Great picture but...

As others have said, the picture is great. The colors are bright and saturated. I bought this monitor for both work and school so would use it daily. I liked that it had multiple HDMI inputs so I could use my Windows laptop which I use for work and my Mac Mini which is my home and school computer. Literally a day after the usual return policy, a small 3 x 3 or 4 x 4 inch square area appeared on the screen and started flickering. It drove me crazy I've tried everything, changed cables, looked at the video settings on my computers, but it was on different inputs and resolution settings for both computers. A few days before it went bad I decided to throw the box away thinking I had a great product and that was the end of the return policy. This also made it difficult to return. The Scepter was about to start a warranty process, but they wrote that claims are likely to be denied if it gets damaged, and on Reddit some read that it took almost a month for the box they sent to actually ship the product to arrive to guarantee. Revain gratefully said they would take it back, issued a returns label and actually gave me credit for the box and bubble wrap I bought from a home storage facility. The only problem with them is that it's been a week and the product still doesn't even show up so I'm waiting for them to give me a credit. This is very frustrating as I already said I need this for work. My previous LG Ultrawide lasted 8 years before finally failing and I've never had a problem. I think it's time to go back to LG's great displays and quality. Maybe I was coincidental but others have also posted a video showing display issues, mine wasn't like theirs but it shows there are known issues although each product has a few less than ideal ones.

Pros
  • Refresh rate up to 70Hz. With a 75Hz refresh rate, images change faster and smoother than usual, reducing screen tearing.
Cons
  • nutritional problems. If the monitor's power supply is not working properly, it may cause the display to flicker or turn off.
