Review on Sceptre U275W UPT 27-inch 4K DisplayPort Monitor - 3840x2160P, 70Hz, Frameless, Tilt Adjustment, Flicker-Free, Built-In Speakers by Adam Sacra

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The display does not fill the physical screen

(Upgraded from 2 to 3 stars because it's a pretty decent monitor, works well for text, pictures look good too, even with a border around the screen.) I would like to give this monitor more than (2) 3 stars, but I just installed 2 brand new ones and while I won't be returning them I'm not happy. The content displayed on the screen does not fill the screen from edge to edge. These monitors have a very nice ultra-thin bezel, but the display doesn't go all the way to the edge. There is at least 1/4 inch of black space around the "lit" portion of the screen. The product description states that the monitor has a "slim design without a bezel" - and that's true. The outer edge of the monitor is very thin, making it look almost borderless. However, the actual display doesn't extend all the way to the edge of the screen, so you still have at least a 1/4-inch bezel around the edge. Scepter tech support tells me this is how the monitor works. They call it a frame. So it has a really thin design, almost no edges, but the entire screen isn't usable, so it has what I call a "screen bezel". I've never seen a monitor like this before, so it's a surprise and a bit hard to describe. Next time I'll go to a computer/electronics store (like I used to) and see the monitors in action before I build one and buy it.

Pros
  • Highly recommended.
Cons
  • Something wrong
