the stand of this monitor takes less space on your desk and easily fits on any desk size but the stand only offers tilt adjustability, so there is no height, pivot, or swivel adjustability in this monitor.

The price is very good and in this price range the monitor offers really good specs, if you don’t have a higher budget and want a higher refresh rate monitor with good image quality then the Sceptre E275B-QPT168 is the right option.

Build and Design

The body of the Sceptre E275B-QPT168 is built with decent plastic, the three-side borderless design looks great and the stand size is also good and perfectly fits your setup without consuming too much space.

The downside of this monitor is the non-fully adjustable stand that may disappoint you otherwise there is no major issue with this monitor, which means you can’t adjust the height of the monitor or rotate it to a comfortable position just tilt adjustability available.

Image Quality

It has 27 inches IPS display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, also the panel has a 99% sRGB rate that gives you sharp colour reproduction, there is no HDR certification on this monitor so you will miss the HDR gameplay but visuals are very smooth due to high refresh rate.

The viewing angles are not great but ok, contrast and brightness are not well balanced but you will not notice every time in the darker environment you can see the difference.

Performance

The Sceptre E275B-QPT168 offers up to 165hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync premium for smoother responsive visuals, the downside is that 165Hz refresh rate is only from Displayport input so through HDMI you will get a peak 144Hz refresh rate. This is not a big problem but yes, a little twist here, performance-wise there are no issues like the screen tearing, flickering and blurry visuals.

Connectivity

The monitor comes with HDMI, Displayport and an audio port, there are no USB Ports.

Pros

165Hz refresh rate, AMD FreeSync Premium, 99% sRGB, lightweight.

Cons

No fully adjustable stand, viewing angles, build, No USB Ports.
