ASUS VE276Q Black 27" 2ms(GTG) HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 100,000 :1 (ASCR) Built-in Speakers

Pros: 27" of wholesome goodness. No dead pixels.

I got the luck of the draw with taking a chance at buying this refurbished product, but I was not disappointed at all. This screen was worth every penny (so far, anyway).

Though I've only hooked it up as of today, I played a few games and watched a video or two on it just to check it out. It looks great and doesn't seem to have any mechanical problems like a broken base or anything like that. It tilts on the base/stand just fine like it is supposed to.

Thank you Asus for refurbishing something so it works, and, thank you NewEgg for timely shipment and careful packaging. I can't dock an egg for UPS's service, because I do have a complaint about that, at least.

Overall, a great product. Very happy customer!

Cons: - Didn't come with a cable or two, but missing cables are easy to replace. People (at least in my case) usually have extra cables lying around. At the worst, they're not that expensive to pick up if you don't have one lying around. Can't dock an egg for something trivial like this, it still functions just like it is supposed to.

- Did not come with the monitor documentation. Not a big problem, since I usually throw most of that stuff away anyhow. It isn't like I can't find a manual for it online, so no egg docked for that.

Other Thoughts: I know this isn't NewEgg's fault, but the guy that delivered the package from UPS knocked on the door once, and when I was about to answer the door he was coming back from his truck with the package. I was amazed to watch him as he took the package and sort of "hefted" it onto my porch! Like, what the hell, seriously? Who does that?

THANKFULLY NewEgg provided ample packaging which kept it safe, but it is raining here right now and that monitor wouldn't have survived getting soaked. It looked like the packaging could have survived a little dampness, but prolonged exposure to rain would have ruined it.

I'm just glad I was here today when it arrived!

Pros: No dead pixels, PIP, Displayport input. No light bleed through.

Cons: Trying to stick with the Refurbish aspect, but View angles not great, which I think is most of the reason these monitors are returned. But it's not an issue setting at your desk. Headphones laying on your desk will be much louder than the speakers.

Other Thoughts: I read about dead pixels on new monitors. From what I can tell, dead pixels don't pass the refurb test. So having a second set of eyes look at it (after it being returned the first time) I think gives you a better chance of being dead pixel free.... To the poster above, RMA that thing now. You'll be glad you did latter...

Pros: Love it being a 27 also love the color and all the addons this mono has.

Cons: Dammaged WELL!!!! With a crack inside the screen all the way across it is anoying but im useing it anyhow..Hopefuly it wont die on me anytime soon.

Other Thoughts: I didnt want to make a fuss returning it. I realy like this and i need it NOW. SO i cannot return it. Anyhow I sugest this mono if its non dammaged.
