#X1440p civilization v windows#
Unfortunately, my monitor calibration tool had incompatibilities with Windows 11 and as such I wasn’t able to take detailed HDR measurements or contrast measurements. I personally wouldn’t consider this a deal breaker, but it was annoying in a few scenarios. While the quality of the HDR was breathtaking in gaming, in certain dark scenes the backlight bleeding was perceptible – giving it a “washed out” look near the edges of the monitor. With HDR disabled the brightness is a bit overwhelming for desktop usage, but this can be fixed by enabling the “Ambient Light Sensor” option in the Monitor’s OSD, which adapts the monitors brightness so that it’s not blinding anymore. Even the Windows desktop looks good with HDR enabled – whereas previously it looked washed out using other monitors. HDR on this monitor is phenomenal, and is the best HDR I have seen on any monitor thus far.
The Nebula C27 is the brightest monitor I have used – Sceptre rates this monitor at 600 cd/m 2 typical brightness, while I measured it at 564 nits. The “out of the box” RGB settings were perfect according to my calibration tool, requiring no adjustments whatsoever. HDR, Brightness, and Backlight BleedingĬolors are vivid on this panel, better than any VA monitor I have ever used and as good as any IPS monitor. I don’t know if it actually hits the advertised 1ms response times – you’ll have to wait for Hardware Unboxed or TFT Central for those test results – but considering this result in on part with Fast IPS, I expect detailed measurements of response times to be good. I haven’t noticed trailing in any of the games I have tested in. This astounded me, as I never in my life thought I’d see a VA monitor producing results similar to a Fast IPS monitor. When looking at the results above, keep in mind that the colors shown above are different due using different cameras (and I couldn’t remember the exact settings I used for the NX-EDG27x photo), the important part is to look at the trailing – which shows virtually the same results as the IPS monitor. Nixeus NX-EDG27x (IPS) vs Sceptre Nebula C27 (VA) The image below shows a comparison of the previously reviewed Nixeus EDG27x IPS KFS monitor to Sceptre’s Nebula C27 VA monitor. Panel Performance UFO Blur Testing ResultsĪs mentioned previously, when I first tested this monitor I didn’t realize even realize it was a VA panel – I legimately thought it was an IPS model based on response times and the vibrancy of colors. The “Quick Start” (not pictured) section has a selection of the most commonly used monitor settings for easy access. Color, Picture, and System sections are pictured below.
Many monitor manufacturers all use the same generic OSDs, but Sceptre is one of the exceptions – sporting a fully custom design for their OSD. The on screen display (OSD) is controlled by a single button control, similar to many LG monitors. This monitor has a strong curve with a 1000R radius, which initially concerned me – but I quickly adjusted to this during normal usage. The included stand will satisfy most users needs – with support for vertical and horizontal titling and height adjustment (it does not support swiveling). …and then slipping the neck into the back of the monitor. Setting it up is a simple matter of screwing in the bottom of the stand to the neck via the thumb screw… The installation of the C275B-QWN168W is simple, requiring no tools whatsoever.
