Sceptre C248W 1920R Monitor: Curved DisplayPort Screen with Built-In Speakers, Wall Mountable & Flicker-Free Technology - C248W-1920R Review

Bought two, sent one back. The monitors I received DO NOT HAVE A DISPLAYPORT. Description and picture do not match. A customer showed a photo with him, but the one I received didn't. I was about to return them both but for a sub $100 monitor it really has what you need. Just not everything you want. I think it will be a decent secondary monitor. But I'll pay a little more for a better body. Pros: Curved, Lightweight, Low Power Consumption, Fantastic Price! Cons: 1) The stand is rubbish, clearly

I bought two of these to replace a couple of older displays, one of which was struggling after almost 5 years of heavy use. I didn't originally want curved monitors, but I went with them because the price was reasonable for the monitor's size, refresh rate, and overall look. Here are my impressions after using them for about 2 months: Pros: - 75Hz at 1080p* - Thin bezels - Physically they REALLY look good - Everything looks good after color matching (although you REALLY do need) Neutral: - See…

This monitor has a variety of connectivity options. It supports DP, HDMI and VGA. I have various systems that I need to connect and test often, so this is a good feature for me. The monitor is very light and photos and videos are displayed sharply and clearly. I didn't see any lag in the videos I watched, but I didn't test the games and I didn't buy it for that. Delivered quickly and nicely packaged. The package includes a power adapter, VGA and HDMI cables. You need to attach the stand and…

Every large TV and mid-sized gaming monitor I've had in the last decade has featured the Scepter. It's not Samsung, but their products tend to be really good, especially in their price range. This monitor is no exception. I like it and it works very well for gaming, media or workstation. But it comes with two green stuck pixels which no amount of stuck pixel solutions can fix. I understand that at this price point quality control is no guarantee and rightly so. But it's just a little annoying…

I've had this monitor for a few months now and am very happy with it. The resolution is excellent, as is the brightness. Even though my office has windows, I don't notice any glare on the screen at all. There are presets for movies, games and business, as well as a power saving mode. As other comments point out, the speakers aren't great, but the fact that they come with speakers at all is a plus in my opinion. The sound is clear but they are not very loud. They suit my purposes. My main…

I actually accidentally ordered this monitor without knowing it (thanks for the 1 click purchase) and decided to try it out when it showed up at my door. The first thing that struck me was the feeling of solidity after attaching it to the included base. With the monitor on, the overall picture was worse than we would like. However, after playing around with the picture settings for a few minutes, I got VERY IMPRESSIVE picture quality. The richness of color and the extremely deep black are…

Setting up this monitor is very easy. Using the included screwdriver to attach the base couldn't be easier. In addition, the Zepter screwdriver is now almost legendary and will definitely find a place in your tool box. The stand looks good and has decent vertical tilt. No pan or height adjustment, but that's to be expected at this price point. An HDMI cable is also included. The screen uses VA technology for superior color reproduction and even better contrast. For everyday tasks like working…

If I could I would give these monitors 4.5 stars. Their quality and packaging was better than the Samsung 27 inch monitors I received. The first thing that struck me was that it was one of the few 24-inch curved monitors that also featured DisplayPort. I connected one to my HP laptop via HDMI and the other via DisplayPort. The only downside was what the previous person mentioned - terrible brick style power supplies. If they could find a way to make them smaller or use a regular plug and put a…

In short, if you like the price, take it. I'm tall and my girlfriend is short and she connects her laptop to a second monitor so we can play Minecraft together. a second monitor for work and I decided to try a lesser known brand and see if I'm interested in curved monitors. Oddly, I don't really notice it's curved when I look straight at it and position it in the center. Unless I switch between my apartment and this one. Maybe it plays a role in my brain, I don't know.

