Fantastic option! in my rating

Value for money, I prefer it over my $200 LG 24MP59HT-P.PLUSE for all non-gaming tasks. ANGLE ADJUSTABLE HEAVY METAL BASE: LG is made of plastic and cannot be adjusted in any way. All-metal frame and body (very good solidity feeling!): LG - thin plastic. No backlight!: LG - Backlight in the corners, which is quite noticeable in darker games or shows. VESA mount! LG: NOT mounted! (on a $200 monitor? lol) Cons! Picture Quality - Needs a bit of tweaking to be decent.: LG - Very good quality when…

(see why I put a star at the end) This is my first monitor I've bought, before that I used improvised means. After receiving an update at work, I knew it was time for an upgrade. I am using this monitor with a Lenovo W540 via HDMI to Mini DisplayPort as a general use monitor. I am very satisfied and for CAD work it exceeds my expectations but as a gaming monitor it is about what you would expect at this price point, good resolution but a bit slow/blurry. It also tends to stutter in some menus…

Available option. - my new rating

I needed a monitor for work and play. I could spend $3 or $400 for a gaming monitor with 1ms latency, 8-bit color depth, and 144Hz refresh rate, but I'm not a serious gamer and just consider myself above average (read: I don't have a lot of money). So I needed something that could display my PS4 games decently without breaking the bank. This monitor does a very good job! I've been using it for about a year and have only one real complaint; deep black indicates colored bands. But we can't do…

I should have bought that first.

Two years ago I finally assembled my current gaming rig. It sits in the middle and can barely top Monster Hunter World on the highest chart. Since my budget was mostly on the GPU and CPU (graphics/processor), I borrowed an old HDTV and started on it until I felt like I could part with $100. This monitor is worth it. I was lucky to find this model at this price. I'll admit I wasn't happy with the slight green cast compared to a TV that was a cooler blue, even after recalibrating the colors…

Cheap, smart, good performance.

Good monitor for this price (I paid about $110). Very sleek and thin like me 30 years ago. Hm. Brushed metal edges give it an expensive, high-tech look. The silver scepter logo at the bottom center makes it look like you're in a James Bond movie. Enjoy word processing with a vodka martini, something you should be able to do with or without this monitor. I had no problem connecting it to my laptop with an HDMI cable (not included, but there is a VGA cable which should be sufficient for most…

So far, so good. The box was broken

It took 10 days to receive it. Shipping by ground shipping. Pooh. LLC "Best Bay" It seems that if you ever drop it or fall it will shatter into a million pieces. Seems to be made very cheaply. But the picture is great. We'll see how long that lasts. My son is now a year old and everything seems fine. The shipping box was dented. I'm really surprised it works. It also states that you need a back strap when using a stand. Doesn't come with this strap. It also seems to work without it. However…

Amazing price with amazing 75Hz 1080p clarity, wow!

This display is an amazing value at $99, you can't beat it. It's a metal-aluminum frame with a solid metal stand. Picture quality at full 1080p is amazing and colors are rich and vibrant, and the 75Hz refresh rate is a plus. I couldn't get my computer to switch to 75Hz at first, then realized the HDMI cable was wrong. You need a newer type of cable, I think they call it HDMI 1.4 cable. Once I switched to the correct HDMI cable, the difference between 60Hz and 75Hz was like night and day. I got…

Great budget monitor

The monitor is a perfect size and looks good to an extent. The brightness is also very good. Unfortunately my speakers aren't working and I'm not sure if it's a monitor issue or if I've done something wrong. I also have a dead pixel in the middle of the screen but I just ignored it. Anyway, it's great for gaming. For professional work like digital painting, video editing, or Photoshop, it may be worth looking elsewhere.

Bought two - would do it again

I took two of these while working from home. I am satisfied and would buy them again; You could just beat the price. They are both very thin and have a great form factor. Picture quality is good, but I'm not a gamer and I don't use it to watch movies. Only complaint is that when used on the included stands, one is 1/2 inch taller than the other, not sure why. Overall I am satisfied and would buy again.

Ideal! - my new rating

I was asked to work on my laptop from home, so I needed a bigger monitor. The order came MUCH earlier than the estimated delivery date. . . .instead of 6-8 days it came in 2 days. Raven is AWESOME! The monitor is very lightweight and very easy to set up and get started. I only had to tweak a few settings for a clearer picture/screen, but it was very easy. This monitor is perfect for what I need and I am very happy with the monitor and the price. Ideal!

The monitor is really good. The only criticism is that the connector for it is a bit clunky. I constantly have to adjust the plug in the wall or just plug it back in. But the monitor works great.

Overall great but no sound from XBOX

Image quality seems to be good, loads without problems. I like that the stand is metal instead of plastic and feels very solid. It also comes with a Phillips screwdriver to install the stand. The only thing that bothers me is that it doesn't play any audio from my Xbox. I have a surround sound system anyway so it doesn't matter but it looks like I'm not the first to experience this and there is nothing in the description to warn buyers of this issue. Tomorrow I'll get a USB-C to HDMI adapter…

Not for AutoCAD in my opinion

Not for AutoCAD. I'm sorry to be returning the two monitors I just received. My mistake was that I didn't do any further research before purchasing. I was influenced by the positive reviews on this product, which I mostly agree with as the monitor is really aesthetically pleasing. And I also find it very good when looking at pictures and films. I haven't tried it, but I believe this monitor will work fine for gaming. However, be careful if you intend to use this monitor for design purposes…

In my opinion second purchase

Bought this monitor 3 years ago. I also have other brands. I wanted to compare my previous Zepter monitor to a similar one and found that it is still available. I know you can pay $300-$600 for a monitor but I'm asking why. This monitor is thin, looks good and works great for my games. This monitor, along with the one I previously bought, sits in the center of the room where the back walls are visible. Looks visually appealing.

Pictures don't believe in justice

Christmas was approaching and I pulled the trigger on this scepter monitor as a gift for my girlfriend as she was in desperate need of an upgrade. The color and lighting that the monitor offers was definitely worth it, especially for the price. While it's nothing fancy, for a small $100, it's perfect for any novice gamer, PC builder, or just looking for basic image quality. It's not a 1440p, 4k, or 144Hz monitor or anything fancy, but for around $100 it fits the bill and won't disappoint. It…
