Best monitor for price I have found. I ordered and received two of these along with a USB-C mini hub for dual monitors on my notebook. I could not be happier. Do not expect big sound from the small speakers however they work well and fill the need. The image quality is fantastic and on par with my other 4k monitors
of bigger brands. I must also state that the first two never showed up even though Amazon showed they were delivered and 'handed to a household member'. I was not even home. After a couple of days chatting with AZ on line, they replaced them and they DID show up. Had them for a few months now and I am very pleased.
BUY NOWI am extremelly impressed with this monitor! Great buy specially for gaming!
I have a GTX 1060 laptop, set up is easy and there was no need for me to calibrate anything, I even dare say this monitor looks better than my own laptop screen at 1080p.
At first i thought it didn not support 75Hz and the colors were washed out and it was too bright, also on the nvidia panel it said 1080p at 60Hz however this is what you gotta do to fix it.
"CALIBRATION"
1. Connect via HDMI
2. Open Display settings and make sure that they are set so that only the 2nd display is turned on, do not put duplicate or extend.
3. Open Nvidia control panel and go to "Change Resolution"
4. You will see two lists, one will say HD, UHD etc, the other one at the bottom will say "PC", (changing the first list will project your laptop screen to the second screen however your laptop is 60Hz and the monitor is 75Hz that is why its limited to 60Hz and colors are washed out, changing the second list will basically use your laptop to power up the monitor at full 75Hz 1080p with the right color calibration.)
5. On list two "PC" change the resolution to 1080p and 75Hz
And there you go, now you can use your 75Hz monitor for gaming, make sure to change the settings indvidually in games to 75Hz or they will still run at 60Hz and the colors will be washed out.
Now onto the review
*** REVIEW ***
The screen resolution is full 1920x1080p at 75Hz, the colors are very accurate, it looks no where near like a TN panel, I would say its in between a TN panel and an IPS panel but closer to IPS.
It comes with speakers which are ok for the price but I recommend headphones or your own speakers which are probably better if you got this for gaming.
This is what comes in the package
- Monitor
- 4 screws for mounting
- Two screws for setting up the monitor (non adjustable height(
- HDMI to VGA cable
- VGA to VGA cable
I really recommend this monitor even if not for gaming, its a great price for what you get and it even comes with two cables.
However one thing to note is that the difference between 60Hz and 75Hz is hard to notice in games. Playing Witcher 3 and Rise of Tomb Raider at locked in 75FPS wasn't anything much more amazing than 60FPS. However it is still an improvement.
One last thing to confider if you’re debating on a 75Hz vs 144Hz monitor
- If you have a graphics card such as the GTX 770,970,1060 Most games (witcher, call of duty, battlefield wont go back 80 fps on ultra / high graphics) so you wont be able to take advantage of a 144Hz monitor, so I suggest this one. UNLESS you play on medium/low settings.
- If you have a graphics card such as a GTX 770,780,980,1070 and above, I suggest the 144Hz monitor since these can run most tiles at well above 100FPS so you can take advantage of the monitor.
*** UPDATE ***
Earlier on the review I said the difference between 60Hz and 75Hz was negligible, I take it back.
I played on my laptop which is limited to 60Hz and it feels bad and slugish compared to 75Hz, once you go higher refresh rate you can never go back
Its one of those things you dont realise until its taken away, great improvement.
My go-to for office monitors.
Needed two new monitors for a new PC in the office. Went with this because it was the best value in terms of size vs price. I'd also purchased these for clients in the past and heard they were happy with them. After seeing the complaints about the colors being washed out, I gave my monitors away and decided if there were any problems with these I'd either live with it or fix it.
Out of the box the monitors were fine. The only complaint I can come up with is that the VESA mounts are lower on the back due to the slim design. After looking at settings, I determined that for me as an IT manager I didn't need to recalibrate the screens at all. Granted, I spend most of my time looking at text documents, configuration pages for network equipment, and the accounting software my company uses. I couldn't speak to color calibration for individuals doing video or photo production.
One thought on the others experiencing washed out colors - HDMI out on a computer kind of expects a TV. Televisions and Monitors will sometimes have different ranges for black levels, which can cause the screen to look washed out. If you're experiencing this, check the control panel for your graphics driver. You should be able to adjust black levels and fix the issue. This has been a driving factor in my preference for just about anything over HDMI. (Display Port is king, for what it's worth

Just got two of these bad boys. pulled them out of the box added the thread extenders put them on my monitor tree. Set up was easy, resolution is perfect for my needs (Business). Did some initial setup with adjusting the view area of the screen but the auto adjustment made that very simple. I use the VGA connections so can't speak to the HDMI but for the Price these are amazing. One thing that I will mention is that they use a proprietary Power cord but that is more just for information it has a very large plug so you will need to account for that when planning your Power set up.
