I've purchased several of these and all have been perfect. Though, I do recommend making separate orders if you're going to buy multiples so that they have a chance of being packaged individually. The last box Amazon used had about a foot of room in it.
As expected, the weak point is the speakers. But it's not just the typical hollow sound that comes from all monitor speakers, they're also very quiet.
If you need to use them, install Equalizer APO to amplify the volume.
Oddly, the Amazon page description says it has 1 DP and 3 HDMI. If you Google the model number, the Scepter site for this model also says 3 HDMI and 1 DP. Some pictures show 2 and 2 and other show 3 and 1.
Check bbb, lots of monitor failing complaints plus buyer pays shipping even under warranty
I can vouch for this. I purchased one of their monitors and it lasted just over a year. In my case, the screen started going black at high refresh rates, then a big black bar appeared across the bottom of the screen.

Thats the norm for a lot of companies now a days. Usually you pay shipping there, they pay shipping back.

Some reviews on Amazon say they were able to overclock to 120hz and 100hz. I wonder how the input lag and other gaming related specs are.
I dont really game all that often, so a 4K monitor might be nice. And if it can OC to 100hz thats good enough for my gaming purposes.
Still gaming at 60Hz on my current monitor and I dont see much need to go to 100 or 120hz, would be cool to have, but it seems like every 4K Monitor thats 3840x2160 (very uncommon) is 5ms refresh rate and 60hz, unless your spending like $500+.

Genuine question. Does anybody reading this put any value into monitor speakers? Is there someone reading this playing PC games using the monitor speakers?

Huh I don't understand your gaming comment.
Anyway I don't have this Sceptre, but have two different models. The speakers are garbage. Even for daily stuff I do at work or watching YT. They are very very quiet. Yes people care and don't want to clutter their desks.

So which is it? 2 and 2 or 3 and 1?
EDIT: Walmart [walmart.com] also has it for $169.97, and specifically says it's the 2 HDMI and 2 DP model.

Avoid if you can.
