Sceptre 22 inch 75Hz 1080P LED Monitor 99% sRGB HDMI X2 VGA Build-In Speakers, Machine Black (E225W-19203R series)

As others have mentioned, while not "ideal" this monitor is good for the price (I paid less than $70 US when I purchased my monitor). I was previously using an aging 23 inch TV as my "monitor". However, that TV was in the process of dying, so I found this monitor on Amazon. After a few minutes of setup, the monitor worked to provide video and audio to both my computer (a Raspberry Pi) and my XBox series S (both devices connected via an HDMI switch I have). While this monitor is not what I would call "perfect", it does do a decent job of meeting all of my "must have" needs. In my ideal world, I would have liked the monitor control buttons to be on the front (for example on the bottom of the bezel) where they would have been more easily reachable, instead of the awkward action of moving your hand to the rear of the monitor every time you want to adjust the monitor (even when that adjustment is just raising or lowering the audio volume). Also, even with an "external speaker" (which I have) the sound isn't great. Still the video is decent and the sound is functional, so I have little complaints on the lack of "premium features" on this "budget monitor". NOTE: One thing I did find out (from experimentation with my monitor) is that you can turn this monitor on/off with an external switch that you plug the monitor's power adapter into. This is handy, as you can position that external switch to be easy to reach, preventing you from needing to reach around to the back of the monitor to use the official monitor power button. NOTE: When I first tried this monitor with my XBox, I was getting an annoying buzz on the audio. However, I eventually tracked this problem down to the XBox audio settings. Apparently my old TV had some support for "Dolby Stereo", and so I had previously enabled that audio option in my XBox. The problem was when I switched to this monitor (which lacks Dolby audio), there was a mismatch between what audio the XBox was trying to send and what this monitor could accept. Once I realized that was the problem, it was a simple matter to go into the XBox audio settings and tell the console to only send basic uncompressed stereo to the monitor (and the buzz problem immediately went away).

Let me start by saying that I absolutely, unequivocally, LOVE my new Sceptre 22-inch 1080P LED Monitor (E225W-19203R). It has been a complete game-changer for my workspace and content creation setup. One of the main reasons I decided to invest in this monitor was because my laptop screen had seen better days. Instead of shelling out a small fortune to repair it, I decided to explore more cost-effective options. Enter the Sceptre 22-inch monitor, and boy, was that a brilliant decision. Not only did it save me a ton of money, but it also opened up a whole new world of screen space for me to work with. The first thing that struck me was the stunning clarity of this monitor. The 1080P resolution and 75Hz refresh rate ensure that every image and video looks razor-sharp. As a content creator, this level of detail is invaluable, especially for tasks like video editing and graphic design. It's like seeing your work in a whole new light, and I couldn't be happier with the visual quality it offers. But that's not all! The Sceptre monitor is also a fantastic companion for gaming. With its 1080P resolution and smooth 75Hz refresh rate, it handles even graphically demanding games with ease. The colors are vibrant, and the response time is impressive. It's truly transformed my gaming experience, adding a level of immersion I didn't know I was missing. The inclusion of two HDMI ports and a VGA port gives me the flexibility to connect multiple devices seamlessly, making it a versatile addition to my setup. Whether I'm switching between my laptop, gaming console, or another device, it's a breeze. Oh, and the built-in speakers! While I wasn't expecting studio-quality sound, the integrated speakers are surprisingly decent. They're perfect for casual use, such as watching YouTube videos or participating in video calls without the need for external speakers. In conclusion, the Sceptre 22-inch 1080P LED Monitor (E225W-19203R) has been a monumental upgrade for my content creation and gaming setup. It's more than just a screen; it's an investment in productivity, entertainment, and, most importantly, saving some hard-earned cash. The authentic joy I've experienced with this monitor is undeniable, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone looking for a cost-effective and quality display solution.

My wife needed a monitor for when she works from home so we decided to check out this spectre monitor. Works great and has pretty good picture quality for when I play video games. We bought it twice so she had more windows open while working. Highly recommended
