Not quite what it seems, but works great. until now

TLDR: Luckily I bid on all the bad reviews and got a good working monitor and so far it seems to be working as promised. The headphone jack sucks, but luckily that's not a problem as the monitor's sound is good. It's really only 18 inches and you can leave it on your door in a product box so all your neighbors and passers-by can see that you've bought the monitor. Read the full review for details. I want to assemble a decent little gaming PC and when I finally found the time to buy a monitor…

Fails the grayscale test. But it has nice features.

This review relates to the monitor "(Scepter 20", 1600 x 900, 75Hz, LED monitor, 2 built-in speakers HDMI, VGA, sRGB, 99%, machine black (E209W-16003RT series), also known as "20", 75Hz, wide viewing angle." I have 2 of these for $115 each. It was difficult to return them and use two 22" Samsung IPS 1080p monitors instead. For some reason didn't -IPS screens (like these) have a hard time displaying a flat black/grey screen The grayscale test photos below have my very high quality laptop monitor

Works for what I need

I didn't buy this to play with and I'd say it probably wouldn't be good for that to be honest. I play on my laptop because it's a gaming laptop and the quality is already great. I have a second screen so I can watch youtube or hulu videos on the second screen while playing sims or something. The only thing I would like to say is that there is some kind of glare setting present on the screen all the time. I assume it's coming from my lamp which is on the opposite side of my room. I will also say

good product good for me

This is a good monitor, especially for the price I paid. I can't say I was just shocked, but I can't say it was awful either. The speakers aren't the best, once you hit about 50 they don't get louder even when they hit 100. Screen quality is good, although I struggle with about a quarter-inch bar at the top. the path it goes through is corrupted, but this doesn't affect its use. I figured it had something to do with how it was broadcast or something. I'm not so sure about that. But it works to…

The assembly is a pain at best in my rating

I never really used them because I decided to go a bigger size, but I started installing them on a double stand. The computer comes with a stand that attaches to the bracket on the back of the computer. If you need to install them you will need the spacers provided but a different screw size. Spacers are needed to get around the bracket that holds the stand, otherwise it presses against the back of the monitor and the HDMI ports are kind of recessed and unusable. I have no problem buying the…

The scepter monitor is perfect!

I ordered this new monitor for my laptop because the old monitor would not connect to my laptop. I love it! I ordered it and received it the same day, great! The only thing that pissed me off was that it was 21% off the next day but I needed it so that's how it is. The size is right and the colors are great! Assembly only took about 5 minutes. I will and have recommended people to order this monitor. Actually I use it for work and I had to share my information about the computer and they made a

Bright, sharp and cheap

I bought this monitor to use with my laptop while on vacation. Although I bought it mainly because it was cheap, it's actually very good. It has a refresh rate of 75Hz, which gives a very clean picture and doesn't tire the eyes too much, it's very bright and with decent color balance. Honestly for the price it is very good value. In addition, the device has several connectors (see photo) and large manual (as opposed to virtual) buttons for adjusting the screen and image. All in all, for the…

good monitor Recommend!

I use this for my 8 camera security system. However, I can actually only make the display settings via the monitor. The camera system has a default display that I have already set on another monitor. I tweaked the color slightly to my liking as by default it was a bit light for what I'm doing with it. Setting up the factory stand was very simple and uncomplicated. You don't even need a manual, you just have to look at it. Out of the box, it took about 5 minutes to set it up, turn it on and see…

A cheap 900p monitor that works great and does its job well

This is the cheapest monitor of this size I could find on Revain at the time of purchase. And it works great, so it deserves 4 stars. It's only 900p and requires a screwdriver to attach and detach the stand, but it's good enough for my purposes. And for what purposes? Stash it in your suitcase or backpack to connect to your laptop on the go as a second (extended) screen for office productivity. A 20 inch screen with a medium sized bezel, this thing is cheap, strong enough, light weight and…

This product is generally good.

This product has gotten some negative reviews here, but I'll give you the real deal. I like it in general. Good. The preinstalled settings are pretty bad and not editable (other picture and sound settings are editable). A simple update and redesign of the menu can go a long way. The only editable setting is the "Custom" setting, and I think that's what most people want. I found a good match and my picture looks great. I am satisfied with the size of the monitor and its quality. The monitor…

Good for the price best in my rating

If I paid 100€ for this monitor I would be very disappointed. At the same time, this is optimal for the price and for my purposes (additional monitor for WFH). It's only slightly larger than my laptop screen, so I can use them side-by-side for extra screen real estate. I still use my laptop as my main monitor because it has higher image quality, but the monitor is perfect for calendaring while I do other things, taking notes during meetings, and general extra workspace. I love that it comes…

Easy to connect to laptop

I rarely leave reviews, but I just have to. The monitor was delivered on time with no problems and the packaging was intact at the time of delivery. I bought this monitor because there are days when I work from home and I find it difficult to work with just my laptop screen. I was expecting a headache connecting this monitor to my laptop to have an extended display, but oh my god it was very easy to adjust the monitor. I used the HDMI cable and then I saw the screen turn on. It was a hallelujah

Great bang for the long buck

I got my first 2 years ago as a Christmas gift for using a Raspberry Pi monitor. But since I also worked remotely I very quickly started using it as an extended monitor for my 14" windows laptop. This has now become its main use and today I have my second exactly the same scepter (20" ) receive. . I realize the resolution has gotten better over the past few years, but for the price and functionality of a work computer I'm very happy to add a second to create a 3 monitor setup for work…

Great monitor! - my new rating

Very happy with this refurbished Dell monitor! It replaces the 2009 Dell Ultrasharp which was great but shifted too much EMF. This monitor is much easier on my eyes and body and has all the features I loved on my old monitor. Visually, the screen is perfect and the stand looks like new! So far the monitor has worked well with my old Windows 8 desktop. The monitor was very well bubble wrapped and was double boxed. Highly recommended!

Not 75Hz, but everything else is fine

The monitor has excellent sound quality. The images are fairly light and there is no apparent lag between the image and the words. The assembly of this monitor was also very easy. It would be better if it was 75Hz, but it's set to 60Hz (can't be changed I think).
