Sceptre 34-inch Curved UltraWide 21: 9 Creative LED Monitor 2560x1080 Frameless HDMI DisplayPort Up to 100Hz, Machine Black 2020 (C345W-2560UN)

First off I must say that this thing is impressive. Not only in size but in power and quality as well.Second, the price tag is what I am most fond of.How many products like this cost LESS than half a grand? Not many, that's what.Onward to the specifics: It has a clear picture and is very wide at that. Whether you intend to do work at home or just sit back, relax and start gaming, it's good for it all. Though I will say, this thing is B-R-I-G-H-T.After using it for a while I got up to get myself a drink and realized that it illuminates the ENTIRE room.One might even say that if configured correctly that it could double as an X-ray machine, so I don't recommend setting it up in the bedroom if you plan to use it while your significant other is trying to sleep.Thankfully, there is a blue-light setting to help one ease eye strain if long hours in front of the screen (especially in the dark) are either highly likely or just straight-up unavoidable, so there's that.This is just after a few hours of use immediately after putting it together though so I can't speak to its longevity.Another thing that I found interesting is that rather than packing an HDMI cable, it comes with a DisplayPort cable but has two ports for HDMI as well as a jack for headphones so I should say it would be pretty versatile.The cords (including power) are all the perfect length as I have a good surge protector (power strip) or two within very short range and have plenty of room if I wish to adjust.All-in-all, I can't see anything beating the Sceptre because it's cheap, effective, generously-sized and appears to be great quality.

I wanted to upgrade to a 34 inch 21:9 ultrawide with 100Hz refresh rate from a 29 inch 75Hz one. I’ve gotten more into PC gaming in the last 3 years and wanted something with more ‘oomph’ to take advantage of my Nvidia GTX 2060 card. I knew I wanted 2560x1080 resolution as I’ll probably rock this video card for another 2-3 years and did not want to tax it by going to a higher resolution than that. For that purpose, this fits the bill.I can’t see any large pixels beyond what most people would consider reasonable for this size of display. I sit 2 feet away from the display. It looks fine to me. Unless you zoom in on the monitor, they are not noticeable.For productivity, 21:9 makes it difficult to go back to 16:9. I can easily work with two applications running on the screen at once where with 16:9 I have to have them overlap or use two screens. This eliminates an extra device.Out of the box, it was brighter than I would like but I calibrated it in Windows and after that, it looks awesome to me. Navigating the menu system isn’t a simple as LG’s setup but after a while, I got used to it.I can’t comment on the speakers as I use headphones and had external speakers from my last monitor. It’s probably fine for offices though. I don’t think anyone really expects ‘the booming system’ from a computer monitor anyway.It has a small LED projector you can install with the image of the Sceptre logo "S" that you can optionally install. I figured I’d lose it if I didn’t go ahead and pop it in anyway. I have it turned off though. It’s like those little lights you can have project down when you open your car doors. Neat.At the price I paid, it was a really good bargain and would buy again. If one is not looking at this for gaming, just the extra screen and desk real estate make it a good buy.

Edit:Monitor completely burned out and turned pink before shutting off permanently. I’ve used it for two years now and am devastated it only lasted that long. I will never spend a dollar on sceptre products again after a $400 can’t make it two years.I came back to buy another monitor of the same kind and saw the other review saying how he couldn't get the full bpc at 144hz but I was able to get full rgb out of the box at 10 and 8 bpc leaving me to believe he just got a bad unit or a hardware problem on his side. The only setting I had to change really was the brightness/gamma.This monitor is literally in a league of its own in terms of resolution, ips display, hz speed, and in the ultra wide category. There isn’t a monitor on here that meets those specs under $1000 that I’ve seen and this is $400 while writing this and seemed to be the first launch of these displays on Amazon for sceptre. It’s truly amazing and one of, if not the first of its quality to be this low in price. That being said, the one and only con, was the packaging. The outside was beat up but that’s the price for anything traveling and usually on UPS’s part. But the monitor itself had this white powdery substance in the packaging and around the back of the monitor with some greasy fingerprints immediately planting the seed of “refurbished”(knowing full well it was new). But after turning it on and playing new world for 12 straight hours on this miracle of a monitor I could care less about some powder lol, but that is just a minor gripe that I also noticed the only other person who reviewed the monitor thus far mentioned as well. The stand is also extremely quality so far in terms of range of motion; EXCEPPPPT the cable management holder is made of a flimsy plastic thats glued onto the back of the mount but is very minor.I’m a big fan of sceptre and have only used them for the past five years so take what you will from my review. My picture shows the new 34’ under my 27’ 1080p curved sceptre monitor as well for references.Ps. The light on the back and how you can change it, although minor, is sorta understated when buying this and was a nice surprise when setting it up to see the customization.
