LG - Geek Squad Certified Refurbished 27UK600-W 27" IPS LED 4K UHD FreeSync Monitor with HDR - Gray/White

My boss has this same monitor brand new and it has been great for him. So I opted to save a few dollars and get a the certified refurbished version thinking it would only have a little wear and tear. The monitor I received was a in large, heavily air cushioned boxed, which was nice to see. Once I opened it though, I saw the heavily tattered original packaging. I don't inherently have a problem with the monitor being taped back up in its original packaging, but this was tattered to the point of concern. Like this box looks like it's been some places. When I opened it up, a chunk of broken off styrofoam packaging fell out and the protective cover over the monitor was loosely put on with several tears, all of which is never reassuring. At this point I felt lucky that at least all the necessary items were included. I set the monitor up and turned it on only to find in the bottom left corner two small cracks in the display with a tiny batch of dead pixels. I looked at the bottom left corner of the monitor's frame and it was cracked, looking like it had been dropped or slammed in that spot. With all of that, I think it's a fair assumption that this obvious damage to a monitor was missed during the "refurbishing" process, and not due to shipping because the outer box had so much air cushioning. Needless to say, I'm very disappointed.

I ordered this because this was one of the best budget friendly 4k monitor for mix home+office work as per my findings. when I received this, it was completely unusable, two main issues:- A) 2 screws to connect to monitor stand were missing. This being refurbished this was kind of okay and hence turned the monitor on. B) Power on without connecting with laptop ( this is good method to check pixel - bleeding/factory issue) and it was bleeding in the 3-4 inches above - bottom left corner. C) connect with laptop. used Microsoft paint brush (take a full size - image and fill with different color and check), B) will always there, and another issue found was 2-3 pixels in the center were always white.. I had no choice but to return !!! initial local best buy store could not find this model in the system and did a lot of scrutiny and checks before accepting back the monitor !!!

Such a great screen, Cristal clear, cake to set up and wall mount (yes I was missing the 2 screws as well, but as stated I wall mounted the screen anyway and for about a dollar you can get the 2 screws lol)

Beautiful accurate images. This monitor required very little calibration out of box and was super easy to setup. Unfortunately there is a single dead pixel that can be noticed during bright scenes, but this is to be expected with an IPS panel. The blacks are very deep and very minimal backlight bleed. IPS panels are essentially luck-of-the-draw.

I bought open box for value, however, there is not too much discount from original price. Trade off bet discount and warranty of open box. So far, working fine after 1 month.

I USE THIS MONITOR FOR MY LOREX CAMERA SET UP AT THE SHOP. i'VE ALSO PURCHASED ONE OF THESE PREVIOUSLY.

Monitor came in large bubble wrap packaging but looked okay. Week after purchase I finally hit a day off to put it together. Powered it on. And there was a large crack in the top right corner. Compromising the entire picture. When online to see what the return process was they said take it back to a store. Store. Said I waited too long to return it and then I only had 72 hours to return it. $450 paperweight. Thanks. Best buy for selling my garbage online and not honoring the purchase. Consumers beware

I love this product, very easy to use and good picture! Great for gaming!!
