Review on Sceptre E248W 19203R Monitor: Metallic, 60Hz, Blue Light Filter, Built-In Speakers, Tilt Adjustment (Model: E248W-19203R, HDMI) by Jeremy Boatwright

I have bought Zepter monitors in the past and maintain them as a great budget company if you need something reliable and reasonably priced. I bought these monitors as add-on monitors and vertical monitors for my setup. I knew from experience that these monitors are good not only for gaming but also for working, so I mainly use them for watching videos, Discord or just as an extra screen when I'm working. Overall I like these monitors but I have two main issues that I encountered in the first place when I received them. First I will talk about the main advantages of monitors. First, for $150 you get a monitor with decent viewing angles and a good size with a 75Hz refresh rate. A very good monitor for the office or study for the price. It does its job very well and anyone doing basic work or maybe playing console games will have a good experience with these monitors. They also have a VESA* mount (more on that below), a good display, and a quiet speaker that does its job well without overwhelming the sound. All in all this is a good monitor and anyone who wants something simple will enjoy this monitor. Here are the cons from my experience as it had several from the start. I first opened the box and found that the box states the return policy. This was extremely worrying as it is almost impossible to return this monitor. Save everything (including the box and packing materials) for the first month of ownership of the monitor. The second issue I encountered was the mounting brackets that come with the monitor. First, the monitor uses a separate monitor arm that screws into the arm that comes out of the monitor. If you don't want to use desktop or VESA mounts, you won't have any problems with this monitor. However, I wanted to mount this monitor on a VESA desktop mount so I could use it as a vertical monitor. My first problem occurred when attempting to mount the monitor when trying to attach the monitor to the bracket by screwing in the screws that came with the bracket. The first issue is with the hardware that comes with the monitor, there are four stands and two screws for the monitor, but the bracket requires four screws so we are already behind. I found some old monitor screws that fit and when I installed the monitor I found that the monitor didn't fit because of the back bracket that sticks out of the monitor to increase the viewing angle. Again, this isn't a problem for those who don't want to use a VESA mount, but it does make the process much more difficult for those planning to mount their monitor of some kind with a third-party device. It took me about 20 minutes to realize that the stands that came with the kit are for VESA mounting, which while it makes sense to me makes me wonder why an external mounting bracket is included when one is in the Could be mounted inside the monitor There is a suitable cutout. I see this question a lot and I think I should answer it here for those who want to game on this monitor: Buy another monitor. Firstly, this monitor has a frequency of 75 Hz and 5 ms, which means that it refreshes the screen 75 times per second and responds 5 ms after sending information from the PC. There are many 144Hz monitors with 1ms response times at this price point and I recommend you look for something at this price point. If you plan on gaming long term, get a 144Hz monitor for the same price, it will perform better overall and be around the same budget. Overall I really like this monitor. I'm giving it four stars as it does its job very well and while it has its flaws I don't need another monitor. It could only have been five stars if the price had been a little cheaper. The price goes up due to the blue light distortion but the $133 option is still a bit high, personally I would rate it around $115 and it would be a better monitor for the price. All in all, if you need a monitor for office work, this is a great monitor.
