    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.

    Best Gaming Monitor

    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

    Works great I use it with a Nvidia RTX 2080 Super and get 144 fps with most games that aren't too hard too run. Other games that I don't get 144fps still look really nice. Love the USB ports on the monitor makes cable management for my mouse, keyboard, and headphones alot better. Overall a great monitor and I'll probably get another down the road.

    Monitor has been great over the past few years, however, over time the screen began to bleed and there have been white lines showing up. Thankfully I have purchased the protection program but would still recommend the product.

    So far this monitor has been tremendous. I would adjust the colors to what either a review on here said or a guy on the Amazon reviews, can't remember which. Other than that, monitor was in perfect condition and has a great picture.

    There was a few stains on the monitor that are noticeable when the computer is off. Besides that it is a refurbish and I am happy about the product that I received. 4/5

    I love the monitor! Even though theres a few negative reviews (for refub.) its really good. I have a new one I purchased a year ago from bestbuy and I’ve had this one since May and no dead pixels. I also purchased it with 4 year warranty so I have nothing to worry about. Planning on buying a third soon!

    The first one lasted about a year before the first dead pixel. The two I got with the geek squad replacements also had dead pixels. Got tired of the hassle and returned for refund and got s newer LG.