A Great Monitor
I am a writer and I have always used just one computer for all my needs. However, I decided to add a monitor to write my books on, then do research on the original computer. This works great for me and this is a great monitor. Some reviews question the difficulty in using a second monitor. I can only offer limited experience because I don't do a lot of things with i, only write bookst. First, it is easy to set up this monitor with the HDMI cable they include. You simply hook the USB type connections on both ends of the cable to the computer monitor and then to this monitor. You are ready to go. I use MS Word to write my books. To move a book from the original computer to the second computer monitor, I right click on the large blue strip at the top of the Word document, hold it firmly and drag it to this monitor. Easy to do! The second monitor has a task bar at the bottom and tool bar at the top to use without being forced to use the computer screen. This is just like everything in the electronic world, you have to "intuitively" learn to manipulate this second to suit your needs. Hope this helps someone!
Just calm down, It's was only $104.
If you are rating this like you ordered a $500 top of the line gaming monitor, then it's YOU that has issues, not the product. For under $120 this monitor well surpassed my expectations initially, as for longevity, we'll see. Great picture quality, thin appearance, and pretty small bezels. Came with HDMI cord (wasn't expecting that) and spacers for wall mounts/other mounting kits. Usable UI for adjustments if that's your thing. I honestly just set it up, plugged it in and bobs you're uncle. Again, it was only $104 when I ordered it, so this review is based on that. What else can be said? 24 inches is 24 inches, 75 hertz is 75 hertz, colors are colored and cords do cord things! For the price, it's definitely recommended and expectations where exceeded. Don't buy a monitor under $120 and try to review it like a $500 god-like gaming accessory.
So to recap, the monitor monitors, cords cord, and the stand stands. Cough into you elbow, stop driving 100mph and don't go to Walmart just to browse the electronics during a pandemic.
Exactly what I needed to work from home
Like half of America right now, I am forced to work from home. When we got the news I thought there is no way I can use my laptop screen to work full time on. So, I got on Amazon and looked for a moderately priced monitor with positive reviews. This one came to my attention so i ordered it. Got it 3 days later, hooked it up via HDMI with my laptop, set my laptop display so I could use it as a dual monitor and I couldn't be happier. Actually this monitor is nicer than the one at work. So, now when things ever get back to normal I will have a monitor at home I can use on days I work remotely. The only gaming I've done with it is I used the 2nd HDMI port to hook up my Super Nintendo mini; looks pretty sweet. Not much of a gamer.
Totally Worth it
This monitors look very good, happy with picture and color quality, now I can call my desk setup is complete, compare to what it cost I say this buy is totally worth for me , I was looking for my home office monitor setup, been search around a lot but finally both sceptre 24inch, first time experience with this brand, one of the good part is it has plenty of options to connect, very lightweight and stand also have good fixability, comes with HDMI cable too, not a big fan of gaming but I did notice option for active sync, I haven’t tried built in speaker since I’m using sound bar but it is good to have it,
Great value for the price!
The monitors arrived in good condition, and as you can see in the video, I mounted them on the dual-monitor stand that was part of the same order. It's set up a little awkwardly for now, since I am not sure I wanna drill holes in my desk yet. The monitors come with "riser" screws (I think they are called) in order to facilitate mounting on VESA-compatible monitor arms.
The monitors are light, sleek, and seem to work well so far. The picture quality doesn't disappoint! Very good value for $99.
I'll update this review in the near future, after using the products for a few months.
Quick and easy upgrade, very affordable
Just got replacements - first 2 of these that I ordered arrived smashed. But replacements arrived an hour ago.
This time there was no damage to either monitor. Took them out and replaced both of the older monitors I was using for home office (thanks to virus, WFH 5 days a week now). Plugged one into docking stations with VGA, the other with HDMI cable - both connected flawlessly and went right to the correct signal. They also were correctly detected by Windows and setup automatically to 1920x1080 resolution.
As these are being used for IT work, not really pushing the gaming capabilities, but the text and images are displayed very crisply. Brightness seems just as good as my ASUS gaming monitor that cost over $50 more. So the value is definitely there.
Want to give kudos to Amazon Customer Service. When ordered they were on back order - expected to get restocked on 3/28, but monitors showed up on the 27th - though smashed. Contacted Customer Support right away and they issues return shipping and ordered replacements. At that time they said stock was empty and apologized that replacements would not arrive till after 4/18. Restock came early, and I got them today 4/1 - very pleasantly surprised.
