Best features and performance to price sub-$300 gaming monitor on Amazon!
Was shopping online with my son for his first gaming PC (which we decided upon an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU with Nvidia RTX 2060 Super GPU model) and I quickly realized handing him down my old Samsung 27" 1080p 60hz LCD monitor as was the original plan would have been a total waste of his new computer!So having saved a couple hundred bucks buying a pre-built instead of building our own with the same specs (as PC components are experiencing shortages cause of COVID-19 and have gone up drastically in price), I told my son he could pick out any monitor on Amazon he wanted on a budget of $300, and he picked out this one.I could instantly see why he chose this model which at 30" was bigger than most other gaming monitors with decent specs at this price range and it was an ultrawide, which made me proud (like him being a chip off the old block) as I game on a 49" super ultrawide monitor myself. But the real "wow factor" of this model, of course, is the 200hz refresh rate which is a rarity in itself especially for ultrawides but almost unheard of at this price range.The only thing I wasn't sure about was I wasn't familiar with the Sceptre brand. Generally as a rule I've stayed away from buying displays from lesser-known manufacturers as with panels you often get what you pay for and "cheap" usually turns out more "expensive" in the long run, if not just "frustrating" and "disappointing".But this was my son's computer and his pick for the monitor and I was proud that he did all his own research so I wanted to support him. So Sceptre it was!Well I'm glad I didn't say anything cause this monitor rocks! The colors looked great straight out of the box and I haven't felt the need to do any calibration of any sort. Contrast and blacks are above average on this display and well beyond my expectations for a sub-$300 model. Even though there's no HDR and I believe it's rated at just 250 nits, it looks much brighter than that, possibly because of its high native contrast.But what both my son and I were most looking forward to see, of course, was how it performed at 200hz. So I fired up 3DMark and ran a few benchmark tests and...WOW!The motion on all frame rates was buttery smooth. On some tests we were reaching fps of over 600 so we knew we hit the monitor's 200 frames per second limit and it looked incredible! No tearing or ghosting or any sign of distortion whatsoever. My own 49" super ultrawide only goes up to 144hz and I could see a discernible difference in frame rate running identical tests on our PCs both of which were pushing frames well beyond the limits of our monitors. This monitor's 200hz refresh rate is legit!Another great feature of this monitor is its support of AMD Freesync. It worked flawlessly with my son's RTX 2060 Super both in fullscreen and windowed mode, even though the Nvidia Control Panel said the monitor wasn't "validated as G-SYNC Compatible". I've actually had problems in the past getting this compatibility feature to work on other Freesync monitors so was really relieved to find it working perfectly on the Sceptre.Overall this is a fantastic gaming monitor that performs well in all its highlighted and advertised features, and phenomenally when you also factor in its price. Highly recommended and most importantly for me is my son couldn't be happier!

Great Monitor
Good clear viewing. Curved screen, skeptical at first, I like it. I am pleased with performance, high resolution, fast video updating, great frames/second. I use it for gaming and regular computer uses. 👍

QUALITY! Metal stand - Zero dead pixals - Ability to change the blue to ease eye strain
I was immediately impressed with the metal stand.1) The design of the stand provides PLENTY of room underneath to store my tape, stapler, paperclips etc., so they are out of the way. The stand will NOT move as it has stay put rubber feet! When you put it into place; you can be sure (unless it's SHOVED) it will stay put! Also there is a hole in the back of the stand to run your wires through.2) However I did have to go into the NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL to set it correctly. Mine was defaulted at 1920 x 1080p (this setting did not utilize the full 30" screen) So I went to the Search box, down by the start button, and I typed NVIDIA control panel. Then, under display, I clicked on: Change Resolution and chose 2560 x 1080 (native). It stretched the screen out to the actual full screen.3) Speakers: There are mixed reviews on the built in speakers. IMO they are just fine for people talking, but only for people talking. You'll not be happy for music nor movies. I can use my laptop speakers or plug in my external speakers to my laptop. I don't like to keep them plugged all the time in as I don't have room for the USB, and I do not wish to use a USB hub.4) There are 2 HDMI and 1 Data Port. I didn't bother with the Data Port because I have a nice certified HDMI cable.5) I didn't do too much to the settings on the monitor (buttons on the right). I did change the blue light shift to 30%. Either would probably be fine as it will be easier on the eyes.6) I purchased this particular monitor because of the great price. Also that I had seen a review done by someone that had it for 2 years and said it held up very well.7) I'm sitting a distance of about 2 feet from it, and it's good. I'm glad I didn't get the 32"8) Measurements: Distance from desk to bottom of the frame 3 1/2", Vertical; About 11 inches, Horizontal: A little under 27 inches, Actual diagonal: About 29 1/2 inches (which they did disclose).9) Curved: It's not noticeable (that's a good thing). I "thought" I wanted a flat screen, but my son talked me into the curved, and I'm glad. I did purchase the 3 year warranty, which I don't usually do, but it was only $20.I hope this helps someone!

Good monitor besides a few dead pixels
Decent gaming curved monitor. 2-3 pixels died the 2nd time I turned it on, but the area is so small you dont really notice it after awhile. You can't send it back for repairs unless its 10+ pixels damaged. I did try to run a pixel repair program but it didnt help much lol other than that I love the lights on the back and the picture quality and refresh rate is pretty good!
