LG 38GN950-B 38" Curved Monitor

I've had this monitor for almost a month now with no issues, no dead pixels, everything works perfectly well. I had been eyeballing this model of monitor for a couple of years now, and when I went to look for it new, it was still sitting at $1,700 on Best Buy and Amazon. How this has held its value over the years so excessively is beyond me, but amidst my browsing I came across this monitor "refurbished" on Amazon. I read their little excerpt about it being more environmentally friendly to buy used/refurbished vs new, and admittedly that made sense. I've been working for a tech company over the past few months, and the amount of electronics that we have to throw away - because the recycling station tells us they can't recycle this and that - is saddening. So that coupled with the fact that this monitor was only $700 refurbished (when I got mine) and I figured I'd gamble on it.I was minorly disappointed - when I finally unboxed this puppy a few days after ordering - to find that it had a tiiiiiiiiiny scratch in the bottom right corner on the screen, but it's so negligible that I figured it wouldn't matter too much; and I was right. When the monitor is turned on and displaying all of its dazzling fast moving pixels, I don't even remember that the tiny scratch is there. Again, it has no dead pixels, and performs perfectly well. I can't remember the exact hours of usage this monitor had on it when I first plugged it in, I think a little over 4,000, but it's definitely running like a champ. The way I see it, I got 99% of the monitor I would have gotten in new condition, but at less than half the price. When you look at it that way, it's an absolute steal.If you're like me, and you pour over a bunch of reviews before you decide to purchase something expensive, then I'd say this is definitely worth giving a shot. If I could give this a 4.5/5 stars I would, but overall I'm satisfied enough that I'll just round it up to 5.
