a blue line below the screen and I still don't know what that is, at first I thought it was the game I'm playing but that wasn't the case. Even as I'm writing this right now, the line is still there and when it arrived it wasn't there. As we move along I want to talk very briefly about the speakers. The speakers aren't bad they have decent sound quality but keep in mind they aren't spectacular either. It all depends on the type of content you are listening to.I wanted to add the photos about the line but Amazon isn't giving me an option to add files. I hope when they approve this review I can add them.

Have had it for two years with no issues. Sound quality on the speakers is not that great but I use a headset anyway so that never bothered me

Ok - let's be real... $179 for this monitor is a steal. Picture is great after adjustments (take that brightness WAYY down.) It's FAST (you may need to enable 144/165hz output in PC settings) and it works with G-Sync (Enabled in the NVIDIA control panel, it will say its not compatible but it will work when you apply the settings)A few things bother me about this display which is why I took off a star: The VESA mount and Connections...The VESA mount is VERY LOW (take a close look at the picture) so that it's nearly impossible to align with another monitor on a dual monitor stand without some rigging.The Connections are also VERY LOW making so that you can see all the cables while playing/working. It's so bad I feel like Sceptor needs to offer some sort of shield or cable management that would attach to and extend 1 1/2 - 2 inches from the bottom of the monitor to hide the cables.

The monitor is responsive, but the image quality is worse than a cheap LED/LCD monitor. On some days the monitor has visible horizontal lines that run across the screen. Turning the monitor on and off doesn't do anything, but they gradually fade away over time. I assume they use a cheaper manufacturing method to keep the cost low, but the image is horrible. I haven't had any backlight issues like some reviewers here are experiencing. Look somewhere else if the monitor is >$150 because you can do much better.

Pros:-$159.99 for a 165hz 1ms display with Freesync is an amazing deal, especially considering a display port cable is included in the box-Easy to adjust the settings and enable "overdrive" and Freesync-Thin borders means a cleaner look with a multiple monitor setupCons:-Speakers are pretty much unusable, you will need external speakers or a headset if you want decent sound quality-Some people have complained about dead pixels, I guess I lucked out but still something to be aware of-Picture is a little warm out the box but can be adjusted in the settingsOverall:Great monitor for someone on a budget, or as a second/backup monitor. I just got it this week, so I'll update my review if I find anything else.

It comes with a DisplayPort and not an HDMI port (thank god!). The brightness is pretty bright and the viewing angles are... ok.. When looking at it head on, its a little darker in the corners. Its sitting about 2 feet from my eyes if not more. The stand does come out a little bit in front of the monitor (about 3-4 inches) which for me, who has a smaller desk, sucks since I have to have my keyboard closer to the edge. The screen has a very warm tint, if I set it to cool or adjust it manually, its just too bright and the colors aren't accurate. Overall, 7/10 - Good for the money!

This monitor is amazing especially for the price, it has more features than this page says. Such as a 15° screen tilt and speakers. I would definitely recommend buying I am using it for my ps4. It looks great but lacks on some spall pixels. On really defined images they are kinda blurry. For example, the avatar picture on your account when you chose an account to log into. It's a bit blurry but overall great picture quality. It includes a display port as well. The only complaint so far is that the speakers suck. They are trash. My 15$ insignia speakers sound way better than them. Overall a great deal.UPDATE as of May 07 2020Monitor will sometime lose power and just shut off randomly.
