Review on Sceptre C248W 1920R Monitor: Curved DisplayPort Screen with Built-In Speakers, Wall Mountable & Flicker-Free Technology - C248W-1920R by Chad Castillo

Setting up this monitor is very easy. Using the included screwdriver to attach the base couldn't be easier. In addition, the Zepter screwdriver is now almost legendary and will definitely find a place in your tool box. The stand looks good and has decent vertical tilt. No pan or height adjustment, but that's to be expected at this price point. An HDMI cable is also included. The screen uses VA technology for superior color reproduction and even better contrast. For everyday tasks like working and multimedia consumption, it is very pleasing. The 75Hz refresh rate is also a nice improvement over the standard 60Hz. Mousing around the screen and scrolling through long webpages and newsfeeds is noticeably smoother. The curved screen is nice and wide and the 1080p resolution is a good resolution for a 24-inch screen. The larger the size, the less clear the text will be. My criticism of the monitor also extends to the marketing. Scepter advertises it as a gaming monitor, which I think is a mistake. VA screens just can't keep up with the fast-paced action. Compared to TN panels, the screen appears much blurrier when rotating quickly in a game. The 5ms response time falls far short of other budget screens that offer 1ms response times and free syncing, something this panel lacks. If you want a panel for gaming and can buy well, you won't find a screen with 144Hz, 1ms response time and FreeSync for much more. The Scepter has several panels that meet these specs, which I also checked. In summary, this is a really great monitor for everyday use, especially in the new work-from-home era.
