Sceptre E205W-16003RTT Monitor: Built-In HD Speakers, 75Hz Refresh Rate Review

Worst viewing angle range of any monitor I have ever owned. If you're not fully centered, the color and contrast will noticeably fade. In fact, it's aligned slightly below the center of vision, forcing you to place the monitor squarely on the table at head height. Fun. Garbage Color/Gamma Correction too. I don't know how anyone rated this electric paperweight so highly. Cheap yes. Almost useless for any image editing, yes. I will NEVER buy any other Scepter product. The difference between…

So, after a long drive from New York to New Jersey, I decided to stop by Staples the next day and check out the smaller monitors. Seriously, it's very difficult to cross the bridge these days. In any case, a big mistake. I expected more from a customer service representative these days. Nothing is there either. Shocker. There must be a supply chain issue or something. At this point I decided to go home and learn a little bit about monitors. I got to some competing sites and stopped. I use this…

My work includes programming and reading. I needed another screen to put code on one and text on the other. And this screen does it, and it does it well. Also good quality for movies. However, the built-in speakers are of poor quality. I don't use them as my computer is connected to JBL. All in all, for this price and for this kind of work, if you're looking for a basic screen with minimum specs, it won't disappoint. Guaranteed.

good monitor works well. The sound is a little weak, but I didn't buy it because of the speakers. The best part of the monitor is the customer service. I thought I installed the stand incorrectly (didn't install it) and wrote Sceptre. I received an email and a video response. Still not satisfied with the angle of the monitor, I answered. I received an email almost immediately explaining that I could tilt the monitor manually. Great customer service for a stupid problem I caused myself. Thank…

Very great monitor, have had it for almost 2 years now, no errors so far, if you have an nvdia computer or laptop, the monitor can be used for stretched resolution in games. Also runs smoothly! Definitely worth the money. I bought it when it was around $60. One of my best purchases of my life.

I had two dead pixels in two different places on this monitor, when I contacted support they told me "Our manufacturer warranty only covers dead pixels if you have 3 in a cluster or only 5 on a screen." FYI , if you want a monitor with no dead pixels, I wouldn't buy this one.

The size is big and very easy to assemble! My longtime problem is the picture quality, does it look blurry and washed out? I will most likely use it as a second monitor.

Everything is fine except for the brightness setting. Cannot be configured. Tried everything. It is best to use the Intel Control Panel. However, now the images are too dark, but at least I'm not getting any extra blue light and the text isn't blurry.

Dejo de funcionar a los 2 meses y medio de que lo compré.. La luz roja que indica que esta connected no funciona Thanks for attention!

I've had 3 of these monitors, 1 from Walmart and 2 from Revain, and all 3 had SEVERAL dead or stuck pixels. Scepter's quality control is HORRIBLE. And that's a shame too, because it's the ONLY modern 1600x900 monitor on the market (with 75hz and freesync, all others are older models with 60hz and no freesync). I am incredibly shocked by this experience. I'd love to just return them until I can get one with no dead pixels, but Amazon wouldn't keep sending me back to replace them.

The monitor was fine while it lasted. However, after a few months, the monitor would not turn on. I was hoping it was the power cord. Luckily I had another cable lying around, but after testing it turned out that the cable wasn't a problem. I do NOT recommend.

Inexpensive HDMI monitor with built-in speakers. Works perfectly for what I need, just wish the audio was louder. Not even 100% very loud

I bought this monitor for work because I needed a second screen. It's the perfect size because I don't need a huge bulky screen. It was very easy to set up and the price was perfect. The HDMI cable does not come with the monitor and I bought it separately. Basically I am very satisfied with the monitor.

The picture is acceptable. I love that it has 2 switchable inputs (HDMI and VGA). I have never used speakers and probably never will. It has a small size, so it doesn't take up much space on the table. As long as it does what I need. I connected it to 2 different computers; one uses VGA and the other HDMI and I can switch back and forth with the buttons on the back.

Suddenly it just didn't work anymore. It used to work great, but then it stopped working. I didn't use it every day so not that oversaturated. I have contacted the company and I am able to return it at my own expense to have it repaired. Packing and shipping costs, not sure if it's worth it, would be nice if they sent me a replacement

This did what I needed for a second monitor. The display is beautiful, there are many picture modes. The blue light reduction is really nice when you work on the computer for hours. Good size screen. Highly recommended for buyers who don't want to spend a lot.

It auto-adjusts to the wrong aspect ratio from time to time and I keep having to reset it, which unfortunately clears my color settings as the default black levels are terrible. If I could find a way to turn off auto-adjust it would be a great monitor, but so far it's not worth the headache.

I don't understand how this monitor got positive reviews. I bought it for work, not for play. I couldn't even read a simple Outlook email because the screen was so blurry no matter how hard I tried to tweak the settings. He comes back. Terrible.

No matter what settings I choose, the entire screen has a white blurry background. The colors are very dull and the text is fuzzy.

The picture quality is terrible. The colors are awful, there isn't a setting you can change or tweak or do anything to make the colors match the actual colors on the page/app. I've been trying for almost an hour. I was planning to use them for work but now I don't know what to do because the color and quality are so terrible that I won't be able to design them. If you work in black and white or don't mind making your blues look like magenta, this monitor might be for you.
