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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I had to turn off the monitor as the screen went black and flickered intermittently.

UPDATE: The replacement I received can't run above 60hz so buying 144hz was foolish. Also, the display port drops out intermittently and I have to reconnect to HDMI and then back to the display port. Will try the RMA and sell a replacement on eBay. Spend another $50 and get a branded one as you will likely have to send it back and pay to ship it to them and it could cost you over $50 due to the size of the box. I learned my lesson the hard way. Avoid this monitor at all costs because if you don't, it will cost you a lot of money. I had to turn off the monitor because the screen went black intermittently and the entire screen flickered when I clicked the mouse. I didn't notice any flickering until I played League of Legends at 144Hz. It flickered when I spammed the mouse pointer and I noticed the whole screen flickering. In addition, the first night I used it, I was playing Fallout 4 and my eyes started to sting very badly, and this is not normal. I've been playing on a 32 inch TV for a few months with no problems. I think it was an isolated case so I just traded it in for a new monitor. I'm a bit frustrated because I sold my Geforce 1050 ti 4GB to a friend and bought a Radeon RX 580 hoping it would fix the problem didn't help. Same thing happened with both and my igpu vega 8 on my Ryzen 3 2200g. away from the flat screen. * It is easy to assemble and appears to be durable. * Colors are vibrant. Cons: * It flickered and went to a black screen periodically. * The speakers weren't very loud, but I use external speakers so that's not a huge downside, although I don't think the speakers will be satisfactory for most audiophiles or gamers. The reason I exchanged it instead of getting a refund. I will edit my review again if I have a lem issue on the next monitor. I will also add that I get tired eyes with any monitor with a refresh rate below 60Hz and I've been told that for some reason this monitor doesn't go beyond 60Hz with either a Displayport or HDMI (I tried two cables HDMI) . I think positively about my replacement, I wouldn't replace her if I didn't like her.
