Sceptre are 4K but I don’t think they’re high quality.



For a datapoint on Sceptre quality, I've got two 24" Sceptre monitors in front of me that are incredibly annoying because Sceptre cheaped out and doesn't bother to program the monitor serial number into the EDID and instead just use a static placeholder value. This means every time I reconnect my work machine there's a 50/50 chance the display layout will be backwards because MacOS can't seem to use the interface path to differentiate monitors like Linux does.


Thanks for sharing this, I haven't really heard anything negative about Sceptre, but that is mostly due to relative obscurity.


My experience has been mostly fine, although I also had some EDID challenges for awhile which I chalked up to my complicated setup. However I also don't mind things like backlight bleed.
