Review on Sceptre E205W 16003R Frameless Speakers Metallic Built-In Speakers, Wall Mountable, Flicker-Free, ‎E205W-16003R by Prasanna Brown

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not quite what it seems, but works great. until now

TLDR: Luckily I bid on all the bad reviews and got a good working monitor and so far it seems to be working as promised. The headphone jack sucks, but luckily that's not a problem as the monitor's sound is good. It's really only 18 inches and you can leave it on your door in a product box so all your neighbors and passers-by can see that you've bought the monitor. Read the full review for details. I want to assemble a decent little gaming PC and when I finally found the time to buy a monitor here is this beautiful monitor for only $88. This can not be true. I click and read the technical data. That can't be true reviews. About 300/4000 (4/11/2020) reviews were 1 star with audio issues, screen issues, power cord issues, 'one and done' then never comes back and just crappy craftsmanship. As they say, the 300/4000 numbers convinced me to at least try. I mean for $88 and with Amazon's return/refund policy the worst thing that can happen is I'm unlucky and just don't buy the monitor back and find a better one. So I ordered him. Get today. Plugged in. and held my breath as I hit the power button. IT LIVES! There is a major complaint/concern about the 1 star rating. I connect it to my laptop. I go to Youtube to check the audio. IT SINGS! Another hurdle/concern regarding the 1-star rating has been cleared. I then unplugged everything and installed it properly (I didn't install a stand or other parts because I didn't want to repack and repackage if I got an unreliable one). I assemble the stand, place it on the table with other things, and plug it back in. HE COMES BACK TO LIFE! I've included my copy of Avatar to test the 1080p they show for the monitor and IT LOOKS GREAT! CONS So now most of my biggest 1 star worries are gone but there are 3 non trading deals I have with the monitor. It has a headphone audio jack but the audio is so grainy and there is a lot of hissing. I've tried several different headphones and they all sound like garbage unless you turn the volume down so you don't hear the noise. SO the sound in the monitor is excellent, but in the headphones the sound is garbage. It also says 20"? I don't want to joke about "boys can measure", but really only 18". So if you're really looking for those extra 2 inches, they're not there. Finally, there is the issue of delivery. send to someone's house/apartment?! Luckily I was home when it was delivered and I received an email from Revain telling me my delivery was imminent BUT I wasn't home? Someone could easily see what exactly I ordered and take my porch off. Although I understand that Revain/Someone is selling - he is not responsible for the theft from the porch. They could at least make it more discreet and reduce the chances of someone wanting to steal it. Thank you and "May the odds always be in your favor"

Pros
  • It's honestly pretty good. I'm not used to 1600x900 yet.
Cons
  • Weak anti-reflective coating
