Speaker updated! - my new rating

This is the second version of this monitor that I own. The picture quality is still good. The biggest improvement are the speakers. The old version speakers suck for me, they're almost inaudible at maximum. They're a lot louder, which doesn't mean they sound great, but at least I can hear them. I only use the monitor at work, not for gaming or watching TV.

4 years later - my new review

I bought this screen about 4 years ago and I have to admit I'm impressed. It's still amazing quality - HOWEVER there are dead pixels at the bottom of my screen. Zepter is a cheaper quality brand so this is to be expected over time. But in general, a very good screen is worth the money.

Good monitor in my opinion

I really like this monitor. I bought 2 of these to use on streaming services. They have a great image and are perfect for what I use them for. Good color and clear picture.

Great screens for office work.

I am using these monitors in a business setup and they currently work as two monitors for me. They're really good at showing people around me what's going on, and also make it easy for me to see what's going on on the site as a whole.

Ideal for working 8-10 hours a day.

I bought 3 of these for my homework as my old setup was giving me headaches (combination of different screens, different resolutions, sizes etc.). Put on a blue light filter and adjust the brightness and now I can work comfortably at my desk all day (as far as monitors go).

Not bad - my new rating

In all honesty, this is a pretty solid monitor for the price. The only thing I have to say is that the speakers are of poor quality, but other than that the picture quality is good (even slightly better).

Good screen - Wobbly stand

The screen itself is good. Nice and big, with a bright, clear image. However, the stand is the biggest weak point. This thing moves like a bobbing head when you type. It's almost fun. Luckily there are mounting points on the back so you can use it with a stronger third-party mount.

Excellent picture quality, you have to do everything via the buttons and the sound doesn't really require buying speakers

The price is right, but let's see how long it lasts!

I needed a cheap monitor replacement for my old 27" Viewsonic monitor as I really didn't want to invest any more money in my old Windows 7 Pro machine. But since new PCs with Windows 11 pre-installed are still not available, I had to take the sour apple bite and buy this monitor to survive. Out of the box I had to fiddle with a LOT of hardware settings to make it fit my old monitor. You have to go into the hardware menu and scroll through it, and the location of the adjustment buttons on the…

Excellent for the price

At $139 and 27 inches this is a great monitor but as you can see in the picture on the left the scepter on the right is an old V7, the white looks dull no matter how I adjust the settings it was as close as it could fit to the V7 but it's still cream colored and not as bright as the V7 but that's not a deal breaker for me as it's for the home office only.

Great value for my opinion

Good for the price! The refresh rate of 75 Hz is more than sufficient for daily/personal/business use. Wasn't bought for gaming. I would have to spend a lot more for a decent gaming monitor. The speaker is ok, not big. but I have a soundbar (Revain - Nylavee, about $42) that works really well. This is a very good, inexpensive secondary monitor.

Mixed thoughts - price and size yes

Well, it's not great and it's not exactly terrible. Sorry to bother, but the monitor does what I bought it for. You can't expect this thing to be as great as Samsung, Asus, etc. My home monitor replacement job, yes, I bought it myself because the company shipped the 20 inch unit too small and old. This monitor works for desktop applications and it's so-so. I had a stuck Pixel as did my best friend who bought the same thing. Needs some work but great for my work needs. Thought of returning it…

Great monitor for the price

This is a great budget 1080p monitor. I use it as a secondary monitor to help with multitasking and also connect my PS4 to it. There are obvious pros and cons to this monitor, but consider the price. Pros: Anti-glare matte finish Plenty of image adjustment options Blue Light Shift has multiple levels of adjustment to warm up the image when needed. Display (subjective) It doesn't have the widest viewing angles for an IPS panel (specified by the manufacturer in the question section). The included

Very good visual quality

Great screen and presentation for your computer at a reasonable price. Very good picture quality without eye strain. The only downside I found was the tinny and weak sound of the speakers. I'm deducting a star for that, but you can always add your own speakers.

These monitors are amazing - sharp and clear

I was surprised at how sharp and clear the display quality is on these monitors. I'm buying two of these (value) to get a better view of my work and play space. They easily mount to my new MOUNTUP dual monitor desk mount, a fully adjustable dual monitor arm that accommodates 2 computer screens up to 32" and weighs up to 19.8 lbs, a dual monitor stand that supports dual VESA 75x75 and 100x100 with C-clamp and base with sleeve MU0002. Which I bought at the same time as these monitors. What I…

It is wonderful! in my rating

I have bought two of these monitors and so far NO PROBLEMS! They look very nice and clean. Picture quality is amazing, refresh rate is great especially when playing games up to 60Hz. No dead pixels and no damage at all. The included mount is very strong and they are also compatible with other mounts. The only downside is the poor sound quality, but in my case it doesn't matter since I have external speakers and headphones. I think this is a great deal for the price and if you are looking for a…

I think it's a bargain.

At just over a hundred dollars, these are the best monitors I've ever used. Here you can get good equipment for little money. Advantages; + The cost is below the minimum + The assembly of the monitor itself is excellent (I'll mention the stand below in the cons) + There is AMD Freesync + 75 Hz is not bad for people who don't need to go crazy with games. I play carefree and don't want to spend a lot of money on a feature I don't need. + The monitor has a built in Vesa mount, very handy…

Great monitor for casual gamers

I was a bit skeptical about buying this monitor but it arrived fairly quickly with no apparent problems. The speakers are a little off, I've noticed that they sound a bit high pitched and some in-game things are hard to hear. But other than that, the monitor is great. I personally like the adjustment options and the tilt option of the monitor. I definitely recommend it for casual gaming
