Sceptre 27 inch QHD IPS LED Monitor 2560x1440 HDR400 HDMI DisplayPort up to 144Hz 1ms Height Adjustable, Build-in Speakers, Gunmetal Black (E275B-QPN168)

The picture quality is good, no noticeable ghosting and the response time is equally unnoticeable and so excellent.The colors on this monitor are definitely a bit more saturated but what this leads to is neon lights and bright colors to look fuller and to pop out more which I think looks really nice and should be how they should look.The HDR setting at this low of a brightness isn't too impressive, I barely notice a difference if there even is one but it is nice to know that technically this monitor has HDR.Another feature of this monitor that's nice to have but is halfbaked are the speakers since the speakers are awful. No bass, all mids, low quality, low volume, but you're most likely not going to be using them anyways so they're just kinda nice to have.Yet another feature that's nice to have is the RGB lights that are on the back of the monitor. You will almost never notice them especially if you have the monitor against a wall like I do and especially since the LEDS aren't all that bright, but hey: you got cool lights on the back of your monitor that you can change the lighting effects of one time when you first get the monitor so that's cool.Another feature of this monitor is the stand but what makes this feature different from the previous ones is that this one is actually quite good. The stand does have a little tilt forward and a fair amount back and it can swivel side to side a good amount but what's most impressive is that the screen can be flipped vertically which may not seem too useful for most but for me, reading comics on PC has never been better especially since the resolution of the screen is 1440p so I can take in all those small details which I may have missed before.Oh, and speaking of 1440p, this was my first 1440p monitor (excluding the previous one I bought which I disliked greatly and promptly returned and bought this one to replace because of the terrible ghosting), and I have to say that the increased resolution isn't too noticeable at a glance (I wouldn't upgrade to 1440p if you don't have the power or money for it and I'd rather focus on getting a 120hz or more 1080p monitor first) but if you pay attention you'll notice that everything is more clear and just simply prettier and that the pixels are far and few in-between. 1440p and this monitor have been a real treat to me so far and I would highly recommend getting this monitor as it is great and great for the price.

Having purchased two of these monitors for my setup, I can gladly say that they're an incredible value for their price point! I play games, but I also do art and the picture and clarity are incredible. I'm so thrilled with these monitors and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great quality item without breaking the bank!

I have been a PC gamer for years, and I have been searching for a new monitor for quite some time. I researched dozens of different brand names from low end budget to high end LG, Samsung, or BenQ gaming monitors, and this Sceptre 27" 1440p HDR gaming monitor checked all my boxes. I wanted as many high-end features that I could find, while paying as little as possible (dont we all). This monitor is with out a doubt one of the best budget monitors that you will find in the 1440p range. It even out ranks or beats some high end monitors that I have come across. It comes with 10bit color or 8bit with dithering which is comparable. 1.07 billion colors at 135% sRGB which means it has great wide color gamut. It has 1m GtG latency and its brightness peaks at 450nits with HDR400. For a 1440p IPS,144 frames per second, HDR capable, 10bit wide color gamut w/ HDR, sporting 1ms grey-to-grey latency at 135% sRGB, this monitor is an absolute beast. Try finding these specs on another 1440p HDR monitor and see how much you will have to pay. This is my first time using HDR and this monitor is brighter than most other 1440p HDR gaming monitors that peak out at around 400. So all these colors pop and the fact that its an IPS screen helps bring things to life. For below $200, you will not find a better gaming monitor (trust me, I looked for months). Also, Sceptre has a 'No dead pixel guarantee'. So thats a relief right from the start that no matter what you wont be stuck with a green or black spot(s) chillin on your brand new gaming monitor.Now as it is a 'budget' monitor there are some caveats, but for the price they are perfectly acceptable. First 10-bit is only available using 120hz, if you want to use 144hz its 8-bit w/ dithering which is not the same thing, but its very hard to tell the difference between the two. It is also possible that my Display Port cable is an older version and its not letting me access the higher setting because of it, but I dont think so. Also, 1ms GtG latency only comes on if you select the 'overdrive' option within the monitors settings. Otherwise its 5ms. Again, not a big deal because its easy to access. The last negative thing I have to mention is the stand. Its a big monitor with a beefy and very tall stand. You cannot adjust the height unless I am missing something. You can tilt the screen in all directions, up/down/left/right and rotate it into portrait view, which is nice, but I would like it a few inches lower. The bezels are nice and fairly small on the left and right sides.Again, overall you will be hard pressed to find a comparable 1440p IPS HDR gaming monitor for this price that are rockin these kind of specs 10-bit 135% sRGB is hard to find even on high end models. Ive had zero issues in the past 3 months of constant use and Im glad I waited and kept searching until I found this one. If you have read other comments about HDR not working or a 'washed-out' look, that is a problem with HDR settings within windows and not a monitor problem. I recommend that if you do have an issue (I had no issues at all), then search for an HDR settings guide and you will be good to go! I hope this guide has helped and besides, if you dont like it, you can return it and try your second choice! However, once you launch your first game, you will be glad you bought it.

Monitor was fine (but just fine) for the first couple of months. I thought I had bought a 4k monitor and was disappointed to discover I'd made a mistake and bought this 2k version. HDR implementation was lackluster. Missing a lot of basic picture adjustments. Not that big of a deal, I decided to live with it because it was a good price. 2 months later I moved into a new place and carefully transported this monitor separately in my vehicle. When I set it up, the screen was super washed out, almost completely white even with no input plugged in. Unusable. Tried adjusting every setting, factory reset, different cables and ports. I repair and maintain computers and other electronic equipment for a living and I've never seen a monitor fail like that. Would not recommend to anyone.EDIT: Ok internet, I'm not too proud to admit when I'm wrong. I had mixed up the power supply for this monitor when I hooked it up at the new place. When I realized my mistake and swapped them back, this monitor worked fine. But again, just fine.

Had this monitor for over 3 years now, Amazing mount and display, lackluster speakers but come on will u really be using them (they work tho) also hasnt gone up in price since I bought it which is cool to see. Overall amazing product from SPECTRE and will defo recomend to anyone trying to get into 1440p 144 hz gaming.
