Sceptre 24" LCD

Great...right after I decide that a 22" is big enough Sceptre comes out with this...I'm just not going to be able to get a new monitor any time soon here.
 
I've concluded that now is not the time to by a 24" monitor. At first I was considering the Dell, then the Benq came along. But it has some problems. So I was considering the 23" Apple Cinema Display. Then some interesting S-IPS 24" monitors from LG and NEC were announced. Now Sceptre.

I think 24" monitors are too new to the market. In a few months, we'll know better what's out there. There will be more options. The bugs will be worked out. Prices may come down a little.

Unless you really have to get something now, I think it's better to wait. This is not waiting endlessly as ever newer products are announced. I think this is just not jumping on the 24" bandwagon at the very beginning. I think it's better to let new types of products mature a little bit, before purchasing them and not adopt the very first versions of a new type of product.

The specifications are unbelieveable. Does anyone here know what panel they're using?

Not an IPS for sure but I cant tell if it is PVA or MVA. Most likely one of the below panels.

Samsung - http://www.samsung.com/Products/TFTLCD/Monitor/LTM240M1/LTM240M1.htm

AUO - http://www.auo.com/auoDEV/products.php?sec=monitor&func=info&product_id=6&items_id=1

Hannstar's site is not working at the moment so not sure if they might make it. Will report back.
 
Yeah, I'm in the same boat as Phelptwan. I've come pretty close to buying the 22incher from Costco... but with this new 24 coming out.... I think if this comes in at around $600 I may be tempted. The increase in resolution would be worth it for me, plus I don't game as much as I used to so I could live with some lag. Wonder when it's going to be available?
 
I contacted a Sceptre rep. who informed me that this model has a release date scheduled for some time in January! Also it looks to have a launch MSRP of $599,

Sounds pretty hot to me especially if Costco picks up this model. Wonder how this is going to compare to the Gateway 24 incher that just came out.
 
do you have to be a costco member to buy online from them...

i'm lookin at the 20.1 naga III p-mva
 
That looks incredible, though I wish it's styling looked better like the BenQ instead of closer to the Samsung's looks.

Yes you have to be a member...also costco doesn't have the Nage III.
 
Wow, this sounds amazing. Anyone know if Sceptre is a good brand?

2 HDMI ports. I wonder if it has 1:1 pixel mapping and support 1080p over component.
 
yeah, the more I think about it this is starting to look a lot hotter than the 22inch Sceptre. The 2 inches of screen will be great for using this as a tv replacement or 360 gaming. Plus the increase in resolution will translate into more productivity. I think the MVA panel should be a good compromise for me, good colors, nice contrast. I like!

If you mean this one. It's a TN panel and not the same unit that's in the first post.


I've had a Sceptre X20G-Naga III for about a year and a half and I really like it. I'm ready to move up to a bigger one though, especially since I scratched the protective cover about two months ago. :(
