Review on Sceptre C248B-144R: A Curved 24 πŸ’» Inch 1080P DisplayPort Monitor with FreeSyncTM Technology by Jon Jackson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great monitor, but you have to know one thing.

A great monitor for the price. Comes with a Displayport cable. The monitor only runs at 144 Hz via DisplayPort, not HDMI. And you need to enable this refresh rate through your operating system (since most monitors need to be manually adjusted in some way). One last note, but dammit, this is important. The included DisplayPort cable is cheap. Its 20 pin is connected. This pin is used for electrical power, not for data transfer. So the cable pulls power from your monitor and sends power to your GPU. This can damage your hardware and cause your graphics card to fail. I recommend purchasing a newer, more convenient DisplayPort cable that doesn't have a 20-pin connector attached. (Sorry if I misrepresented the explanation. This is the basic idea I got from researching the debug LED codes or my motherboard.)
