Score: 64/100
Sceptre E275W
Score: 75/100Rankings
The Sceptre E275W-FW100T is a 27-inch VA gaming monitor offering a 100 Hz refresh rate, 1 ms blur reduction, and 100% sRGB color coverage with AMD FreeSync. Its tilt-only stand, 1080p resolution on a large screen, and modest speakers limit its appeal. Ideal for budget gamers and multimedia users who prioritize smooth performance over high pixel density.
The ASUS ZenScreen MB16ACE is a 15.6-inch portable IPS monitor notable for its ultra-thin 8 mm profile and hybrid USB-C/A connectivity. Its modest brightness, lack of speakers and driver-dependent USB-A input limit its suitability for demanding tasks. Best suited for mobile professionals needing a lightweight secondary screen with auto-rotate capability.

Professional reviewers and editors commend the ZenScreen MB16ACE for its unmatched portability, thin profile, and convenient single-cable USB hybrid-signal operation. They also value the auto-rotation and eye-care features, though they point out the modest brightness, lack of speakers, and the need for a DisplayLink driver on USB-A as notable drawbacks.
Everyday users consistently praise the monitor's ultra-slim, lightweight build and the hassle-free USB-C connection that eliminates extra adapters. The foldable case stand and broad OS support receive frequent positive mentions, while the requirement for a driver on USB-A, absence of speakers, and limited brightness are common sources of mild disappointment.
“great job for budget 1080p gaming despite barebones stand.”
Professional reviewers commend the monitor's color accuracy, 100 Hz refresh rate, and FreeSync performance, noting it offers excellent visual quality for its price point, while calling out the basic stand and the compromise of a large 1080p panel as the main drawbacks.
Everyday users generally appreciate the vivid colors, smooth FreeSync gameplay, and convenience of built-in speakers, but repeatedly mention the limited ergonomic adjustments of the stand and the underwhelming audio as areas needing improvement.
