Sceptre 27-inch Curved Gaming Monitor
Score: 81/100Rankings
The ASUS VG248QG is a 24-inch TN gaming monitor delivering a blistering 165 Hz refresh rate and 0.5 ms response time, making it ideal for competitive esports. Its trade-off is limited color accuracy and viewing angles due to the TN panel, plus modest ergonomic adjustments. Best suited for fast-paced gamers prioritizing speed over visual fidelity.
The Sceptre 27-inch Curved C275B-FWT240 provides an exceptional 240 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms response on a VA panel with 99% sRGB coverage, delivering ultra-smooth gameplay. The 1080p resolution on a large 27-inch screen and limited ergonomic adjustments can make images appear pixelated and setup less flexible. Targeted at competitive PC gamers who prioritize refresh speed and immersion.

Professional reviewers and ASUS editors commend the VG248QG for its blistering 165 Hz overclock, 0.5 ms response, and seamless G-SYNC/Adaptive-Sync integration, which together deliver tear-free, ultra-smooth gameplay. They also highlight ELMB and GamePlus features as esports-focused enhancements, while noting the trade-off of a TN panel's limited color accuracy and the stand's minimal ergonomics.
Everyday users love the monitor's lightning-fast response and easy Adaptive-Sync setup, describing it as "blazing fast" and great value for a 1080p high-refresh experience. Common complaints revolve around the TN panel's color shift at side angles, the lack of height or swivel adjustments, and occasional coil-whine or backlight bleed issues.
Professional reviewers commend the Sceptre C275B-FWT240 for delivering a rare combination of a 240 Hz refresh rate, 1 ms response time, and near-full sRGB coverage at a very affordable price, making it a standout budget VA gaming monitor. They appreciate the immersive 1500R curve, flexible connectivity, and added conveniences like built-in speakers and blue-light filtering. However, they caution that the 1080p panel may look coarse on a 27-inch display and that console gamers cannot exploit the high refresh rate due to platform limitations, while the modest brightness could be a drawback in bright environments.
Everyday buyers praise the monitor's ultra-smooth 240 Hz performance, immersive curvature, and the convenience of built-in speakers and multiple HDMI ports. Common complaints revolve around the 1080p resolution appearing low on a large screen, limited ergonomic adjustments, and insufficient brightness for very bright rooms, especially when used outside of a dim gaming setup.
