Gaming at 240Hz: Is the Sceptre C325B-FWD240 Worth It?

I recently bought the Sceptre C325B-FWD240 to upgrade my gaming setup, hoping to take advantage of 240Hz. However, I ran into some issues with **input lag** and inconsistent frame delivery. I’ve heard mixed reviews about its performance at high refresh rates. Should I stick with it or consider alternatives? Would love some real-world feedback!

I've been using this monitor for a month now. The 240Hz is smooth, but I did notice some slight input lag in competitive shooters.

Mike, how noticeable was the lag? Did it affect your gameplay significantly?

I had similar issues initially, but updating the firmware helped reduce input lag. Have you tried that?

For fast-paced games, I think a good 240Hz monitor makes a big difference. But make sure your GPU can handle it smoothly.

David, I agree. My RTX 3070 handles 240Hz well, but at 1440p. Do you think the C325B-FWD240 is good value for the price?

I've seen some reviews mentioning color accuracy isn't great out of the box. Did you have to calibrate it?

Anna, I did some basic calibration, and it improved a lot. Still, it's not as good as higher-end monitors, but for the price, it's decent.

How about the build quality? I've had issues with some cheap monitors lasting only a year.

Rachel, from my experience, the build feels sturdy enough, but I wouldn't throw it around. No dead pixels so far.

Would you recommend this monitor for someone switching from 144Hz to 240Hz? Any noticeable difference?

Laura, definitely noticeable, especially in fast-paced games. But make sure your system can push that frame rate smoothly.
