Sceptre X24WG-1080P 24" 2ms Widescreen Monitor Review

Looking for a good monitor for your computer setup? Look no further. I bought the Sceptre X24WG-1080P, 24 inch, 2 milisecond, widescreen monitor to replace my main 22" monitor and I probably would not write a review if I had not decided to use my old monitor as a second. What sold me was when I compared it to my what once was really expensive, NEC monitor that is about 3 years old. After viewing colors and a really true black I could not believe I had been using my other monitor for so long.

As far as gaming, the 2 milisecond response time is amazing. I played Crysis on this monitor and never noticed any ghosting at all. The monitor is full 1080P so I would emagine High Def movies would look amazing although I refuse to buy any HD format until a winner prevails. Looks like it will be BlueRay soon! All I need is DVI but the Sceptre included DVI and VGA. The actual resolution is 1920×1200 and the contrast ratio is 4000:1.

One other thing. I have my monitor mounted on the wall so it is not an issue for me but I hear this monitor is wobbly on it’s stand.
