Sceptre 34-Inch Curved Ultrawide WQHD Monitor 3440 x 1440 R1500 up to 165Hz DisplayPort x2 99% sRGB 1ms Picture by Picture, Machine Black 2023 (C345B-QUT168)

This is an excellent descktop PC monitor. It has 2 HDMI and 2 DP inputs and a refresh rate of 165 fps using DP. The color balance is correct and the picture resolution is very sharp. It has great brightness too. It is easy to setup and customize using the little on/off toggle switch under the center of the screen. I experience no ghosting and exceptionally smooth motion using my NVIDIA RTX graphics card. There is no tearing either.Other reviewers have complained that the included stand is flimsy and allows the screen to wobble. I do not have that problem at all. My stand is extremely rigid and the screen is held tightly to it. I’m guessing that maybe people with the loose stands assembled them with the small included screwdriver, which makes it difficult to fully tighten the assembly screws. I used a standard sized screwdriver with a Nr 2 Phillips point and was able to seat all three screws fully.I’ve also seen reviews that complained about no height adjustment or side to side adjustment. I find the viewing height to be perfect on my computer desk and have no need to swivel the screen from side to side.In summation, this monitor is a steal at its low price point and is perfect for my needs.

At 165hz its blazing fast! Amazing how much it changes a games appearance and performance. Used mainly for Warzone, its night and day over a 1440P 75hz monitor. To get full frame rate use a 1.4 DP cable. For some reason HDMI topped out at 100hz. Blacks are deep, colors are vibrant and text/fonts during windows is crisp. Al Mazarah never looked better!

Very good budget monitor. A bit bigger than I thought it would be, Sound quality is low but that’s not what you’re gonna wanna get it for anyways. I use headphones and it works just great.

I purchased two of these 34 inch 4K curved monitors to use in my home office environment. I have multiple windows open at the same time, and using a single 42″ monitor still didn’t give me the flexibility I wanted, hence two of these.They arrived yesterday and firstly, I have recently purchased monitors online only to have them arrive with a cracked screen. These are very well packaged and were perfect out of the box. That said, assembly of the simple but effective stand was three screws and all done. Very stable on my work surface. I am using a Windows 11 Pro laptop that has all the bells and whistles, and connect external devices through a hub / port. Now, here is why my review has the headline as you see it.After hooking everything up (power and HDMI and you’re done), and booting my computer, I had one display that was gorgeous with 4K resolution, and the other so blurry I couldn’t read it at 640×480 resolution. ?? It goes without saying that all of my Bios, drivers, and connections were solid, cables were good, etc. Windows would not let me select a resolution on the second monitor – it was all grayed out. I tried the monitor setup button itself – no joy as the resolution is controlled by the computer graphics card. I re-booted, I swapped cables, still no joy. Obviously this is a simple user-error, but it was really late in the day and beyond me to figure it out.I called the toll free number for Tech Support that was in the setup guide, and they have hours until early evening PST (I’m EST) so that was good. And then – after going through the call directory for Tech Support I got the dreaded recording “All agents are assisting other customers. You may leave a message or try again later.” Yeah – right; we’ve all heard that before. So, I left a message that I needed setup help, my name and number, and went downstairs to fix some dinner.Here’s the incredible part, and the First Shock. Less than 15 minutes and my cell rings and it is Sceptre Tech Support! Not a robot – a person! I went back to my home office, and started by telling the very polite young man (who spoke impeccable English) that I had just unboxed these and had not even registered them yet. Second Shock – he didn’t put me through name, address, email, phone, model, serial number, and the rest of the gamut that is normal. He simply asked what my problem was and what I had tried. We walked through that, changed around one connection, re-booted, and all was perfect! Third Shock – he stayed with me through it all, made sure I could shut down and start up without difficulty or change in display quality, confirmed monitor settings for my usage profile, and then took some extra time to tell me about features I had seen in the user guide that might be beneficial for me given my use, and walked me through those as well.I can promise you I will tell this story again and again. Beyond that, I’m going to look at everything this company sells and – if I have a need – I will buy their products. Those of you in the electronics world will understand how extraordinary this level of customer interaction is in today’s world. I wish I had this person’s name, as he deserves the accolades, but he didn’t give it – he just was there to help.Wow . . .

When I was going through reviews I saw some complaints from some others that have not been the case for me. I’ve had the monitor for over 2 months now.There’s a popular review saying there’s “ghosting”. I have not experienced any ghosting nor any other visual artifacts while gaming or otherwise. No dead pixels (yet). Visual quality seems fine and dandy to me (you can change it in settings to your liking probably).I can’t speak to the customer service quality because I have not had to deal with them since I have no real issues with the monitor. Some people were complaining about the speaker quality and, sure, it’s not great, but I don’t know why you would expect monitor speakers to be great in the first place. I mostly use headphones, but they work well enough for me when for some reason I can’t have headphones on. I feel like if you want great sound quality you should just get real speakers instead of relying on your monitor.The one thing that bothers me about this monitor is a relatively small issue and that’s that when I shut down or put my computer to sleep, it takes like 10-15 seconds before I can actually power down the monitor. The monitor goes through this sequence where it says there’s no video input and that it’s shutting down or whatever, but during this 10-15 second sequence it won’t let me turn it off. So that’s annoying, but not really a big deal. I have to try to be really quick to turn it off after hitting the shutdown/sleep button if I don’t want to wait.
