SCEPTRE X20WG-1080P Black 20.1" 5ms(GTG) Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 1,000:1, US Warranty

Pros: Large, bright and good looking. This monitor lacks the dumb light up decals at the bottom of the screen and visual distractions found on some monitors. The screen stays bring from all angles: everything is very legible up to 45 degrees from looking straight at it, and still quite visible from even more skew angles. After an evening of playing back some HD movies, I can say that this looks very good--sharp transitions, no ghosting, good color. (Ignore reviews that look like they were written by people based on the numbers--"5ms grey-to-grey isn't that good"--rather than on the experience of using this monitor.) Mine has one dead pixel, which is a hell of a lot better than one stuck on green but still frustrating.

Cons: The screen has a little bit of back-light bleeding at the top and bottom that is noticable when the monitor is black. Also, color definitely changes with view angle, especially vertically, e.g. looking at single color file that should be 256 green 56 blue, the patch looks bluer at the bottom than at the top. This isn't very noticable. There are a few other cons that I think are very minor: the DVI plug in the back is a slightly tight fit with the cable; there's a dumb dime-sized "vista certified" sticker on lower left biut of the frame.

Overall Review: This is a good buy period. Per dollar spent, it's great. The cons are pretty minor; I don't notice the bleeding during normal operation and I quickly zone it out during movies. The color fidelity are also easy to ignore. The rest of the cons are so minor that they would be made up for by five dollars savings. Note that there is a VGA but no DVI cable included in the price. DVI cables are inexpensive.

Pros: At my house in 2 days w/ reg shipping. Newegg is awesome! This monitor is awesome. 1080p is insane w/ dvi.(it is actually true 1050p but not a huge difference) It has a nice viewing angle and size for more than one application at a time. I can write papers for college and surf web for information while both showing all of the Programs. Great for photo/video editing. I use Sony vegas and Adobe photoshop and this is a perfect picture for not making those small mistakes.

Cons: Speakers are not the best..but the monitor is worth the 209 dollars. Don't like the small buttons at bottom, you get mixed up on the ones you are pressing and gets really anoying..but for the most part a great monitor.

Overall Review: Great for gaming...and with the right cables you can play your xbox 360 or DVD player in 1080p. System:AMD 64 X2 5200, 2gb of Corsair XMS2's,WD 16 mb cache 250gb sata HD, evga nvidia 7950 512mb superclocked GPU. Asus M2N SLI Delux, 580 watt PS, LIte on DVD-RW w/ lightscribe, and of course...this new awesome monitor!

Pros: Great monitor when it worked. No dual input toggling, kind of annoying. Came with two or three dead pixels

Cons: randomly today the scren just goes black. LED power stays on, but nothing else. i'm dreading the RMA from what I've read. not a happy camper right now....

Overall Review: i should have gone with a more trusted brand

Pros: Great price, great product (image, colors) no dead pixels - and there are a LOT of them, my first LCD, I was carefully looking for something to fit the budget and good quality, in the end I'm very happy with the decision and purchase.

Cons: A bit slow when powering up from stand by mode, weak speakers (i'll never use them), dvi connector bad placement - will force the cable a bit, manufacturer asks you to submit the registration card within 7 days of purchase, else 1 year warranty will switch to date when was manufactured and not purchased - worst "Cons" in my oppinion.

Overall Review: For some reasons, after the computer was powered and VGA cable in place, when connecting the DVI cable will always say "no signal". I had to remove the vga cable and start the computer with dvi cable only.

Pros: Beautiful picture on DVI while it worked.

Cons: Less than a week after hooking it up it died. No light, nothing. So back to my old reliable Acer.

Overall Review: Of course the box was thrown away so it's going to be fun sending it to Sceptre for repair. Lesson-buy something like this locally even if it's higher cost.

Pros: Price

Cons: Well, when I finally got the monitor, it didn't work. I plugged it in and it wouldn't power on. There was no LED indicator on either. There was a quiet beeping noise coming from the monitor, but that was it. I called up Sceptre Technical Support and it's horrible, I was directed to an answering machine. I emailed them and have yet to receive an email back.

Overall Review: While I understand my problem is sort of isolated, it was a big disappointment to plug it in and not get anything. I am trying to figure out if I can return it, and if not, get a replacement.

Pros: Big, bright, everything an LCD monitor offers.

Cons: Bad menu controls - the buttons feel stiff, weird placement, and hard to see unless room light is on. Arrived with one dead pixel (although fixed). Worked fine for about 3 weeks, then every 10 seconds screen would wash out to white. Turning it off resets the white screen and the picture persists for another 10 seconds before the monitor turns white again. No DVI cable, but that's probably why it's so cheap - including the shoddy housing which looks nice but handles like cheap plastic. Not too much of a con since the monitor doesn't get moved around at all. A grammatical error on the box in a huge font.

Overall Review: RMAd the monitor back to Sceptre. Their customer support is quick and painless. If you have to RMA this monitor, make sure you talk (email) a tech support first.

Pros: I've been researching LCD monitors for some time and this one really stood out for bang for the buck. As usual NewEgg delivered this product very quickly. I can't say anything bad about the monitor. It's much nicer than my 7 year old NEC 2010UX LCD. Colors are bright and vivid (no dead pixels). The response time is very good. I think my online gaming has improved as a result of switching over.....

Cons: I have a Dell Dimension 8400 with an Nvidia 6800GT card. I knew this card would support the resolution of the monitor but with the latest Nvidia driver loaded I was only able to get 1600 X 1024 which didn't look quite right. I trolled the web for any insight but didn't find anything. Out of desperation, I reinstalled an older Nvidia driver from the Dell Support website. Guess what? Works like a charm now. This is more a con to the latest Nvidia driver rather than the monitor.
