Professional reviewers commend the 24G2 for its low input lag, FreeSync Premium and G-Sync compatibility, which together deliver a highly responsive gaming experience. The IPS panel's color accuracy and 123 % sRGB coverage receive praise, as does the compact ergonomic stand that fits tight desk spaces. However, editors note the modest 1000:1 contrast ratio, lack of HDR, and average brightness as drawbacks for dark-room or content-creation work.
Everyday users highlight the smooth 144 Hz gameplay, vibrant IPS colors, and sturdy adjustable stand as the main strengths of the monitor. Recurring complaints focus on IPS glow, backlight bleeding, limited ports, stand wobble at full height, and the monitor's low brightness in bright environments.
Professional reviewers consider the Sceptre 24-inch curved monitor a solid entry-level gaming option, emphasizing its affordable 100 Hz panel with Adaptive Sync, immersive curvature and space-saving built-in speakers. However, they criticize the lower-than-advertised color gamut, limited ergonomic adjustments and modest audio performance, suggesting it's best for casual gamers rather than color-critical work.
Everyday users generally enjoy the straightforward setup, smooth 100 Hz performance and the immersive feel of the curve, often noting the convenience of built-in speakers and narrow bezels. Recurring complaints focus on the need to manually set the refresh rate, thin speaker sound, lack of height/ swivel adjustments, and muted color reproduction.
