Sceptre Curved 24-inch Gaming Monitor 1080p R1500 98% sRGB HDMI x2 VGA Build-in Speakers, VESA Wall Mount Machine Black (C248W-1920RN Series)

Extremely impressed, better quality than you expect and larger screen too!
Larger than advertised… great for me! Most monitors are measured from lower corner to upper corner but this one for some reason is measured from one side to the other. The rim around the monitor is almost non-existent making the screen larger and easier to see. I wish the stand was adjustable so that I can raise the monitor the the height I want but it’s fine for the price. All of the ports allow me to add devices so no more switching cables for each system.When I power up my computer I find it comes on faster than my other monitors and is brighter. The clarity of the image is top quality and the colors are vivid and accurate, more so than my HP monitor.I wish I could tell you about gaming but I’m an audio engineer and video editor so I don’t know the gaming capabilities. I can say that set up was easy, and using this monitor for one day had me rushing to buy a second so I can wrap it around and have a dual screen set up.I worried that the curved screen would be an issue but I found it to be easier on my eyes when I’m writing books in MS Word and when I’m editing videos the clarity is top notch. I’m almost glad that my old HP died and went to monitor heaven, this Sceptre 1500R monitor is surprisingly better!

Great monitor. Adequate speakers.
Great monitor. Only drawback being is the speakers they’re not loud and they sound low quality. performs great otherwise looks crisp with my PC. I use my headset or my personal computer speakers for the volume so it’s not that big of a deal for the speakers on the screen.

Good Display
I bought one of these C24 monitors back in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic for my home office setup. I had an old desktop with dual monitors that I was using for personal use, so I didn’t want to plug up my laptop to those as I needed a different setup to achieve a mental separation from work and play.The 2020 version of this monitor is a bit different than the 2022 version, now that I have them both mounted side by side. The most noticeable difference is the bezel, which is thicker on the new screen, though better. Reason being on the 2020, the bezel stops way short, almost a CM short, of the actual display range. It’s just black screen. The thin bezel, which a good idea, literally did nothing for the experience due to this dead zone between the viewable display and the bezel. I measured and the 2022’s bezel covers this zone. That gives it a bit more strength, but not as good of a feel. It also gets around a bit of the false advertising of a edgeless display. While the 2020 was pretty edgeless, the display just didn’t get all the way to the edge of the screen.I wouldn’t use these for gaming. If you’re a real PC gamer, get a 1ms, 144hz display. That’s far better than these, which on their best day in ideal conditions get 4-10ms and 75hz. They say they are great for gaming because of course they do, it’s for marketing. But just save up and buy a $300-400 display that is designed to enhance your game play. Running Age of Empires, sure, this monitor is fine. Running Apex, CoD, or anything like that would just have tearing and clipping. Those types of games really need faster refresh rates.Speakers are straight up garbage…I’d rather they just stop putting speakers in monitors and just give us more edgelessness or invest that in a better power supply or something. I couldn’t care less about monitor speakers when Logi sells speakers that are far better for less than $30.Another major difference was the addition of a second HDMI port. The 2020 only has 1, where the 2022 has 2. I’m not going to be using it, but it’s definitely a feature some need when using multiple devices on a single monitor (in lieu of a KVM or something).The 2020 also had a solid metal stand and mount, versus the 2022 which came with a black plastic stand and mount. I mounted both to a VESA arm mount, so it’s moot for me, but there is most definitely a visual difference as the metal one was silver and stronger. Probably a cost swap due to them adding another HDMI and making the whole deal cheaper since 2020, when I believed I paid around $125.The power cable on these are not standard…which kind of makes me mad. Most monitors have the 2 or 3 prong power cables (like on a TV), which is ideal due to the universal nature of it. I’ve got those cables for days around here, and at varying lengths depending on my needs. These come with a proprietary plug and 3ft cable. That won’t work for a lot of set ups (especially for gamers who might have multi-display setups or a standing desk with a limited plug length). You could always find another one online somewhere that is the same port and wattage, but why not just use the standard, Sceptre? You aren’t Apple…The curve of these monitors is a bit of a gimmick as well. I’ve got a 34″ ultrawide curved by Gigabyte and that thing is most definitely curved. These are slightly curved, but not enough to really have the effect.Regardless of any shortcomings, these are $100 monitors that work well and look good for office work. Definitely recommend for WFH warriors or start ups, as they seem to take a bit of abuse (I’ve used the 2020 daily, moved it all around my office, and haven’t cleaned it much).

Longevity and Quality
Great monitor for starting out. Bought this a few years back in 2024. Still have it as a back up to this day and it still works perfectly fine and handles console gaming perfectly. Works well on PC gaming as well but refresh rate is what drops it down.

Excellent graphics for my 11 year olds gaming system. 1 year later and the monitor is just as good as the day he first got it!

First, it is 75Hz but it defaults to 60hz at least if you connect via HDMI. The only place I found it was in the graphics driver control panel under PC connections. NOT under the standard (native) Ultra HD, HD, SD. Windows 10 settings menu is always a terrible excuse for administrative controls, you’ll never find it there.The screen bezel comes in a bit when displayed about 5mm so it’s not truely edgeless like a MacBook Pro. But it’s a sleek looking monitor that’s fairly sturdy.I was honestly worried it might be too thin like it would break in shipping, but it’s slightly thicker than you’d expect which adds more to it’s durability.The speakers are mostly treble, it feels very office space laptop speaker listening environment so it’s fine for news clips and YouTube but if you want to listen to music you’ll probably opt for headphones or a smart speaker of some kind to get any background or atmospherics unless you want it all treble and no bass. 7/10Overall I’m satisfied, it’s a good match with my budget gaming PC, it doesn’t overstress because of 144hz or 4k issues without an expensive graphics card.That in mind it’s not 1440 or 4k so it’s a nice LED curved monitor but if you press your face to the screen you can see very super tiny led pixels but then you’re just getting the screen all oily.If these are big issues for you then you should be spending $500+ on a monitor and graphics card each because that’s where the market is as of Mar/2020.

Me encanta esta marca y este monitor lo compré a un super precio en comparación a otros productos del mismo estilo de otras marcas. Para mi funciona de lujo y me ha gustado mucho.
