Reviews Sceptre Curved 30" 21:9 Gaming LED Monitor 2560x1080p UltraWide Ultra Slim HDMI DisplayPort Up to 85Hz MPRT 1ms FPS-RTS Build-in Speakers, Machine Black (C305W-2560UN)
BUY NOWGreat screen, truly awful speakers
This would have gotten 5 stars if it did NOT come with built in speakers.
I bought this for my office, not to game with or watch tv or movies. As a screen it is NICE. It is a good curve, great matte finish that repels glare. Nice interface & easy to set up. Its big enough that I can run 2-3 apps side by side without going with a 2nd monitor - saving my 2nd monitor for dedicated apps that I dont need to close or minimize to do other work. Solidly built, it comes with options for height & wall mounting. Almost impossible to knock over using the desk mount kit.
It actually comes with a real screwdriver for assembly - not a goofy piece of angled metal that acts like a screwdriver, a real honest to goodness screwdriver with a handle and a silicone tip for storage. I have a workshop, so I don't need another screwdriver, but it impressed me that Sceptre included such a nice item simply to secure 4 small screws. That says something about the company. Which is why the built in speakers bother me so much that it knocked off 2 stars.
I specifically bought this unit because it offered built in speakers, leading me to think I could get away with not having external speakers on my desk. These speakers are AWFUL. Tinny sound, quiet, zero mids or lows - within a minute of using this, I knew I would need speakers. Why even bother putting them in if this is what you're gonna offer?
