Review on Sceptre E225W 19203R Monitor Speakers Metallic 60Hz, Blue Light Filter, Wall Mountable, Built-In Speakers, ‎E225W-19203R, HD by Robert Akers

I usually use a 15-inch 4K portable monitor as the second screen in my setup, but I've always considered getting a slightly larger screen. I prefer a smaller monitor because I only use it as a second monitor to play videos or movies in the background or to connect to my other consoles like Switch or Playstation. For this reason, it was important that my second monitor had built-in speakers. This 22" monitor is great for my setup. It's very light and for the most part quite thin. Its thin bezels make it a great addition for a portrait orientation next to my main monitor. 1080p is fine for most of my needs, though in 4k all colors looked washed out and faded without HDR Unfortunately this is one of the main reasons for returning this monitor Another annoying feature of this monitor is the built in speakers which was the deciding factor for me to return it The quality of the speaker is great poor, almost unusable.I understand that you shouldn't expect outstanding quality from the built-in speakers, but the sound is very thin and distorted at very low volumes.My portable monitor's speakers were more like phone speakers so you can hear things fairly clearly and the frequencies are more balanced.I was very disappointed with the Scepter speakers. Unfortunately, this monitor does not meet my requirements. But for what it is I think it's a decent monitor. It is ideal for small rooms or as a portrait monitor. Imagine not having any speakers at all. I quickly tested the monitor and found no horrible light reflections and since it was used like new there were no dead pixels. It looks like a decent monitor for the $80 I paid for it. Will return.
