Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Eleven days of owning and no issues, but after reading the reviews and seeing all of this crap said about DisplayPort ports dying, non-mountable, not powering on, Sceptre isn't a brand name. I'm left to ask a serious question. Are any of you taking into mind what comes with the monitor, taking advantage of it, and using the right equipment. I'm gonna cover a lot of this in this review. 'Sceptre is not a brand name' ___________________________ What? Sceptre is a relatively big brand and a decent one at that. Though they've always been on the budget friendlier side of the equation, and there's tons of research you can do on it to reinforce my claims. 'DisplayPort dying within a month' ________________________________ If this ever happens, there are several things that need to be considered. 1. Was this during a graphics driver update? If so, unplug the DisplayPort cable, connect an HDMI, DDU your drivers, and install again with the cable in fresh. 2. What kind of DisplayPort cable are you using? I don't care if the monitor came with one. I don't care if you have a DisplayPort cable laying around. Purchase a VESA Certified cable and ONLY use VESA Certified cables like this one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CD1FB3A/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Cables can kill a DisplayPort rendering it entirely useless. Stop being cheap and making up excuses for your monitors port dying out. 'How do I mount the monitor?' ____________________________ There's a VESA Certified mounting plate that comes with this monitor. You need to already have a mount setup and ready to use, and be ready to make sure the mount supports the monitors weight. After that, attach the mounting plate to the monitor, and then screw it in with the screw provided for the stand. After that, you want to mount this to your VESA mount, yes it will flex the plate, but at least it's keeping the monitor stable. Continue to mount until tightened. All mounts should be compatible. Please stop coming to Amazon ready to complain about something you may have caused on your own. Sceptre doesn't deserve to be strung out all over the place because of human error. If you encounter any sort of issue on opening, you need to be in their Amazon messages issuing a return or RMA, not writing asinine reviews and giving the company a bad rep. Onto my opinions! This is a budget monitor, it has BUDGET MONITOR ISSUES. The monitor looks great, sure. Though I will say, this monitor doesn't exactly achieve the whole ultrawide appeal to the fullest extreme. Yes, it's great. Though I feel wider would've been a little more genuine to the ultrawide claim. So far, I love it. Though I have noticed, if you don't mess with the settings properly, there is ghosting, dull looking image, and so on. NVIDIA users should completely avoid this monitor. There's been countless reports of this monitor flat out not achieving 144Hz+ 100FPS+ goals on this panel. A lot of it seems to lean to this monitor being tied to FreeSync and not cross compatible. I use an RX 5600 XT and have hardly any issue. All of these things need to be taken completely into account before you buy this. I can recommend this monitor to responsible people who are actually going to verify issues, and obtain the proper equipment before purchasing, as you should. I like it, I will likely be upgrading though. This is likely going to be a media monitor for me in the near future, just because I think I'd like stacked ultrawide panels and a different panel. Gaming works fine on here, though there's a reported issue of ghosting at 200Hz. I can't test this myself, though I'm sure it's something that can be fixed. Hopefully everything I covered was at least of some use to people, thank you for reading.
