   I purchased two of these 34 inch 4K curved monitors to use in my home office environment. I have multiple windows open at the same time, and using a single 42″ monitor still didn’t give me the flexibility I wanted, hence two of these.They arrived yesterday and firstly, I have recently purchased monitors online only to have them arrive with a cracked screen. These are very well packaged and were perfect out of the box. That said, assembly of the simple but effective stand was three screws and all done. Very stable on my work surface. I am using a Windows 11 Pro laptop that has all the bells and whistles, and connect external devices through a hub / port. Now, here is why my review has the headline as you see it.After hooking everything up (power and HDMI and you’re done), and booting my computer, I had one display that was gorgeous with 4K resolution, and the other so blurry I couldn’t read it at 640×480 resolution. ?? It goes without saying that all of my Bios, drivers, and connections were solid, cables were good, etc. Windows would not let me select a resolution on the second monitor – it was all grayed out. I tried the monitor setup button itself – no joy as the resolution is controlled by the computer graphics card. I re-booted, I swapped cables, still no joy. Obviously this is a simple user-error, but it was really late in the day and beyond me to figure it out.I called the toll free number for Tech Support that was in the setup guide, and they have hours until early evening PST (I’m EST) so that was good. And then – after going through the call directory for Tech Support I got the dreaded recording “All agents are assisting other customers. You may leave a message or try again later.” Yeah – right; we’ve all heard that before. So, I left a message that I needed setup help, my name and number, and went downstairs to fix some dinner.Here’s the incredible part, and the First Shock. Less than 15 minutes and my cell rings and it is Sceptre Tech Support! Not a robot – a person! I went back to my home office, and started by telling the very polite young man (who spoke impeccable English) that I had just unboxed these and had not even registered them yet. Second Shock – he didn’t put me through name, address, email, phone, model, serial number, and the rest of the gamut that is normal. He simply asked what my problem was and what I had tried. We walked through that, changed around one connection, re-booted, and all was perfect! Third Shock – he stayed with me through it all, made sure I could shut down and start up without difficulty or change in display quality, confirmed monitor settings for my usage profile, and then took some extra time to tell me about features I had seen in the user guide that might be beneficial for me given my use, and walked me through those as well.I can promise you I will tell this story again and again. Beyond that, I’m going to look at everything this company sells and – if I have a need – I will buy their products. Those of you in the electronics world will understand how extraordinary this level of customer interaction is in today’s world. I wish I had this person’s name, as he deserves the accolades, but he didn’t give it – he just was there to help.Wow . . .

   I just received this monitor today! I’m not pro level tech savvy but I really wanted an upgrade from my 32in 2017 TCL TV. I was looking for something bigger with better picture but within my budget.This Sceptre monitor definitely wasn’t within my budget and I “YOLO’ed” on this purchase.I must say that I am satisfied and definitely don’t have that post purchase-high regret. Lol.Pros:-Monitor came intact and well sealed.-Has DisplayPort cable in box for higher refresh rate option – 165Hz – great for PC gamers. You’ll need to have your own HDMI cable, however.-The difference in picture quality from what I’ve experienced before is just amazing especially with the curvature of the monitor.Cons:-The Vesa mount adapter it came with I’m not a fan of. Despite it being functional, I feel uneasy with there only being one screw to secure the mount adapter to the monitor. There are no other screw holes aside from one single point on the backside of kmonitor to install your base or for wall/vesa mount.

   Overall a great monitor. Came with 1 dead pixel but a great display the refresh rate and latency are immaculate to what I was using before. Only negative in my opinion is the backlighting (who’s is to be expected with these types of monitors) because it isn’t LED the screen has some lit up areas on a solid black screen test due to the backlighting. But it’s only noticeable when on a solid black screen. Overall the monitor performs great and would recommend to anyone looking for a great monitor will a low budget. I play COD, VAL, Rust, CSGO, and many more games with no issues. Haven’t seen any “ghosting” from the monitor either, which is another big plus. Would’ve been a 5/5 stars but the 1 bad pixel it came with was upsetting.

