Sceptre Curved 30" 21:9 Gaming LED Monitor 2560x1080p UltraWide Ultra Slim HDMI DisplayPort Up to 85Hz MPRT 1ms FPS-RTS Build-in Speakers, Machine Blue (C305W-2560UN)

Overall, it seems like a good Monitor; didn't rate for gaming, bought it for wide view home office. Picture looks good, VESA mount is attached to back of monitor with a single screw. Clever design as the four 75mm spaced Spectre mounting plate screws attaches to your Monitor stand VESA mounting plate and the whole shebang is attached with only a single screw to the monitor itself; one screw easier to attach than 4 screws. Not a problem if once in place you don't change monitor position. For sit, stand, sit, stand, the monitor may feel somewhat less than 100% solid. The single screw is plenty strong enough, it won't break or come apart. You'd have to see for yourself how that's accomplished. This is not a deal breaker, the monitor is fairly light at 9 lbs. For most, not an issue at all. Though noticeable, wasn't a big deal for me.My lone complaint, (this type of thing is so common, i.e. product ads leave out important detailed information. Should go to Manufacture website and download Manual before purchase). In this case, the Monitor is supposedly rated as being 16 inches high. I bought it based on that measurement.Wide-view at 21:9 is purpose-built for gaming. Monitor is actually only 12 inches high.16 inches height is including the stand, not mentioned on the Web Page! At 12 inches of 1080p vertical, some of my old 2012 Mac Mini software does not auto adjust the picture. works with 3:4 ratio, or 16:9. HDMI 1.4 should work, but Mini does not like 21:9. Too much screen real estate submerged below bottom of screen. You can scroll up and down, but picture is too big: Monitor too short -- either way, take your pick. Macs and most PC's no problem. The only way to tell is buy to try. For most, for gaming, not a problem.My opinion--For Home Office a 27 inch 2K 16:9 - 2560x1440. A 32 inch 2K, even regular 27 or 32 inch 1080p Monitor dimensionally better suited for home use.Other reviewers have rated it for gaming. If purchasing for gaming, lots of reviews. For Home Office, you may want to carefully consider all the relevant factors in making a decision depending on hardware and application.Monitor arrived well packaged and works like it was designed to work. I am returning the Monitor for reason stated above - Low height exacerbated by 21:9 aspect ratio. What would be ideal for me is 30 inch 2K monitor, but 2K only 27 or 32 inch.F.Y.I., you should always keep the original packaging, at least until return window is passed - maybe longer. While unpacking, I take special notice of how packaging is all put together so I can return exactly as It came to facilitate a smooth no-hassel Return.

I've had this monitor for almost 2 months now. It replaced a 27" flat screen which (I didn't realize until I made the change) was washing out the colors. It's important for you to know that for this review. After all, you jump from a 1997 car to a 2022 car, you're obviously going to be amazed, right?My old computer died and I had to build a new computer. I figured while I was about it, I should get a sexy new monitor with it. One of my friends was going on, and on, and on, and onnnnnnn about how he was going to get a curved monitor, which I hadn't even heard about before. Well, new computer, worth searching 'curved monitor', and here I am.I have a Radeon RX 6600 XT GPU. Don't scoff, I know it's not cutting or bleeding edge. I build my computers for affordability, and upgradeability. That USD $900 GPU card you're trying to hijack Amazon drivers for today will be dirt cheap relatively soon.That said, almost everything I've put this monitor through has been amazing:Colors: Again, the old monitor was apparently washed out, but seriously vibrant colors, black is suuuuuuuper black.Resolution: Hit or miss. Sometimes content I'm streaming has black bars to the left and right. Sometimes I can't go full screen because it just zooms in on whatever portion of the screen it feels like. Maybe it's the graphics card, I don't know. However, every video game I've played has been truly full screen so far. Civ 6, Killing Floor, World of Tanks, Fallout 4. Though I don't use this for work, the monitor has worked amazingly for Word and Excel.Sturdiness: This monitor is sitting on my desktop. Once, I bumped heavily into the desk and freaked out that the monitor would tumble off the back of it (no wall behind the desk). It didn't. The base is a sturdy metal, but it's a ring. I don't know if it would make a difference if it were solid, I think it would make a difference if that ring/ base went further behind the monitor than it does, but I don't detract a star for my clumsiness. I will instead find some way of securing the front of that ring to my desk, preferably without having to screw into the desk surface, but that option is not ruled out.Price: I remember paying this much for my first, I think it was 20", flat screen. Not only am I happy about the price, I'm starting to give serious consideration to getting a second one of these monitors (and possibly having to secure them using screws, ugh).Overall: Zero regrets. Perhaps I don't have the refined eyes of the many nay-sayers in these reviews. But it's amazing for gaming, it's excellent for streaming, and there are no issues with Word or Excel. Everything I need, in a very reasonably priced package!

Got this for my home office, as it was uncomfortable / impractical to work out of a small laptop screen for an extended period of time. My desk is fairly small, and it would have made fitting 2 regular monitors side by side (similar to my office setup) difficult to achieve.This monitor seemed like a good compromise. It's ultra wide screen, so it takes up less space than a typical 30" monitor. It allows me to have 2 applications open side by side for ease in working (i.e. Outlook on the left hand side, Excel on the right). You can obviously do this on a regular monitor, but because the dimensions (and resolution) of this monitor are ultra wide screen, you have extra screen real estate to play with.One note about the resolution - the max is 2560 x 1080p, which seemed a bit low to me considering it's a 30" screen. I imagine more expensive monitors might have higher resolutions.Screen quality is fine for the price paid. If you are looking for a hardcore gaming or other monitor, perhaps something a bit higher up the price chain would be more suitable. But for basic home office needs, this monitor has been great so far.
