Sceptre 20" 1600 x 900 75Hz LED Monitor 2x HDMI VGA Built-in Speakers, sRGB 99% Machine Black (E209W-16003RT series)

I have had PC issues for years, this latest one turned out to be the monitor. I bought this to replace my monitor, plugged it into my HDMI cable and into my PC, and this lovely monitor lit right up. It was easy setup, has good quality and clarity, is on the smaller end but fits my desk well, and works well with my build

For how affordable this thing is, it does exactly the job I need it to do and honestly beyond. I need my monitor at eye height because of neck strain but my keyboard at hip level for the same reason (posture) and instead of becoming a contortionist I just figured it'd be easier to get another monitor to hook up to via HDMI. My slightly more expensive -- but still on the cheaper side -- gaming monitor didn't come with internal speakers and it's been a colossal pain to hook up my external speakers to it in order to get sound, so my mission this time was to find an AFFORDABLE yet-not-crap monitor for writing that would also allow me to listen to music through my laptop. No fuss, no extra wires. I love this little guy so much. Conveniently placed buttons on the side, all the hookups you'll need, and it looks exactly like my computer monitor: no more, no less, which again is exactly what I wanted. I won't pretend that the sound isn't compressed, the speakers ARE small, so don't expect your bass to shake the roof off your house. But in terms of functionality, personality, affordability? This thing is AWESOME. Super easy on the wallet, cute, and does the job. Love it love it love it. <3

Previously I was using a 28 inch monitor that my brother let me borrow. The highest resolution it could get to, was 1024x768. So needless to say when I received this monitor in the mail, I felt like a fish out of water. Putting it together (placing the screen on the stand) was extremely easy and it comes with a warranty that starts the date of your purchase. The first time I turned this on, I was amazed at how clear and vibrant it looked. I love the options that the monitor features, especially the blue light option because I wear glasses and suffer from chronic migraines so using this monitor doesn't trigger a headache. I was even more amazed when gaming, how much of the game I can see because of the wider resolution and the convenience of the speaker and HDMI plugs in the back of the monitor. The only downside is that if you're laying down in bed while looking at the monitor, you can barely see the picture. If you're not looking directly at the monitor while upright, you won't be able to see things clearly. Other than that, I love this monitor.

I usually just buy $75 smart tvs for my monitors, but I needed something a little smaller to put on my kitchen table where I have a 32-inch smart TV in the back. I work on my computer while watching videos and movies. This little monitor fits perfect on my table. I had bought a portable monitor, but I never really got it up and running. It was obviously meant for traveling and laptops. I still have it but have never tried hooking it up. This monitor has two HDMI inputs, one VGA input, and audio inputs. Setup was simple. I've had this monitor for several months now, and it has worked great -- no complaints.

The quality is clear and vibrant, the thin design is amazing and definitely saves space, it is very sturdy and easy to mount, it is very versatile, perfect price

