I also found that the base is supportive, but limited in its range of motion. The screen is bright and crisp, and it’s excellent for watching movies as well. The large size and high resolution makes it perfect for this, and the 2ms response time means there’s no smearing when you’re playing an FPS. Be aware that if you want to use this monitor for anything that requires color accuracy (like working with digital photos) you will need to calibrate this monitor.įor gaming, the Sceptre x270W works great. Of course, the majority of your color adjustment will take place in your operating system, so this isn’t a major issue. There are several pre-set color choices, labeled “Movie”, “Gaming”, and “Text”, but all they really do is change the color temperature. The on screen controls are as you would expect, and easy to navigate, however I would have liked to see better control over the color. That’s not to say that there’s anything desperately wrong with the monitor, it just feels like it could be better. My problem is that I expect a bit more from my displays, such as color accuracy and the means to adjust it.

But if you’re looking for a larger monitor for playing games or surfing the web, I’d recommend their 27-inch monitor with absolutely no reservations. Sceptre has a reputation as being a bit of an also-ran, bargain product.
