Got this 2 years ago for Christmas. Nice monitor for the $199 it went for. Been looking for a review ever since I got it and this is the best review so far. Thanks for starting my 2023 off great!
@@tvchef It's been great for two year. Love the colors and the refresh rate. Just got a RX 6900 for Christmas and it pushes this monitor to the max in most games. I'm not a monitor snob so it works great for me. I'm sure there are better monitor out there. But for my gaming budget this was a great buy. Already gave you the like and subscribing now!
To get to 120hz on the Xbox u have to go into the settings and under either “video modes” or “video fidelity & overscan”, it will say that the display output is set to automatic. If u click on it and select HDMI it will change the out put to recognize the option for 120hz. Then just to back to the first display screen and adjust the output and hz to ur monitor settings, as it will make itself go to 480p 60hz.
@@YesItsChris. Yes, the monitor does 1440p at 120hz for the series x, the series s only goes to 1080p at 120hz and 1440p at 60hz but the ps5 and the series x go 1440p at 120hz
Thank you very much for the review. I was skeptical at first because 165hz 2K for only $250 sounds too good to be true. I just ordered mine because of this review. Hopefully it satisfies.
We are so glad this video helped you! Please leave another comment once it arrives and what you like/don't like about it! 1440p / 144hz+ is the sweet spot imo for a monitor so I think you made a good choice!
This was an amazing review! thank you. I know the video was from 6 months ago but has there been any solution for gaming at 1440 120hz on the xbox? I have the series s and am wondering if I can use this monitor to the fullest. thanks again.
Hey, I saw ur comment and I just wanted to clarify, the xbox series s cannot be played at 1440 at 120 hz because it is just not as powerful as the ps5 or the series x, its not the monitor, its the console. Its a great console for its price but if u want 120 hz u will have to play on 1080p
@@abdulbaset4470 Hey thanks so much. I figured it out. It’s a shame. 1080 at 120 still looks great though. Especially on a 27inch monitor. Maybe an upgrade to the x in the future. Thanks for the comment.
I subbed to get u to 1k which if i remember correctly thats all u need. It should be switched to just views eventually as subs nobody really looks at anymore. Subs used to matter as it was a good to reflect quality but youtubes soo loaded with quality content that subbing to every one would literally make ur alerts explode so we have the algorithm now that reflects quality. But yeah unfortunately u need 1k plus still to monetize so I understand ur pitch completely.
Thank you so much for the sub and support! You are totally right and its silly. We really don't care about numbers as we want to build a community of passionate people around monitors/TVs! Look forward to seeing you around the channel!!!
Right now the price difference between both monitors is around $10 so they really go head to head in all features. With price basically being equal I might go with the HP as I like the color representation a little better than the Sceptre. But really up to you and both are good choices imo!
Hi, right now I'm looking to get a new gaming monitor for my pc, and right now this and that 240hz 1080p sceptre monitor are the same price, can you help me decide which one to get?
Hi! Happy to help... I think the best bet is this monitor at 1440p / 165 giving you the best of both worlds. If its strictly fps you care about more than resolution then you should choose the 1080p / 240. Let me know what you decide!
I just purchased this monitor during prime day and it performs great. Do you have a blight time box that pops up in the top left corner very time you turn on the monitor ? I have to clear the box every time with the " S " button on the back of the monitor. I cant find info on this anywhere.
Color is usually the thing I am harshest on with Sceptre monitors. I have never had any dead pixels ever on any of their monitors I've reviewed or used!
I just got it for 200$ it felt like there was going to be a big catch. Can you check the 1ms refresh rate pls. I know most companies do grey to grey and not black to white.
I don't have a way to test response times. If you have any suggestions on how we can do that we are all ears!! We did measure input lag in our videos but that is not the same as response time (gtg or mprt)
Did you turn on G-sync/Adaptive sync on the monitor? I noticed you checked windows settings but not the monitor, doesn't it need to be turned on in the monitor?
Amazon and Scepter seem to have incorrect dimensions listed on their websites (Pythagoras didn’t lie). Can you provide the actual dimensions of the screen itself?
Not apples to apples due to different resolutions so hard to answer! If you are okay with 1080p and saving a few bucks I would pick the ASUS but that is just me!
I never experienced glitching off screen... and you have it for both inputs? I would contact their support incase something is defective in the monitor!
Both links work! The first link you can buy it from our livestream and the second link the INTL will take you directly to the product page regardless of county you are in! So US is fine it will take you to Amazon US!
Just finished installing this monitor and I plugged in the DPI port from the gpu to the monitor and I get no signal. I also can’t even pull up the menu so I can switch inputs to another one and maybe that solves my issue but I can’t get into that menu no matter what I press the M the E the arrows nothing works and I still can’t have no signal. If anyone could help me please.
My only guess is manually changing the ps5 resolution to 1080p and making sure you have 120p set to automatic as shown at 19:14 in video. At that point I believe it would be up to a game by game basis on what you actually get if its 60 or 120!
can someone maybe help me Sceptre IPS 27 E275B-QPT168 against koorui 27e1qa. which one is better? and is g- sync a must? Do i need A DP cable for g sync to work? can g sync work on amd freesync premium?
Go with the Koorui and save your $$$... gsync is not a must and yes it would need a DP cable. Technically yes gsync will work with freesync if its approved by Nvidia. Happy gaming!
@@tvchef the price doesnt differ much from each other right now on amazon. Koorui takes g- sync but its va panel while the sceptre is ISP panel without g -sync. should i wait for black friday instead for a better monitor?

How does this compare to the HP X27q though?

I'm sure this is a stupid question but better to ask to be safe. I've had this monitor for a week and absolutely love it. Do you remove the film?
Ha yes! That film should just be over the screen to protect it in shipping!
The reason you’re not able to get 120 Hz is because you have it on the 1440 P if you go to 1080 P you should be able to FPS in game
If you are talking about the Xbox series x you should be able to get 1440p x 120hz :/
I was taking about the series s
@@tvchef Hey if you change from auto-detection to hdmi in the Xbox settings you will get the 120hz drop down

how is the monitor so far
Hey is that have speakers or must buy speaker for this ?
Yes it does you can hear them here: ruclips.net/video/DDhGYuKqiHs/видео.html
Does this monitor come with a HDMI or display port cable? Just making sure 😂
DisplayPort cable! See 02:58 in video!

Amazon and Scepter seem to have incorrect dimensions listed on their websites (Pythagoras didn’t lie). Can you provide the actual dimensions of the screen itself?
What dimension is incorrect? You will need to contact Sceptre directly for support/help!
Do you need a PC to use this or does it work fine with a ps5 on its own?
It will work with PS5! You just need some device like a PC or console to use as this is just a screen/display!
@@tvchef thanks for answering
It doesn't matter you can only get 1440p at 60hz sadly unless you find an adapter that converts it to displayport. For xbox series x users

Which is better for ps5 or gaming in general, this Sceptre IPS 27" (E275B-QPT168) or the asus tuf gaming 27 vg279q1a?
Not apples to apples due to different resolutions so hard to answer! If you are okay with 1080p and saving a few bucks I would pick the ASUS but that is just me!

may I also ask if what volts do you plugin the monitor, is it safe to plug it in in a 220v? or should i plug it in a 110v socket

Both links work! The first link you can buy it from our livestream and the second link the INTL will take you directly to the product page regardless of county you are in! So US is fine it will take you to Amazon US!
