Before I bought this monitor I saw some of the reviews that said the DVI port failed and I still bought it. I called Sceptre customer service (who by the way is the sales person also). He assured me that all of the issues were fixed and gave me that same mainboard crap story. I bought the...

Do yourself a favor and stay away from Sceptre. check out the reviews on Newegg. It has an issue with the DVI port. I would go with a monitor that I can return to a store and get my money right away. They do not sell these in stores. They also ship refurbished units as new. When I received mine...

When you input the settings for a computer monitor on the 360 with vga it does not ask you 720p or 1080i. It ask for the resolution. It does not have 1680x1080 as an option so you have to chose 1280x1024. There are two higher than that which is 1920x1080 and 1300???(Not sure of the number. The...

The highest setting you can put the Xbox 360 is 1280x1024 it does not give the option for 1680. It does give the option for 1920 but the monitor will not allow it. I did not see any stretching because the XBOX 360 was set on wide screen. There are no black bars on the side. The picture is...

I am trying to spread the word that this monitor is faulty. I believe this is why they don't sell them in stores. Looks great with the XBOX360 but the DVI port stopped working after 1 month and when I tried to use the HDMI that did not work either. If you check the reviews you will see this is...

Radio Shack has the Monster VGA cable for Xbox 360 for $29.99. Check it out!!

Do yourself a favor and get a different monitor. You will thank me in the long run. I am willing to bet that you will return this monitor before it is six months old. Get a better brand. I am returning mine for the Samsung.

I have the Sceptre and it has given me nothing but problems. This monitor comes with a faulty DVI port. After a few weeks of use the port goes bad. My Sceptre was working fine, I had the Xbox 360 on the VGA and the computer on the DVI. I hardly used the computer and after a few weeks the...