(I've used this monitor to play games on the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One, and oh my, it's great to play on those systems.) The monitor came quickly in the mail (less than a week actually) and it was fast and easy. to build. The instructions that came with it were very clear and easy to set up. The image quality on the monitor is clear and high. However, the sound is just miserable, which is probably due to the fact that the built-in speakers are on the back. If you buy this monitor you MUST…

I bought this monitor to replace an old one that used a VGA cable; I've tried switching to something that increases the framerate and have heard that DP is the way to go. It was the most economical option for its size and just right for a curved monitor. Of course, you don't get any functionality with the supplied stand, but it still looks good. By the way, if you want to use the wall mount, you'll need to find a compatible stand for it (because it's not included).

I bought this monitor in 2018 after reading good reviews about it. The last 2.5 years have been great. However, about a month ago a horizontal line appeared on the bottom third of the screen and I decided to stay. I called the customer at Scepter and they responded quickly. The gentleman who helped was very nice. He mentioned that this line was due to a bunch of pixels going bad (e.g. old e-broccoli) and that the one-year warranty had expired. I understand the coverage is limited and I'm not…

So far I am enjoying the monitor, good response time and refresh rate. mainly used for my live broadcasts and pc dual screens. However, there is an issue with the placement of more than one port on the back, DP, HDMI and VGA. I noticed that it was difficult for me to switch from one port to another when connecting Display Port and HDMI. It always stayed on DP and never switched to the HDMI port or just said no source found. I got around this by adding my HDMI port to VGA instead. It kind of…

I bought 2 of these for home setup, they are great for business uses. Had to be replaced due to a small dark spot in the center of the screen which is evident when viewing a white background like MS Word. Revain gave me no problems and immediately sent a replacement. I see a slight fuzzy glow in the center at the top of both screens when looking at a black screen in a dark room, don't see them when the screens are in use, so this isn't an issue for me. The speakers are worse than terrible. I…

Curve is good and all, but color quality/true black/sharpness leaves something to be desired. If you have used/currently use an IPS display just stick with it, if not it's still a very good monitor for the price. Pros: - It looks natural when it has a curve and the response/refresh rate is suitable for gaming. (BF1/CS:GO) - It has speakers that excite, most monitors I throw away completely lean over as an option. OverDrive is a pretty cool feature. Cons: - Again, the color quality/sharpness…

When I bought the first one I wasn't expecting much, I just needed something decent to make ends meet for a while. Realizing it was more than decent I bought 2 more out of 3. 2 of them reach 144Hz with the right DisplayPort cable. So, in summary, I was able to achieve a triple curve setup without going broke. Enjoy

Let's start with the positive. Price and picture quality are very good. Yes, you'll have to tweak things to suit your needs, but I believe that's the case with most monitors in this class. In general, the quality of the monitor is excellent. The base and most of the body are metal, and the plastic feels really nice. Now for the bad and the reason for only 3 stars. The power supply is terrible. This is an old AC wall brick with a 3 foot cord! What were they thinking? Running cables and finding…

I just bought it and have been using it for about a week. The first one was cracked but that's not the manufacturer's fault, their packaging wasn't damaged but the Revain was. Return and exchange without problems. The second came in 2 days and I am very happy with it. I'm a casual gamer who went from a decent laptop to a desktop with this monitor. Picture is great, assembly is easy. I have to fiddle around with the settings a bit to tweak everything, but right out of the box it's awesome. The…

I bought this monitor to replace an old one that died. I am very happy with the results after a few months of use. While the screen is definitely fragile, I always just throw my phone on the table when I walk by with my old monitor and it hits it every now and then and does nothing. I did the same with my phone and a new monitor and now it has a small dent, silly but nothing to worry about. I also use it for productivity and video production. I really like how the timeline in my software looks…

This monitor is part of my main setup on my desk. The build quality is excellent and the built-in speakers are very comfortable, the screen is a bit darker than average but barely noticeable, a great device to launch the game, I plan to keep it as my main display and recommend it. to everyone who is looking for a gaming monitor!
