Pros: Great specs for a gaming machine. The only downfall with this system is the video card and power supply which I replaced and now I play Starcraft 2 maxed out no problem (Geforce 9800 GTX 512 mb and is a HUGE video card but DOES fit in the tower). Worked great right out of the box and I'm not a huge computer whiz either.

Cons: Video card is not that great for gaming. Has dual monitor capability and even though it has 1 gb vid ram on it my new card with half the memory runs circles around it.

Pros: None.

Cons: 20% of screen would flicker the entire time the TV has initially turned on. Will be returning item.

Overall Review: Would never buy refurbished again. Spend the extra amount of money and buy brand new. What a waste of time to re-package the item, spend time having it returned, ensuring its in proper order. How can they send broken items like this? I highly doubt it broke in transit as it was bubble wrapped very well with thick bubbles and no substantial damage to the box itself. Very disappointed.

Pros: I am not a huge computer gaming connoisseur but the monitor still looks great since the day I bought it. At the time it was a steal and still is but lucks the LED backlit capability of today's technology.

Cons: No LED backlighting.

Overall Review: LED backlit is something to consider as seen in HDTVs the contrast changes are MUCH greater.
