Sceptre U278W 4000R 4K DisplayPort Monitor with Built-In Speakers and IPS Technology Review

I bought two of these monitors and have used them extensively for all types of work from general business to video editing. They worked fine for a while, although I've had "anomalies" especially in the last few months. They were connected to an Nvidia Quadro P4000 card via DisplayPort connectors. A good resolution is true 4K. Colors were "decent" but clearly not calibrated. But for my purposes it was fine. The price corresponds to a cheap 4K display. Bad: Display "anomalies" include…

Downgraded to 2 stars after being too frustrated with a multi-screen, multi-computer screen lock! Consumer quality is not ideal for professional content creation. Taking pictures is fast. To prevent this, I will decrease the time the screen goes blank. Most of the time it doesn't come out of a blank screen and the built-in inputs are unresponsive. Usually you have to restart your computer for the screen to update. Sometimes you get a blinking green screen, after that you're stuck turning it off

Okay, first let's get it straight: SCEPTER U278W-4000R 27" IPS Ultra 4K LED Backlit Monitor, UHD 3840x2160, HDMI 2.0 DVI DisplayPort Speakers, Metallic, Black, 2017 Model (SCEPTER 27" IPS -U278W-4000R Ultra 4K LED UHD 3840 x 2160 Backlit Monitor HDMI 2.0 DVI DisplayPort Speakers Metallic Black (2017) is undoubtedly a five star product The monitor itself has the same issues and limitations associated with most monitors that are LCD - Use any kind of technology, for example: 1 - Make sure the…

Pros: Approximate price. If you don't care about brightness or color quality, then this 4K option is for you. This is 4K. This isn't a monitor-specific issue, but even at 4K resolution, the 27-inch display looks a bit grainy in Windows 10. The viewable screen size is 25.5 x 13.25, so at 3840 x 2160 the DPI is only 163. It's equivalent to a 1980's dot matrix printer, it's ok at best. It's a plus for a cheap 4K monitor as it's the best you can get. given today's backward technology will suffice…

First, the price of this monitor can't be beat. I know a lot of people report dead pixel issues and I have a few of those too, but at this price point I can't really complain. I got 4 or 5 dead pixels about in the middle, 3 or 4 inches from the left side. I'm working a lot on performance improvements and this is my second 4k screen and the second is a TV I bought a few years ago. This works well for having multiple things open at once and being able to see everything. This is as small as…

First let me say that I don't usually write reviews but felt compelled to write this one because I bought this monitor almost a year ago and now half the pixels are not working, yes that's easy!. My first monitor. Came with a few dead pixels so I returned it and got another one. The second one only had one dead pixel (barely noticeable) so I left it. First impressions were fine, image quality was functional (not much to expect from a $270 4k monitor) and build quality was decent. On the other…

I really liked this monitor - when it worked. But it started flickering and showing thin gray horizontal lines on the screen (see photo) after less than 1000 hours of intermittent use (approximately < 2 years). Unfortunately, the warranty has expired and Scepter said they can't fix it and it's likely parts are no longer available. I asked if they could give me a discount to buy back a similar monitor as it failed much earlier than most monitors but they didn't give any particular…

Like many reviewers here, I wasn't expecting too much, just a decent 4K monitor at a very good price. However, I bought two to use with my new main office desktop build. Complaints about the lack of adjustment with the included stands are valid, but in my case I was planning on using a dual monitor arm. Works great with standard VESA mount 100x1000. I didn't need to tweak much to get an accurate color palette for my .raw imaging tasks. For easier-to-read text, Windows 10 suggested setting the…

HDMI is the only port that supports a native resolution of 4k@60FPS. This causes some confusion for users who are unaware of the different types of input and output data. I probably didn't have to return mine because I forgot to check if my GPU has HDMI 2 - it doesn't. Every part of your system must conform to the standards in order to use it properly. Your GPU/Output must support HDMI 2 or higher. Your GPU itself must support 4K@60 resolution (depending on your Intel graphics). You will need a

Update February 2020 Well these two monitors are dying. Each of them had bright spots (large artifacts) on the screen in different areas. A screen has stopped working with the Displayport. These screens have been on monitor arms almost since day one and have been moved or even touched. Disappointing. I'll try to get her back through the scepter, see what happens. ------- I bought two of these at once for less than two hundred dollars. everyone. Both arrived unharmed. They race through AMD RX580

Let's start with the bad experience, the monitor itself is fine, 4k looks amazing on it but you have to make sure the screen is pointed straight at you at any angle and the colors are a mess. On day one I noticed the monitor had these crazy lines of glitches popping up from top to bottom on random pages that looked like a broken LED screen. As time went on, she appeared more and more. The speakers are terrible but what do you expect from a cheap 4k monitor. The stand has to be screwed in…

I'm not a display expert, but to me this monitor looks really good, especially for the price. It has two HDMI inputs, a DVI input and a full-size (as opposed to a mini) DisplayPort input. I connected two computers via HDMI inputs and everything works fine. My latest device supports UHD resolution (4K) and both the computer and the monitor work well with these settings. The display is well built and the stand is well designed as others have pointed out. there is room to grow. The remote control…

Pros: Low Price: You won't find another 27-inch 4K UHD monitor under $250. Narrow bezels and polished metal give this monitor a modern look. Supports HDMI 2.0 / Displayport 1.4 = 4K/60Hz. Finished VESA mount. Supplied with metal adapters for mounting on a 100x100 panel. - Light weight - it's the same weight as many other 24 inch monitors I've had. - 100% sRGB - Colour, sharpness and saturation are good for the price. Just don't try to compare it to high-end monitors from other manufacturers…

5 Stars - Beautiful display with no dead pixels. The perfect budget 4K display. 1 star. Less than two months later, the return window closed, and now the display is covered with thin, solid, evenly spaced, horizontal black lines. This is not a cable, GPU, or Windows issue. Send in for warranty service. TBCUpdate The RMA process (www.sceptre.com/warrantyservice.html) is relatively straightforward. Required photos:> Dear Scepter customer,>> Unfortunately, we are currently unable to…
