Pros

My only regret about ordering this sceptra uhd monitor is that i did not buy it before i took delivery of an lg qhd monitor. Only flaw is the huge pedestal base.

The imac screen has a little more glossy finish so you get more of the mirror effect. I highly recommend this for any type of graphic design work. If you are trying to add a secondary monitor to your imac setup.

Another interesting strangeness is how the plugs go into the display. They come with a stand, a screwdriver, and a display port cable. The only problem i have with this display is the power cord.



Cons

The monitor doesn't have an auto brightness adjustment. You have to manually do this every time from the monitor menu. The io panel is cheap and faulty. Now i switch to hdmi port, which only has a 60hz refresh, cannot complain more with it.

The monitor is still useable, but it freaks me out many times a day, and interrupts my work. They wouldn't exchange defective device number 2. Has to be a refund, but not a full refund.

Quality


This is my second sceptre monitor ( i have been using hd 1080 for more than a year)nice vivid colors, great clarity.


This quality screen was a great addition to my small macbook pro.


My guess is cheaply made circuit board where power plugs in because it was bad.


It was only ever used once, plugged in and never touched again as it was mounted on a triple vesa mount.

Price


For the money this is a great buy.


And its just fantastic at such an affordable price.


The reality is it’s a $179, 27” 4k panel.


Under $200 a pop is criminally cheap for the quality of monitor you will receive.

Shipping


Update: replacement item was delivered in a day, and this time everything is perfect.

Packaging/appearance


Looks absolutely great on my macbook air m2.


The first monitor i received looked perfect but has an intermittent line of dead pixels.


This box also came without an outer box, which makes me wonder how much was a manufacturing issue vs transport issue.


Out of the box colors are slightly punchy in a visually pleasing way similar to how samsung phone screens look.

Competitiveness


I think i like it better than the much pricier samsung brand monitor i have as a counterpart.


I feel like the 4k resolution might be juuust slightly less than more expensive brands/models, but i have to get within 12" to ...  Read More


It's not a top end monitor, but compared to the others in its price point it's excellent.

    For those not getting 4k out of it if you read the directions it says to use hdmi 1 not the 2 one for the 4k 60hz


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Im sure either of the display ports will do the 4k 60hz i will try that as well but if you only have an hdmi port on your computer use hdmi 1 look at it they are numbered one and two use 1


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Had to retire that 24 inch asus 238h i had bought in 2011


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Theymight be ok audio if you are just using for occasional video or zoom


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If you need decent sound though you may want to buy a good standalone speaker set to use with these


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    As mentioned by others the sound for these monitors is not worth even trying but you are buying these to look at not listen to


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Ive never even had one for work


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But thats not a negative just something to get used to after having used 27in monitors since forever
