Review on Sceptre E225W 19203R Monitor Speakers Metallic 60Hz, Blue Light Filter, Wall Mountable, Built-In Speakers, ‎E225W-19203R, HD by Kyle Dill

Pros: Speaker connections on the back of the monitor (especially the headphone jack) 75Hz refresh rate 5ms response time Nice picture Solid feel Wall mount Cons: Height is not adjustable I've had this monitor for 2 weeks and I really love it. To be honest I don't think you can find a monitor with as many features as this for the same price. I assembled my computer about 3 weeks ago and figured I don't need a monitor as I have an old TV and the old monitor is lying around at home. Unfortunately, once I hooked everything up, I hated them both! They really looked pretty awful. So I went no further and looked for a monitor. I really didn't want to buy speakers (because who needs OTHER extras?) and I hate wearing headphones because they usually get uncomfortable after an hour or so (I've tried many models. I guess I just have sensitive ears ) . ). So this monitor was the perfect solution. For only $100 (I think I paid $88) you get a full HD monitor with built-in speakers, 2 HDMI ports, VGA port, audio-in, audio-in. Output connector (so yes, you can plug your headphones directly into the monitor if you want! A great feature considering most headphone cables aren't long enough to reach the connector on the PC case) and of course the DC -Input connector for power supply. I actually bought this monitor FOR the speakers, which many reviewers didn't recommend. However, I am quite satisfied. If you're a music lover or plan on listening to a lot of music, you might not like the speakers. However, I enjoy them for a variety of activities. I use them to listen to music, watch YouTube/Facebook videos, and watch TV shows and movies. I personally haven't noticed any hum and the sound quality seems pretty good to me. Maybe I'm not very picky, or maybe the other reviewers were VERY picky, but the speakers are really nice in my opinion. This monitor also supports a 75Hz refresh rate instead of the base 60 that you get most often. Budget monitors, so gamers can get slightly higher frame rates than other monitors of the same price. I haven't played any games above 30 fps (yet), so I can't vouch for whether or not 75 is noticeably better than 60. In any case, the games I've played on this monitor so far (Tera and Revelation Online) have looked great. The picture looks amazing and the setup was incredibly easy. Just plug it in and you're done. The default settings seemed fine to me so I just left them as they are, but changes are easily made using the buttons on the back of the monitor. Some people are unhappy with this, particularly the fact that the power button is on the back, but I don't find it inconvenient. The power button actually has a different feel than all the others (it has a small bump) and is furthest down making it VERY easy to find by touch. I would say that this monitor is definitely worth the money!
