Question 1

Is it wall mountable????

Accepted Answer

Yes I have 3 on wall mounts, well desk mounts to run 3 in nvida surround. I say the colors arent as good as youd expect but you get use to them. Ide suggest geting a samsung 27" I wish i had since they are close to the same price, then ide have saved desk space aswell XD

Question 2

is there hdmi ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is an HDMI port on the monitor.

Question 3

Is this wide screen?

Accepted Answer

it's not the super wide screen that looks like two monitors fused together. they list the dimensions in the description, but think of it as a a 32" flatscreen tv

Question 4

is this an ips monitor?

Accepted Answer

No mention of it in specs or manual. They have live chat at the sceptre website so ask them.

Question 5

is this unit HDCP compliant?

Accepted Answer

Don't think that HDCP is applied to the PC monitor at all. Unlike the DVD player, or smart TV set, the monitor most likely does not has its own "brains" to filter the content it receive.

Question 6

It says that the Viewing Angle is 178°/178°, which would indicate it is an IPS panel. However, I can not find the panel type for this monitor anywhere. Can anyone confirm if this is an IPS panel or if it is a TN or VA panel?

Accepted Answer

It is IPS, or at least is listed as such on other sites.

Note however that it has some limitations depending on which input port you use, unless the issue has been corrected since I received my units. For VGA it scales correctly as you would expect for a computer monitor, however for HDMI it assumes TV style framing and scales a 1080p signal up so that approximately 1/2 inch is cropped off of each edge making it unusable as a computer monitor. You may be able to adjust for this by defining it as less than 1080p on your graphics card, but you will then be getting a less than 1080p image scaled up by the monitor to 1080p. Assuming it is the same as the units I have, it cannot be made to display 1080p with pixel to pixel mapping over HDMI. It displays correctly with a direct DisplayPort connection.

Question 7

is the screen glossy?

Accepted Answer

I would call it "satin" if we are going by paint discriptions

Question 8

Is this monitor AMD FreeSync compatible?

Accepted Answer

Not from my testing. Freesync is over rated anyways.
