I'm always skiddish about purchasing refurbished electronics but at the time of my purchase, this was too good of a deal to pass up. The g-sync feature was perfect for my NVIDIA 1070 and I wanted to downgrade from a 55" "TV" to a real gaming monitor and I couldn't be happier! I get true 144 Hz refresh and my FPS are through the roof. I noticed immediately the lack of lag input and crispness of the picture. My characters and inputs respond unbelievably fast and has honestly made me a better gamer. I thought I'd miss the "bigness" of a 55" but I don't even notice because I'm so wrapped up in the quality of the games and how much more fun they are now. The ONLY downside, and it's not even really a downside because it was refurbished, but there were some minor scratches on the back. But again, it's refurbished. Definitely going to buy a second one when the prices come down a little more.

I love this monitor. The picture is amazing, colors look beautiful and with it being 1440p everything looks crystal clear. The bezels are very small. I have no complaints about this monitor, I actually have two of them and it is amazing. My only problem is this is my second time purchasing this monitor refurbished and my first one was essentially brand new but this one has a dead pixel that is a bit annoying, but i guess that is a risk of buying refurbished.

When I received this.. the unit Was inside a brown box when I opened that brown box I found the original box that It was packed in the box had been smashed on the corner then when I proceeded to open it up I noticed on the top there was a bunch of empty wrappers for things I assume I didn’t get like one of them the display port cable then when I got underneath the Styrofoam that was cracked I noticed that my screen looked OK but have fingerprints all over the edge and sides I turned it on and looked it ok w pixels so far ..we’ll see how it goes
