Review on Sceptre E255B-FWD168 FreeSync DisplayPort Speakers: 165Hz, 1080p, Swivel, Flicker-Free, Tilt & Height Adjustment by Kenny Steinhoff

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's amazing what it is

Keep in mind I haven't had a chance to test it yet, but considering the price of a 165Hz display, it's great! The monitor comes with an aluminum stand that requires assembly. It was pretty easy and even came with a small Zepter brand screwdriver. The stand only allows you to adjust the viewing angle. There is no vertical or lateral adjustment. You must physically rotate and/or place the entire monitor on a monitor stand to achieve any desired height. But that's not surprising in this price range. The frame is quite thin on the top and sides. I hooked it up to an old system my kids play games on. Currently connected to ASUS Dual Fan GTX 1650 via DP. The system runs Windows 10 and it's easy to set up to use the OS's 165Hz refresh rate, no problem. Picture and colors are good. From the side I can see that the image lacks relative brightness and quality, but this is normal and not a problem for its intended use as an everyday kids gaming monitor. The power button and OSD controls are located on the right rear of the monitor. Advertisement. They're a little bulky, but that's normal for a monitor. I turned on FreeSync and adjusted the speaker volume. As expected, the speakers sound a bit tinny, but offer a decent volume. The quality of this display is not what you would expect from a high-end gaming monitor. However, as long as you moderate your expectations appropriately, I think you'll be happy with this monitor. It offers excellent value for money and is now only slightly more expensive than a 75Hz general purpose display.

Pros
  • The picture quality is made for gaming, if you use it for something else I don't recommend it.
Cons
  • It's terrible, don't even look around, don't buy it
