Sceptre FreeSync E248B FPT168: Frameless DisplayPort Monitor with Built-in Speakers, Wall Mountable & Tilt Adjustment - Full HD 1920X1080P, Flicker-Free & IPS Panel Review

I've tested 4 of my laptops with this monitor and thought my experience might be helpful to others, especially regarding the refresh rate. I think the most interesting thing I've found is that my gaming laptop outputs 165Hz over HDMI, while everything you read before buying says 144Hz is the max. Read on if you want to see my experience testing different laptops: If you connect a monitor, go to Display Settings, Advanced Display Settings. Click View Adapter Properties, then click List All…

One thing I've seen on my monitor is that sometimes when my computer is in sleep mode and I wake it up, sometimes it doesn't show an input connection. So I just unplug the power cord and plug it back in and it works. This error is very rare, but this is just a guide on how to fix it. Although a good price for 165 Hz and the presence of HDMI or Display Port.

Pros: full metal stand, very solid, easy to install, screwdriver included, DP cable included, monitor has an audio output, stand is minimal and doesn't take up space on your desk, looks great Cons: DC 12V power supply. delivery - slight backlighting below - speakers full of junk, headphones put on overall this monitor has been great for me so far and the picture quality is okay. probably the best 144Hz monitor for under $200. The buttons are on the back of the monitor so you can't see what…

*** Edited to include instructions for 120Hz on XBOX ** In your Xbox Settings: 1. Settings2. TV and display options3. In the Advanced section, select Video Accuracy and Overscan4. Under Display, select HDMI5. Go back one screen, select the resolution under Display, and then select 1080p6. Under Refresh rate, select 120 Hz. I was a bit skeptical based on some of the reviews but I'm very impressed. No dead pixels, bright enough to play in a very bright room, and can be dimmed too. On my Xbox One…

I built my first PC. So I did tons of research. Especially for monitors. After hours of staring at the monitor, I decided to up my budget by another $50 and use this one. The best decision I've made. The stand is solid, the build quality feels really premium and the colors are great. I have no dead pixels. And it looks really good! The only negative thing I can highlight is the speaker. It's not loud, it doesn't sound that good, and that's okay. I bought a Razer headset with 7.1 surround sound…

Bought on June 4, 2021 for about $180 and have had it since (January 2022). It worked right out of the box, simply plugged into the included display port and has been using it almost every day since. Luckily I had no dead pixels at all. However, as usual, speakers should definitely not be used if the user enjoys good sound, but that's not a problem for me as I use headphones when gaming. Very pleased :)

In fact, a really good $170 thin/compact monitor is recommended for anyone trying to decide between 144Hz and 165Hz. Response time isn't as fast as my new monitor, but to be honest, people who aren't trying to be pros won't notice a difference in response time. Colors are great, actually looks a little better than my Alienware 240hz but that's just my opinion. Excellent viewing angles. I currently use it as an additional monitor for video editing and movie watching. Great for games like…

I have almost no complaints about this monitor. But there are three things that can stand in your way. Cons 1) Mount wobbles a bit even when screwed tight 2) Backlight leaks 3) Dead pixels I've only had one dead pixel so far and it's not that bothersome, but if it keeps getting worse I plan to update this review . Pros 1) Solid price 2) Clean minimal bezels 3) 165Hz 4) Auto off when not in use (I play on PS4) 5) No input lag 6) Great picture quality

The monitor is good, but I'm not sure if it's $280. The lack of a color gamut doesn't seem ideal for anyone playing an aesthetically heavy game. It's an understandable trade-off, but I'm not sure it's a reasonable trade-off given the $280 price tag. I've considered returning this monitor due to this issue, but I'd rather avoid the hassle and potential shipping and restocking fees. Pros: + Pleasing physical aesthetics + Image quality is good + Minimal visible lag + No noticeable motion blur (to…

I have two of these monitors and I love them. My first IPS monitors since 22" TN panels (couldn't handle poor viewing angles). These are very good displays with good stands (although mine is installed with VESA enabled). Super Thin and Light Monitors I had a Zepter monitor about 15 years ago and completely forgot about the brand until I got into the new display market. I don't think you can find it for a monitor this size with an IPS display and 144Hz, and as far as I know they're really…

