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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good monitors with one disturbing flaw and one flaw that could be better.

So I got these monitors for sale and for the most part I am very happy with them. They look good and the refresh rate is good. Serves my purpose and does what it's supposed to. I actually bought four of these for gaming rigs for myself and my partners. The big issue I had was the mounting options, that stupid diamond design on the back was an absolute nightmare and required me to buy a universal mounting kit. to the hardware store to get suitable screws. WHOEVER made that design decision actually did one thing that almost made me return all four. Luckily I was able to install a working mount setup by spending EXTRA money on it. This is unacceptable and any future mounting screw designs should use more common sense. Virtually none of the desktop mounts I've had fit, and they've worked with all of my monitors. It's pretty stupid to be honest. The other downside, and putting the inputs in a better spot, you have to have small hands to plug in some of the jacks, and it took me a hell of a time to plug in all my connections. It's a minor issue, it's not an assembly issue as mentioned above, but it's annoying. If you're hesitant and want decent monitors, they're pretty good, but be prepared for a labor of love if you plan to get your hands on them. I was on the verge of getting her back before deciding to see if I could build something.
