Review on 🎮 Sceptre E279W-19203RD 27 Inch Gaming Monitor with Built-In Speakers, Adaptive Sync, Flicker-Free, and Anti Glare Screen by James Anderson

I've only had the monitor for a day, but am happy with my purchase. First I tried to cancel the order but the seller had already shipped it. Thought I'd try it and send it back if it doesn't meet the specs. I'm coming from a 12 year old Samsung T260HD 25.5" monitor, 1920x1200, 60Hz. It was the top product at the time and cost $329, but this one was only $109. The old monitor had screen cracks in games ( no g-sync or freesync) and the FPS gameplay wasn't perfect, especially in COD Warzone. If you've never played on a higher refresh rate monitor, this matters. I tried setting the monitor to 85Hz and then to overclock to 80hz but none of them worked so i tried the nominal 75hz with freesync and let me tell you i noticed the difference right away and even got my first win in warzone solo the aim was much smoother and i was able to stick my crosshairs on other gamers.If you use this for light gaming and a 60hz panel you will be pleasantly surprised.It appears to be a TN panel as the viewing angles are poor i.e. They are fine when viewed straight on - as it is being used as a computer monitor this is not a problem for me but be careful with the buyer. There are no dead pixels or highlights at the edges. Blacks aren't very dark, but they're decent, and the factory settings were fine in terms of brightness and contrast. Adjusted to your liking and satisfied. The stand is wobbly as others have said and I haven't even bothered with the speakers and neither should you. I don't expect this thing to last long but I hope to get 2-3 years of benefit from it. I wanted a monitor with a higher refresh rate (144-165Hz) but after doing some research you can't reap the benefits of a higher refresh rate unless your average fps is that high (144+ fps). With a Ryzen 5 2600 and an outdated Rx 570, I get an average of 75 fps in COD Warzone on high settings. In this case, the monitor is a perfect match for a 75Hz refresh rate. To take advantage of the higher refresh rate, you need to open AMD or Nvidia software and create a 75Hz profile. Once this is created, go to your computer's display settings -> Advanced settings -> Monitor and then select the new 75Hz profile from the drop-down list. Finally, you need to enable free sync in the monitor's control panel (in the menu options) and then enable it in AMD software (not sure on Nvidia). If you're lucky, you can overclock your monitor to a higher refresh rate. Just create a profile for 80 or 85 Hz, select it in your display settings and see if it works. If this does not happen, the monitor will revert to the previous refresh rate after 10 seconds. From what I've read it won't harm your monitor and it depends on the manufacturer how much you can overclock it. However, don't expect much from this panel. All in all, this is an upgrade for me in almost every way. Some people say that a 27-inch 1080p screen isn't ideal for gaming. I beg to differ. The pixel density is by no means excellent, but I didn't notice any difference with the slightly smaller screen (25.5 vs 27) and fewer pixels (the old monitor was 1920x1200). If I had to choose, I'd take the extra real estate versus the pixel density, which I think is only 6 pixels per inch. If you're interested, there are pixel density calculators. If you can afford it and your GPU/CPU can hit 100+ fps I would go for a monitor with a higher refresh rate. For lower specs, general use or a second monitor and at a low price I don't see why not .
