      Your Sceptre display syncs time automatically according to your local televised channel. This function only works while the (optional) TV tuner is connected to an ANTENNA.

      If your Sceptre Monitor shows a picture but has no audio, first make sure the audio cable is securely connected. Next, readjust the volume using the remote control. If you are using a tuner, ensure that the tuner signal is not lower than 65%.

    My cell phone doesn’t work when I connect the MHL cable to HDMI on Sceptre X40, what to do?
    • A
      Antonio LopezSep 22, 2025
      Check if you connected to HDMI3 or another HDMI since ONLY HDMI3 works with MHL. If it still doesn’t work make sure you have the correct MHL cable (some have more pins than others). Ultimately, please consult your cell phone manufacturer for compatibility issues.

    Why is there noise or trash pixels on the screen of my Sceptre X40 Monitor?
    • J
      Julia RoseSep 3, 2025
      When your Sceptre monitor's resolution is higher than the digital channel’s broadcast resolution, the signal is up-converted to match your display’s resolution. This up-converting process can result in noise or trash pixels on the screen.

    What to do if HDCP video has no audio on Sceptre Monitor?
    • S
      Sandra EsparzaSep 1, 2025
      If your HDCP video on your Sceptre monitor has no audio, ensure a 3.5 mm mini-jack cable is connected from your HDCP video device's sound output to the display's VGA STEREO INPUT. If your HDCP video device uses RCA AUDIO jacks, you'll need an RCA audio to 3.5 mm mini-jack cable.