So I'm a big console gamer and my favorite games are shooters. I got this item after playing benq rl2455hm for over 5 years. My Benq had a TN panel and I've always heard that TN is the fastest. I was a bit worried about getting this because of the screen type but I wanted a new monitor that wouldn't break the bank and because the new consoles coming out this holiday season were going to have a 120Hz refresh rate and my Benq was only a standard update. Bid. This thing is faster than my Benq ever

I was looking for a monitor and my friend recommended this one to me. The monitor stand may seem a bit flimsy, but it does its job well. The monitor I received has a dead pixel, but this is negligible. The speakers are terrible, but you shouldn't use them anyway (please use headphones only). It can be tilted up and down a few degrees, but you can't adjust its height or rotate it, which is a bit of a shame. In general a good monitor, especially for its price (bought for 180). If you want an…

I ordered 2 of these 11 months ago to use in a dual monitor setup. I was disappointed from the start. I was initially skeptical about buying these monitors because of the price ($200) and the specs that were being offered for that price. The monitor can't run at 165Hz, sometimes it can but can't keep up. Screen tearing at this refresh rate is almost always there, every day. I'd have to refresh the signal every time to get a smooth 165Hz. until I decided I'd had enough and just turned on the…

Image quality is fairly good at the intended resolution/frequency, although when using a monitor with less than the maximum resolution I did notice a kind of odd screen tremor that's hard to describe and more complex. Take photos, but for me it severely affects the legibility of low-contrast text. The way the monitor interacts with multiple computers is quite annoying, which is often due to the fact that it's completely disconnected from the computer when it's not showing on the computer in…

I've been using this monitor for about two months now and it's really amazing. I bought it for $169.99 which I think was and still is an amazing price for the performance. It picks up input signals easily and is VERY bright compared to my laptop's max screen brightness. I've had the monitor with no dead or dim pixels and no issues so far, the 165Hz/144Hz/120Hz refresh rate makes it great for many build types versatile and any frame rate above 100fps is generally buttery smooth with no…

I'm switching from laptop to desktop and even though I have a used Cintiq, it worries me when I see my art on the computer monitor and it looks different than it does on the monitor. I wanted to make sure what I get is at least somewhat color accurate, but also good for gaming as I make quite a bit of it. 0.2ms response time or a beast of absolute color fidelity, but I needed something to fill that need. So far this monitor is great. It's big enough for me, very bright, color rendering is…

I had this exact monitor model/size last year and bought a second one when I saw it was on sale and wanted to upgrade to a dual monitor. It's been an extremely reliable monitor and I've never had a problem with it in the time I've invested in it. I find this unbeatable for the price and the 165Hz frequency. (Don't bother with cable management, I know it's bullshit)

If you don't mind serious backlight leaks, they'll work just fine, but don't even bother using the included DisplayPort cables as you won't be using them for very long. I bought two of these in October 2021 and one of them had a DisplayPort failure within three months. HDMI still works and I can still get refresh rates up to 144Hz, but it's not the promised 165Hz. Another one lost the DisplayPort today and since my graphics card only has an HDMI output I'll either have to switch dice a good DP…

I was looking for a monitor to pair with my new gaming PC and came across this one, it was cheaper than most and still had the 144+Hz I wanted. When it came to dead pixels I didn't have any so can't say for sure if it was luck or not but thought I should mention it as many reviews mention it. It looks great and the extra HDMI ports come in very handy if you are using this monitor for more than one PC e.g. B. a console want to use. The speakers are okay, they're not the loudest but should work…

Pros: 1. Great display 2. Very thin, very light 3. High quality stand4. Various settings for your preferred picture quality5. I bought it to use on PS5 in a few months so I can run more frames but it works really well on PS4.6 too. Great Value Cons: 1. The biggest con for me is how bright the blue light is FLASHING in test mode. I know I can just turn it off and get a direct red light, but gaming monitors automatically detect the power signal, and in the past I've never had to turn the monitor…
