Sceptre IPS 27" LED Gaming Monitor G-to-G 1ms HDMI DisplayPort up to 144Hz AMD FreeSync Premium Build-in Speakers, Edgeless Machine Black 2021 (E275B-FPN168)

This is the scepter e275bqpd168 let's jump right into the review but if at any point during the blog you want to check out this exact same monitor there's amazon links below for the us uk canada and international links but let's jump into it now this gaming monitor is in one of the most competitive spaces in gaming monitors that being a 27-inch 1440p ips gaming monitor it's at a good price of 300 however is that enough to set it apart from the competition let's find out firstly like i said this is a 27 inch monitor with a resolution of 1440p and a flat ips panel the ppi on this is pretty good at 109. that means the image how crisp and clear everything is going to be 109 is pretty good that means the image is going to be crisp and clear gaming is going to be crisp and clear and at this resolution it'll be pretty easy to hit those higher frames even with a less powerful rig.

All of those stats puts the scepter directly in competition with the lg 27 gn 800-b which is also typically priced at 300 bucks although sometimes it is a little bit higher but the lg is my most recommended gaming 27-inch 1440p monitor in a 300 dollar price point for an ips so can this thing beat it let's find out now the scepter hits a max refresh rate of 165 hertz which is good uh and it has amd freesync premium for variable refresh rate now comparing this to the lg the lg only hits 144 hertz but that really makes absolutely no difference in actual usability but the thing where the lg definitely beats this is that the lg has g-sync compatibility that's huge especially uh for a lot of you i know love g-sync and at this low price point you do get g-sync with that lg but let's not leave it there we got to continue with this because there's some things that the scepter beats the lg with and we're going to talk about that now which is the brightness now scepter typically sets themselves apart from all the other brands recently with brightness they've got high brightness in a lot of their monitors which is really cool to see and that's no exception here now they claim 400 nits of brightness in their advertising but this thing during testing using my luxometer this thing hit a max brightness of 563 nits that way out does the peak brightness that they advertise that is huge now comparing this to the lg which also outperforms its rating of 350 nits it's really sitting at a high 300s just below 400 nits but even though that is good and a very respectable very good brightness that doesn't even come close to the scepter with 563 nits that is absolutely amazing the overall panel is just a brighter more vibrant beautiful panel uh over that lg that is huge that's something that i wasn't expecting now colors are very slightly better on the scepter than the lg hitting a hundred percent coverage of the srgb color space where the lg only hits 99 of the srgb color space there's really no difference there and they both use frame rate control to output 10 bits of color which is great however on that scepter that is only when it's connected via display port so make sure if you want that 10 bits of color use a display point now talking about contrast ratios obviously on both of them it's just gonna be 1001 these are ips panels now response time and ghosting lg typically has really good response time some of the best in the industry some of the lowest the amount of ghosting incredibly low both of these hit a one millisecond great to gray response time the difference is here the scepter actually wins because when the lg is in its fastest setting fastest overdrive setting to reach down one millisecond greater gray that has a lot of pixel over shooting not a ton but a little bit more than you would probably like a little bit more than i would like that being said in the scepter when it's hitting that one millisecond graded gray response time there is a teeny bit of pixel over shooting or inverse ghosting not enough for me to not turn it on me personally i would have it in the fastest overdrive setting with that teeny little bit of inverse ghosting in medium there's a tiny bit of ghosting and i literally mean a tiny bit you will not notice it in any game ever however there's no pixel over shooting so if you want probably the best viewing experience go with medium although you probably won't notice a difference in high so i give it to the scepter which is huge this may be the first time that any ips panel has outdone lg with direct real user experience with ghosting that's actually really good scepter's stepping up their game here but let's move on to the menu system and controls this is where scepter doesn't step up their game in fact they took a backwards step the lg is perfect perfect controls no learning curve incredibly easy to do everything it's intuitive the menu system is pretty it's easy to use everything can be found fast and again like i said it's pretty now you take the scepter they have this weird menu system with a power on button and then two other like rocker buttons on the back and then two other on the right it's just bad there's no joystick we needed a joystick there is a learning curve the menu system is functional like the way it looks but it's just ugly that needs to be stepped up some other scepter monitors have had that joystick i wish they just kept that here so yeah the menu system is functional you can absolutely change all of the settings but if you want to be going in those settings a lot maybe not the monitor for you however if you're gonna set your stuff and forget it perfectly fine the basic compatibility the scepter uses a bracket uh to have that basic compatibility not a problem it comes in the box when you get this monitor and it is a 75 by 75 millimeter vase amount now as well this also has internal speakers they are not fantastic they are dual 2 watt speakers they actually sound pretty clear but again like these are monitor speakers don't expect this thing to blow your socks off they don't get super loud but if you need to use them in a pinch or someone who just uses headphones most of the time these can absolutely work ports are pretty good with two hdmi 2.0s and a displayport 1.4 and then a three and a half millimeter audio out i've been moving on to stand and build quality the scepter obviously takes the cake here in one aspect which is the actual usability of the stand it has height adjustability tilt and even swivel now the whole stand is basically made of exposed metal that is then painted so it's really good quality it's very sturdy it's very strong and it's very stable not only that but it has that quick release click in back so it's fast to set up and it's easy if you want to mount it on a monitor arm you can just take it right off that stand now you compare this to the lg the lg it doesn't get one of those nice stands because the 300 price point is a step down and they don't change the panel but they change the stand so all you get is tilt and it's not one of those nice click in stands it's one of those things that snaps in and it take it off you really got to yank it out it's not the best stand although i do prefer the way it looks on the lg over the scepter but again that's all up to personal preference and most of us won't care too much but overall which one should you buy well if you want a monitor that does everything well and is a polished product then go with that lg it does everything well but if you don't care about a crappy menu system.

Having g-sync compatibility you get that super beautiful bright and vibrant panel that the scepter has that's a huge selling point for me so if you like that go with the scepter again if you want to check out either of these monitors i'll link both of them below to amazon for the us uk canada and international links but the scepter actually kept up with that lg way more than i thought it was going to that's really impressive the brightness and vibrancy of that panel really gives it a huge selling factor for me scepter keep doing what you're doing but this is type Coolgadgetsst reviews and i'll see you guys in the next blog.
