Sceptre 24 is a professional
thin, 75 hertz and 1080p led
monitor. It has 2x HDMI and got built-in speakers, machine black (E248W-19203R series).
CONTRAST RATIO:
The Sceptre (E248W-19203R) boasts a high static contrast ratio of 3001. As a result, you get
deep and inky blacks
making for an immersive viewing experience, especially
in dark rooms.
BRIGHTNESS:
It has a peak brightness of 250 nits which is minimal as far as modern lead backlit monitors go, but it can get more than bright enough under normal lighting conditions
COLOR REPRODUCTION:
As far as colour reproduction is concerned, the Sceptre (E248W-19203R) monitor covers 95% of the sRGB colour space. sRGB is the standard and most widespread colour space, so the majority of web content and games will be depicted accurately. There is no noticeable difference between 95% and 100% sRGB gamma
coverage, that is unless you're doing professional colour critical work. It’s also worth noting that the Sceptre (E248W-19203R) uses temporal interpolation to provide 16.7 million colours (6-bit plus, 2-bit FRC). This can sometimes cause a 30 hertz flicker.
RESOLUTION:
Moving on the
monitor, it has a full HD screen resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. On its 23.83 viewable screen that results in a
pixel density of 92.56
PPI pixels per inch, you get a decent
amount of screen real estate as well as fairly sharp details and text.
REFRESH RATE:
The Sceptre (E248W-19203R) has a maximum refresh rate of 75 hertz.
INPUT LAG:
Input lag is
imperceptible at 10 milliseconds, so you won't be able to notice or feel any delays between your actions and the result on the screen.
TRANSITION TIME:
The monitor has a GTG grade, a grade pixel transition time of 8 milliseconds. Since it's only a 75 hertz display, most transitions
will be able to keep up with the refresh rate, resulting in a smooth gaming experience without prominent trailing behind fast moving objects. In darker scenes you might be able to notice some trailing ghosting due
to slower black
to white pixel transitions, but it's tolerable or even negligible, depending on how sensitive you are to it. Of course, if you plan on mostly playing fast-paced first-person shooters, you should definitely get a faster display with the Tennessee or IPS panel. For the best
response time performance, make sure the overdrive
option in the OSD on-screen display menu is enabled.
SYNCHRONIZATION:
Additionally, the Sceptre (E248W-19203R) supports adaptive sync with a 48 to 75 hertz range, so if you have an AMD FreeSync compatible
graphics card, you can synchronize the monitor's
refresh rate to GPU's frame
rate. As a result, all screen tearing and stuttering will be gone as long as your frame rate remains within the
supported 48 to 75
hertz range. You might be able to extend the range a bit by using crew custom
resolution utility. You cannot use adaptive sync FreeSync with NVidia graphics cards on this monitor as there's no DisplayPort input. The HDMI ports on this monitor don't support NVidia’s g-sync compatible
technology.
OSD MENU NAVIGATION:
At the rear of the monitor, on the right side, you will find four hotkeys for OSD menu navigation as well as the power button. The menu is
simple and easy to use with
various adjustments available, including the standard brightness contrast and colour
temperature controls as well as some advanced tools, such as gamma sharpness and 6-axis hue saturation. There are also a
few pre-calibrated
picture pre-sets; user, standard, movie, eco, fps and RTS, though it is recommended to stick with
the user mode and
adjusting the brightness to your liking. The backlight of the monitor is flicker free and there's an
integrated low blue
light filter, called blue
light shift in the menu, allowing you to use the screen for extended periods of
time without
getting eye strain or headaches assuming
you take breaks regularly.
STAND:
The stand of the monitor is fairly
sturdy, but only
offers tilt adjustment by -5 degrees 15 degrees.
SCREEN:
Alternatively, you can detach the screen and mount it via the 100 x 100 millimetres pattern. Further, the screen has a matte anti-glare
coating that prevents reflections.
CONNECTIVITY:
Connectivity options include:
·
two HDMI 1.4 ports
·
a headphone jack
·
two 2w integrated speakers for basic sound output