   I’ve only had this for a few days, but I’ve already had a stellar experience with this monitor. With the ability to slightly deconstruct it for moving, the ability to wall mount, and also simply being able to change the angle of the screen, it makes portability and ease of access amazing.The picture quality is fantastic. Sure, it’s not 1440p, but it costs the same as one and has a higher ghz max than any I’ve seen. I doubt I will ever need to use all 240ghz, but it gives me a good feeling knowing that refresh rate will never be a problem as long as I own this monitor (which I intend to for a long time!). It’s a good feeling to have, knowing that if I ever upgrade my computer again, I won’t need to worry about my monitors capability to handle it. Also, the price for what you’re getting with this piece of technology is fantastic. It’s a huge screen, with great power and movement abilities. The only slight downside is, as I stated earlier, that the quality is not 1440p. Frankly, I don’t care at all about this, but it might to some, so I figured I might as well include that. Otherwise, absolutely incredible! I’ll be sure to update this if any problems arise. For now, GET THIS!!!!

   The response of this monitor is absolutely incredible, there is some screen tearing on lower refresh rates if you play console, it causes ghosting, which basically means you see double images at 60 frames. But on PC, the monitor runs like a dream, the monitor is fully capable of running overclocked GPUs, especially higher end GPUs, like the 3060, or 6700xt. Just remember when using this monitor, if you overclocked your memory to high, it’ll cause pixels to flicker. Overall a great monitor for the money.

   I bought this monitor for a new PC build I’m currently assembling. In the meantime, I’m giving it some use with my PS4 and, in accordance with other reviews, I need to warn you of annoying Ghosting issues both in gaming and while watching videos. In my experience it doesn’t show up always but yes very often specially in dark areas.Disappointment hits like a truck since I cannot afford as much but the reason of the title is because it seems like all these bad issues are not presented i. e. when you’re gaming on 240 fps, which is the aimed/intended frame rate for this monitor. So I’m upgrading this review and even giving it one more star when I test it properly in a 240 fps-capable PC and game.Now, I’ll give you some useful tweakings in the settings to mitigate the Ghosting that kinda worked for me (obviously, not at 100%) and it has its drawbacks but it is what it is:* The higher the CONTRAST level you put, the less the Ghosting effect will be, but don’t expect it to disappear completely. The drawback of this is that you literally can’t read a document text and the whites are too bright, so I recommend to reduce the BACKLIGHT to something like 20 to try to compensate the exaggerated Contrast.* Look for the OVERDRIVE option and play with the options that range from low, medium, high, etc. to see if the Ghosting decreases. While it’s true that Overdrive is a good measure to get rid of Ghosting, keep in mind that a very high Overdrive can cause “inverse Ghosting” that’s basically another annoying issue.*Look for the BLACK LEVEL EQUALIZER in the Colors tab, and just like the Contrast option, the higher the number, the less Ghosting you get.There’s probably some other settings that can be tweaked in order to reduce Ghosting but at least these ones worked for me to an extent. You can also reduce Ghosting if you fidget with in-system settings directly from a PC, which is what I’m going to try in a near future. All in all, I wish you good luck if you’re in a situation like me that cannot afford a replacement/refund. Otherwise, just look for another monitor option that, while a little more expensive, will probably not have these disappointing issues this one has.

   This is a pretty good monitor that’s fairly easy to setup. I don’t like that you need to use tools (that they also provide in the box) to put together the stand unlike some of the other monitor I’ve had that had a completely tool less assembly.The screen itself is quite smooth and has a very usable on screen menu for adjustment and other settings. Though it’s a shame that they don’t provide a HDMI cable in the box just a DisplayPort cable, I would have also been fine if they had let me choose either a HDMI or a DisplayPort.The one thing I am very disappointed by is that there was a dead pixel on my screen, not game changing but very annoying nonetheless.

   This monitor is incredible not only because it has 240hz and it’s curved the price is amazing only for 140$ you can get a monitor that is this good it’s definitely worth it, it’s the best monitor I’ve ever seen.

   As others have said, the single point mount is the only weak point. I have it as tight as I dare. and it still twist up and down. Who cares about speakers? I have never turned them on (over a month). Picure, refresh rate and size are fantastic. The display port cable could be longer as the monitor is large thus a little more distance to the computer. Can put three web pages on it easily for work or school. I play games on it and maybe why the mount is important to me as I bang the desk. Bottom line, yes, buy it again at $300

    Great build. The stand is nice and sturdy. I thought it was gonna be too small but it’s almost the perfect size. Graphics is outstanding. It does have built in speakers but I always use a headset for the microphone so I can’t speak to the quality of sound. I will be purchasing one for my son for Christmas. 100% recommended.
