🔊 Sceptre C305W-2560UN: 30" Ultrawide Curved Monitor with DisplayPort, Build-In Speakers, and HD Quality Review

I've had this monitor for almost 2 months now. It replaced a 27-inch flat-screen that (didn't notice until I made changes) washed out colors. It is important that you know this for this review. Finally, you jump from a 1997 car to a 2022 car. , you will of course be amazed, right? My old computer died and I had to build a new computer. So I thought I should get a new sexy monitor right away. One of my friends has been telling me over and over how he would get a curved monitor that I hadn't even

Our display is 100Hz! We used the included Displayport cable and our options are 60Hz, 75Hz or 100Hz! I turned off the computer and replaced the displayport cable with the old HDMI cable we were using because I wanted to see what options I had now, a different cable. To my surprise, we had the same opportunities! 60, 75 and 100 Hz! Now we're going to use our old HDMI cable, which is still in good condition, so we can get sound from a reliable old GTX1650! I don't know what type of HDMI cable…

So I bought the Scepter C305W to replace the 32-inch 1080p TV that was used as my primary monitor, eventually ditching Acer's ill-considered 24-inch decision of 2014. Cons: + Aesthetically pleasing + Easy to use/navigate built-in UI + Amazing image quality + Blue light filter + Budget monitors done right - Speakers are relatively nonexistent - May not work for some in a dual monitor setup. Far superior to many monitors I've come across, aside from the obvious price tag of $400+. Visually it's…

A 21:9 curved monitor is virtually unheard of at this price point, so it's a plus for those features if that's all you need, although the curved feature is a bit deceiving. However, the 30-inch 21:9 monitor is a lot smaller than it looks. Can be for or against depending on what you are looking for. Because it's ultra-wide, the bezel height is roughly equivalent to a 27-inch monitor, which can make a difference if you plan to use two monitors from different brands. I'm not sure what "super…

I bought 2 monitors in April 2020. At the time they were pretty good for the price. And still usable today. A few minor complaints. Out of the box the screens were set to 60Hz and I had to change them to 85Hz. The second complaint is that the speakers are terrible. Not a problem if you use headphones, but terrible otherwise. Picture quality is good, colors are crisp and can be great after calibration, not the best viewing angles and normal motion blur. A large size may make it difficult to…

UPDATE: March 16th I'll be back. It worked fine and now I can't use it anymore. The monitor turns on but says no input was detected. Tried another display port, same problem. SMX. I only have 101 days. Works with my MacBook. For HDMI, change the resolution to 1920 to 1080, otherwise the screen will remain black. I bought a docking station with DisplayPort and connected it that way. I was able to use the full resolution but the screen froze and stuttered. (This is an Apple issue) I went into my…

I didn't want to get this one, but then I compared it and found it to be about the same size as two of my work monitors. (You are tall). I love the monitor and how everything looks on the screen. It's very smooth and I can't get past that corner. I can't understand why there are 3 HDMI ports and a display port on the back. Minus, however, in the speakers on the monitor. They're pretty petite and don't have much impact, but that's not what I bought the monitor for. The LEDs on the back add…

Great monitor, liked it so much I bought 2. Very easy to mount with the included bracket. They don't weigh that much. I'm using displayports and the picture is great. I don't play much, but I reinstalled World of Warcraft to see how it would look and it didn't disappoint. The reason I bought them was because in my home office I can open 2 taps side by side and read everything comfortably. This allows me to have 5 screens at the same time, which makes multitasking very, very easy. Now for the 1…

I replaced a more rectangular curved monitor with this one. It's really nice that I can now run two windows side by side instead of two monitors. Curve really helps with window glare behind me. I also have a Chromebook and a Windows computer, both connected to HDMI. It automatically detects which one is activated. My Adobe doesn't run on a Chromebook, so I can use a Windows PC for some tasks and a much faster Chromebook for other things. Excellent price.

So I have an M1 MacBook Air. I tried the whole multi-monitor setup but couldn't get it to work. I went for an ultra wide and saw that while browsing Amazon. For the price I thought it was a good monitor to try. So I just plugged it in and used it for about 20-30 minutes. Here are my first impressions. It was just plug and play. I didn't have to mess with resolution settings on the MacBook or anything. I was afraid that the screen might be too small. But I would say it was exactly what I was…

Bought as the first game console. I'm sure there are better monitors out there, but literally no complaints about the quality of the screen. I'm still learning how to tweak my settings. There are slight reflections that make the screen appear more ashen at certain angles. When you want to adjust the screen up and down or tilt it back and forth. You get a slight backward tilt, but no more. Setup was annoying as the display port didn't detect a signal from my GPU. Tip: Connect everything to your…

A good monitor for the price! However, be prepared if you're mounting it on a wall mount that you think will require some engineering work to make it work. It comes with a 75mm x 75mm bracket that screws into the part. placed where the stand would normally be placed. There are no mounting holes on the back. The screw is in the center and out of it I had to drill a hole in the center of the wall mount plate to make it work. In other words, the included plate (rather than the holes in the back…

Bought this monitor instead of buying two regular monitors for work. I currently use it for software development and it allows me to open all my apps and orient them like in a dual monitor setup without annoying borders and spaces between them. The picture quality in 4k movies is sharp and clear. Setting the settings on your computer to use resolution and field of view is important. I will buy more of these monitors.

I got this monitor in November 2021 while building my first gaming PC. The monitor itself was great and easy to set up. When I set it up the resolution was set to native 3840 x 2160 instead of 2560 x 1080 and I assumed this was because I was using the display port. The sticker on my monitor says "Display Port 100Hz" and the box itself says something like "up to 100Hz" so I assumed that's why it reached 3840 x 2160. But a month ago the max resolution had dropped to 2560 x 1080 out of nowhere and

Some of the reviews made me a little nervous, but I'm happy to report that this monitor represents excellent value for money. Arrived well packaged with all the necessary parts. I have it plugged into my Plugable Hub and I'm typing this from my 2018 MacBook Air as we speak! For €249 I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. I use it for my new job at WFH and it works great for that purpose. I had a Samsung widescreen curved monitor at my last job, which was fantastic, but I…

I bought this monitor over 2 years ago and it still works great. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the color is a bit flat compared to other monitors. However, once you tweak the settings, it gets cleaned up pretty well.

I've had the Zepter 30 ultrawide for two months now and I love it, they could do some work maybe put the vesa mount inline instead of screwing it on and there should be a way to change the backlight color and brightness and maybe let it scroll

The screen is beautiful, it just makes the games amazing. The responsiveness on my old monitor was terrible and this is the best upgrade I could ask for.

I bought 2 of these monitors because they looked great, especially on sale. I received them and was disappointed, they looked much smaller than what should be explained. It's ok so I gave them to my husband he needed new gaming monitors. He loved her very much. He used them for his truck driving games. He also had two monitors for the first time. then we noticed that the cable gets hot and 1 monitor shuts down. So we let it cool down but noticed the other was doing the same. So we let them cool

Generally good. The only downside is that after a few months I have 3-4 dead pixels. Not the end of the world, but be aware.
