1 year and many screen cracks

I've had the monitor for almost a year and have noticed A LOT of screen tearing and flickering on the monitor. For this price you could probably get a more reliable monitor as screen tearing quickly becomes frustrating.

Unreliable best in my rating

Looks good while it works but is far from reliable. It turns off by itself and you only have to wait a few minutes for it to turn on again. Unplug and plug back in, plug into another outlet, cool AC/DC adapter; fixes nothing. You just have to wait for it to turn on again. It sometimes runs for hours with no issues, but I'm writing this review after shutting it down for about two minutes every 5-10 minutes for 3 hours. It doesn't matter how good it looks if it doesn't work when you need it. I…

Good business! - my new rating

Since I had normal monitors at work, I wanted something better. So I ordered a scepter 6 months ago and wow, to complete my work in Oracle, Excel, Jira and review the web design I bought a second one. The only drawback is that the stand cannot be adjusted up or down, but can only be tilted up/down by 5%.

Good risk - my new review

There were 0 reviews when I bought it, so I took a 100% risk. I trust Scepter and am very happy with it. The base is one of my favorite parts, a cool round design that makes it pretty sturdy. The color is nice, but I'm not an expert. The 2k quality is just that and I don't play many games on it so I can't comment on that. I love the backlight but wish it was customizable! the only downside of tbh.

Not for playing, but great to look at.

Color is very bright but halos are a nightmare. (Let it be known that I've played IPS my whole life.) When I play Destiny 2, the screen turns into a watercolor, but I have to admit that the color makes my other monitor look like a faded 19th century painting. century. I would not use this monitor for any FPS.

Scepter monitors are great and this one is no exception.

The image quality is excellent for the graphic design I do. It has a great stand and can be hung on the wall. Plugged it in, turned it on, and here it is! This is my second scepter monitor. The first is on a different computer and still works like a champion. Good product!

DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY ON THIS RUBBISH

The first week went well. I started stuttering and screen flickering and was only able to fix it by switching to a different HDMI port. This was a quick fix as it now looks like the second port is broken as well. The monitor is now unusable. Don't waste your money on this cheap junk.

CAME WITH A SCRATCH

I'm so upset - after paying over $200 for this monitor and already throwing away the box, I found this little scratch on the screen - now I'm stuck with it forever. DO NOT BUY!

Bought two, both had display issues.

I bought two of these monitors for 4k and a decent 75Hz refresh rate. Unfortunately, both have display problems. Both have dead pixels (3-4) on the screen, but one even has an odd streak which is really a major gripe. I will not buy this brand again.

Bleeding backlight in my head

Both monitors I bought have lots of black highlights. They also seemed to hurt my eyes, I changed the settings so we'll see if that helps. I would be wary of buying these monitors and if you do, don't use the default settings they come with or you could experience a lot of eye strain like mine.

Annoying menu and flashing lightbulb.

That's fine most of the time, but you'll have to turn the monitor off manually if you don't want the blue light to blink. This is the only monitor I've ever had that only blinks when your computer is off. I have no idea what purpose this serves, but if you have a computer in the bedroom, it will disturb your sleep.

Great monitor, but in my review.

Excellent monitor as a monitor. As part of the technology I want to own, it doesn't. Only because the always-on indicator is very bright and flashes in standby mode. I turn it off every day after work and 3 stars for that. It really is that important and has changed my routine in such a way that it cannot be ignored. Seriously, seriously, the blue light is too bright.

The OSD and the power buttons on the bottom right make a difference!

It feels like a real monitor to me, although I've never bought a scepter, always a Samsung. The resolution is great, the brightness is great, but best of all are the buttons on the lower right side of the frame, dwarfing the ridiculous single button on the BACK of the curved Samsung, 27", I have next to This one I hated from day one, about 5 years ago! That single button on the bottom right hand side of the back of the bezel is almost impossible to use! So thanks Scepter! All the OSD buttons…

Dead pixels straight out of the box.

I'm giving decent stars in the brightness and picture quality rating because it looks good. However, it came out of the box with dead pixels. Which is just not acceptable. I would advise you to keep looking or save up and buy something else. UPDATE: I got a second one to replace the first one and it also came with dead pixels. UPDATE #2: I got the 3rd to replace the 2nd and guess what. Arrived with dead pixels. I give up at this point. UPDATE #3: I just noticed that the included VESA mount…

Constant blackout in my head

I thought I could play my very visually appealing games like RDR2, but I've been using it for over 2 minutes and it just won't turn off completely. I've tried every HDMI port and DP port on the monitor at every refresh rate it can offer and it keeps turning off and on again. I'm by no means an expert at this, but I'm definitely not new to computer hardware/software. Very disappointed. When you order this monitor, be very careful and better keep your fingers crossed from the order to the moment…
