Our take on the Sceptre 1600x900 20-Inch HDMI DVI VGA LED HD Monitor E205W-16008A True Black (2017)

The Sceptre E205W-16008A is a 20-inch LED monitor with a 1600x900 TN panel, a 5 ms response time and 3000:1 contrast. It accepts HDMI, DVI and VGA, so older desktops and newer laptops both connect without adapters. It suits a second screen, a basic office desk or a budget gaming setup. Against 1080p monitors it gives up vertical resolution and viewing angles, and owners report uneven backlighting and weak built-in sound on units like this.

Questions and answers

Is 1600x900 good enough for everyday work?
Yes for documents, email and web browsing. It is below 1080p, so you see less vertical content and text is less crisp than on a full HD screen.
Can I use it with a modern laptop?
Yes through HDMI. The DVI and VGA ports cover older desktops, but there is no DisplayPort or USB-C.
Does it have built-in speakers?
No. Audio has to come from your computer's speakers or headphones.
Can the stand be adjusted?
No. It tilts only, with no height, swivel or pivot adjustment.
Is it good for gaming?
The 5 ms response handles casual and fast-paced games without heavy blur. The TN panel and 60 Hz refresh limit it for competitive play.
What comes in the box?
The monitor, its stand and a power cable. A video cable is not always included, so check before you buy.
