It's been many years, so this is old data, but I purchased a half dozen or so Sceptre flat panel monitors for an office. Every one of them stopped working after about two years. I don't remember for sure, but they may have been LCDs with fluorescent backlights, so the fluorescents could have simply failed.

I've always had a poor opinion of Sceptre from this, but again, it could just be an out of date prejudice.

As a counter-anecdote, I purchased a Sceptre monitor in the 20"-30" range in 2010 and used it through 2015 when I gave it away. It's still in daily use and working fine for what it is.
