Sceptre - NEBULA C345B-QUN168W

People here be balling. I had a Scepter Nebula 34" (in white), a KTC 34" (H35S18S), and a Pixio 34" (different desks) for a few years. All were perfectly fine for around / under $300 price point. If it was just a little bit cheaper, I'd probably splurge for the Dell 40" 5k2k (U4025QW).

Had a couple scepter nebula 34”

Not sure on higher end. I snagged a Sceptre 34" 1440 165hz monitor off Amazon last year that is a VA. The colors are amazing and I haven't had any noticeable smearing or ghosting in dark areas imo. Not enough to want an OLED anyway. I love this guy for balling on a budget.

I got a Sceptre 34" Ultrawide Curved Quad HD 180Hz Gaming Monitor. Its a upgrade model from last year that used to be C345B-QUT168.(old) C345B-QUT168.A1 (new) for review. For a Fast VA LED panel it is damn smooth and contrast is outstanding and while IPS does give better viewing angles i'm not going to be anywhere but in front of it while playing games so that just isn't a selling point for a personal monitor, if it was my TV sure. No visible tearing or black smearing effects while gaming at high Hz. So i donated my old one to my mom who was beyond happy at moving from a 24" Acer monitor to a 32" 1440p 165hz panel. 16:9. (My kids/nephews already have decent monitors).

I just built this (9800x3d, 5070 ti on a 34” 1440p ultrawide) and can confirm you’ll be playing ultra for every game. I don’t have cyberpunk but everything else is running at 144+ fps

Sceptre (theres only one 34” model) and I won’t bother to upgrade any time soon. It has a good refresh rate and it’s cheap. Lasted me almost 3 years without issue.  On the other hand, it’s VA, so unless you’re looking at it dead on, the blacks near the edges of the screen will look faded or washed out. It doesn’t bother me much because when I’m gaming or working; I’m not typically looking at the edge of the screen.  If I had to do it again I’d either stick with a $250-350 option like my current monitor, or I’d throw budget considerations out the window and upgrade the entire build to a 5090 and a 39” LG Ultragear OLED
