biggest, best.

This is an excellent monitor. I've had a terrible monitor for so long I had to get used to what looked so good. Games, work, whatever. Everything is fine here guys.

DO NOT BUY - Buttons do not work and must be returned

DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY ON IT. Too many problems. Spend a little more money on new monitors, it's a waste of money. You will regret it.

That's how it should be!

Arrived pretty quickly! There were no problems, it works as expected. However, I'm confused by the warranty I bought. That's my feedback!

Great price and product

The monitor was delivered in excellent quality but the packaging it came in was worn but still looked like new. That's my feedback.

I'm skeptical about Refurb, but the monitor is in NEW condition!

I was initially skeptical about buying a refurbished monitor as monitors traditionally fall into my personal "don't buy used" category. I got to my feet and couldn't be happier. Two weeks have passed, the monitor is in perfect condition, there are NO dead pixels, no defects were found. Very happy with the repair as it saved me about $150.

Great value in my rating

In full disclosure it came with a dead pixel almost dead in the middle. ASUS has a dead pixel return policy, but it doesn't rise to the level of replacement. While I'm disappointed in that, I still give 5 stars for everything else. and honestly I don't notice the pixel anymore.

Nice monitor in very good condition

I was a little hesitant to purchase this monitor due to the limited amount of online reviews and the fact that it was an 'updated' product. But I couldn't get beyond the price and features. I am so glad I made this purchase. The monitor arrived quickly and looks like new. I didn't notice any damage or imperfections and the display is amazing. It works for me in 1440p, 165Hz and plays everything without problems. This will be a monitor that will be used for many years and I would like to order…

I wish I had ordered the first one refurbished

This is my second VG27AQ (as a second monitor). I was a bit nervous about the repair and what I received looked like it was open box as the original box contained all the parts. No problem. The item was dispatched promptly and although it was stated that a FedEx signature was required, I did not have to sign for it. This monitor is perfect for gaming and work. Highly recommended. I would also recommend searching YouTube for the ideal setting at 165Hz.

Worthy purchase best in my evaluation

It has a very nice display and I didn't see any dead pixels or defects on my monitor. I always try to buy ASUS when I can, they are usually reliable. However, an asterisk for the miserable speaker quality. I've tried setting up my software but it doesn't resolve the issue. I have to use my own speakers and headphones.

No power cord/adapter

There was no power adapter/cable included. The local micro center has this monitor back in stock, and with my micro center credit card discount and lower tax rate, it's almost as expensive as a refurbished one. I'm sending it back instead of waiting for the company to ship a new adapter.

For the skeptics of my review

For those of you who are skeptical about upgrading this monitor, the monitor I received had virtually no glare (which this monitor suffers from), no dead pixels, and everything was packaged securely with an HDMI cable and mini-jack . included in the box. The package was sent via FEDEX and required a signature. All in all a good choice! As for the monitor, there are hundreds of reviews online calling this an exceptionally good "GAMING" monitor and I have to agree. In general, there are no…

Great monitor but no power cord.

Great monitor but no power cord. I had to buy myself. Shipping the monitor without a power cord is not permitted. Thanks for attention.

Backlight Bleed Made it unusable for me.

I bought this monitor primarily for gaming. The main game I play is Rust, which has a lot of night fights where seeing well in different shades of black/darkness is very important. I had no idea what backlight bleeding was in front of this screen, and no matter what settings I tried, it was like full-screen glare in night scenes, making the game completely unplayable in the dark. I had to send it back and have since heard that these ASUS displays have a lot of backlight issues, but that's also…

Great monitor: my review

Good monitor, great price. I don't have much experience with gaming monitors, but this is my second monitor and I love it. Runs great, looks great. Easily hits 144fps at 1440p on Apex with my rtx 2060 (low settings but still looks amazing). Highly recommended, especially after the renovation.

Nice and dignified

I bought this refurbished monitor expecting to open it up and find a used product. NOT CORRECT. Came in the original packaging, all parts are wrapped in plastic, no scratches, scuffs or dents. Connected and WOW what is the difference from 60MHz to 144MHz. Really very happy and I saved $49 on boots too. Great deal in every way. This is my 5th buy back for a few hundred dollars and they have all been exceptional. I've saved hundreds of dollars by buying upgraded electronics. buy now