This review is for the “(Sceptre 20" 1600 x 900 75Hz LED Monitor 2X HDMI VGA Built-in Speakers, sRGB 99% Machine Black (E209W-16003RT Series) aka “20” 75Hz Wide Viewing Angle” monitor. I got 2 of these for $115/ea. It was difficult to return them and go with two Samsung 1080p IPS 22” monitors instead. For some reason, the non-IPS screens (like these) have a hard time displaying an even black/gray screen. The pictures with the grayscale test have my very high-quality laptop monitor below them as a reference in each picture for what the black/gray screen SHOULD look like. The monitor is on the top of each picture and my laptop is below it. The laptop screen is mirrored on the Spectre monitor above it. These exhibit pretty bad “ghosting.” To be fair, it is not as bad in real life as the camera makes the monitor look. But I still found it too distracting to work with. Because the screen is always darker at the top than the bottom (regardless of viewing angle), it can be difficult to see vertical scroll bars because it fades from normal at the top to washed-out at the bottom. Googling information can also be difficult because the color change of a site you have already been to on Google is more difficult to see at the bottom of the screen than at the top. It is also harder to work in Excel because the grid lines are not an even shade across the entire screen. It is not horrible like the HP V20 HD+ 19.5-inch monitor. But it is still not great. I found it too distracting to work with as a home office monitor. There should be 6 pictures showing the different shades of black/gray mirrored off my laptop onto the Spectre 20” monitor. The monitor in the picture also has a bad pixel a few inches from the top left corner that you can see in the darkest pictures as green. I personally do not take off points because my specific product/item has a flaw/defect. Even the best manufacturers have products that pass quality control. So I simply mention it and let readers decide for themselves if it is too common of a problem for them to decide not to purchase it. I only give bad reviews for “systemic problems” that affect all of a product line like this. There are many different options for changing the brightness, tint, color, sharpness, etc. But unfortunately, because the screen is not even, if the top looks good the bottom looks bad and vice versa. On the good side it does have some really nice features for the money. I will miss the dual HDMI ports and the speakers even though they’re not very good. But this allows you to plug in a Roku stick and watch/listen to TV while working on the other monitor if you have two (see picture). I also personally liked the size better than the 22” Samsung 1080p monitors I’m keeping. Two 22” monitors are a little big for my very small desk even when VESA mounted. The Spectre monitors are also VESA mountable which was another reason I purchased them. They come with screws that create a gap of about ¾” between the monitor and a VESA mount (see picture). I’m not exactly sure why they did this, but it does make it easier to access cables in the back and it was not an inconvenience for me. There are many different options for changing the brightness, tint, color, sharpness, etc. But unfortunately, because the screen is not even, if the top looks good the bottom looks bad and vice versa. If you don’t have much money and these are on sale for $120 or less, it might be a monitor worth considering. But the one I opened to try/test had a defective pixel so I had to return it anyways. And I never opened the 2nd one because I decided I just couldn’t work with this monitor for most likely many years. The Samsung’s look fantastic straight out of the box without having to mess with screen adjustments. And I got them on sale from Amazon for $140/ea. For my needs, as a home office monitor(s), the Samsung’s are much better and worth the extra $25/ea. But the Samsung 22" IPS monitors are normally $165+/ea. It would have been a more difficult choice if I had to pay full price for the Samsung’s.

Previously I had a laptop that had run its life span so when I got a new computer I opted for a compact computer and separate monitor. I was limited in screen size because of my space so this 20” monitor was perfect. Only took minutes to install and although it’s only three inches larger than my old laptop screen but I feel like I’m working on a big screen! The price was fantastic and I’m very happy with my choice. Description was spot on and it came packaged very securely to protect against damage. I’m very happy with my choice.

This monitor is garbage. I don't normally write reviews but this one has me abnormally aggravated due to my circumstances. I purchased this monitor to install in my portable PS4 case to take on deployment with me to occupy some downtime. Well, this monitor has robbed me of that. It continues to give me a white screen of death. It will do it on start up or sometimes when simply changing from game to video disc withing the PS4. This is with out touching any wires or moving it. I have even had it happen when I simply came out of a game to go to settings. I know it is not a connection issues because when I try to pull up it's own onscreen menu that does not even come up. You can tell it tried because of a red bar on the top. I can hear the audio through the speakers but no video on the screen. Up until now unplugging it and plugging it back in repeatedly has worked. However, I have spent the last 2 hours doing this with no success. I guess the reason I hate this monitor so much this very minute is because there is nothing I can do since i am deployed in a remote combat zone and the 30 day returt option is no real option and it will take me a month to get a suitable replacement. I do not recommend this product to anyone.

update november 2022; there's a dead pixel in the monitor but it's small and offf to the side so it's not too noticeable. the monitor still works fine, takes a bit longer than my other to load up. (first monitor) given how cheap i got it for too, this monitor is pretty good! i used to think it was my pc that was bad until i got this monitor. it's short though and non adjustable height so u might want a stand.

Buen producto, cumple con características descritas, funciona muy bien.

Packaging was super, look and feel is slim and very nice and elegant. However the picture quality leaves a lot to be desired. Everything looks washed out and doesn't pop like it would on another monitor, that's too bad otherwise fit and finish is great

Me gustó que llegó en excelente estado y lo ligero que es, además que incluyó el cable HDMI.

I use this for working from home. It is a decent monitor for my daily use. I wouldn’t say the picture is amazing to withhold anything spectacular in gameplay. There is only an HDMI port, no display port. I had to buy an adapter to hook up to my laptop.
