Good for an "updated " product

A strange mode was installed by default, due to which the image on the screen was blurry. If I didn't have another monitor of the same make and model to compare the settings to, I would probably return it as defective. "Smart View" has been activated, causing the image to become blurry. Turn this off and you'll get better black levels. Not perfect, just better. There were some marks on the back of the monitor, but the screen was not scratched. good enough for me

Pleasantly surprised

What an amazing value! I bought one of these brand new ones a while back and put off buying the second one for a while but was happy to see they have a factory made option. It was very nice to see that it was as good as new and ready to use. Would definitely buy again and am glad I made the jump!

Awesome "updated " monitor!

Refurbished but looks like new

Came in a double pack which is nice. Revain often ships items in retail packaging only. This monitor was factory sealed and looked brand new. I never thought it was restored. Very happy with my purchase.

Works great, looks great and surprisingly comes with a bunch of cables!

The thing is as big as I wanted, it's very colorful and bright (adjustable of course). It also arrived on time and in secure packaging including a removable plastic wrap which is always a plus. What surprised me was that the package included not only a power cord, but also an HDMI, DVI, and VGA cable! It was very nice because I can actually use HDMI hehe. There are a few minor issues not enough to bring it down to 4 stars but they are worth noting. The glossy black finish shows fingerprints…

A good investment, but not forever.

So it's been about 6 months since I bought this monitor and it works great. While I'd say it's stable and worth buying lately, it's not. Control buttons on the monitor no longer work as usual. (Only the contrast button itself works.) 2. Having to unplug and plug the monitor back in when turning the desktop on and off while tolerable is a sudden change of pace.3. If you didn't like your settings before a freak hardware failure, then you're out of luck and stick with them indefinitely. I'm sure…

Only monitor without sound or HDMI cable without USB port

I didn't know it didn't have built in speakers when I bought it, the manufacturer doesn't say they don't have it. It also doesn't come with an HDMI cable. While happy with the look and functionality of the item, I am extremely disappointed that I now have to provide a cable and speaker! also NO USB port to power the speakers, I have to add either EDIT: The seller sent me a cable that had to be included

Good monitor in my opinion

I had 2 of these, one is about 8 years old (still working) and the other has been refurbished and will work for another 2-3 years. Good monitors.

Great monitor for a good price

I was a bit concerned as I have never received a refurbished product, but I just needed something to work from home and have a screen larger than my laptop. So far I am very satisfied, it was well packaged and looks like new.
