LG 25UM65-P Black 25" 14ms HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor IPS 250 cd/m2 1,000:1 Built-in Speakers (LG recertified Grade A)

Pros: I bought this monitor to make viewing very large/wide spreadsheets easier. I was using a 1600x900 monitor and it just wasn't cutting it. I didn't realize just how much of a difference this would make. Text is sharp (albeit small) and colors seem fairly accurate. I won't go into deep details on that front as I didn't buy it for color accuracy; I just turned brightness and contrast so it was easiest to read text.

If you have never used a 21:9 monitor, you don't know what you're missing out on!

Cons: The single button the bottom of the screen used to control the OSD and turn the monitor on/off is weird. You can't see it well, so you just have to keep pushing and clicking it until you figure out what you're doing. The OSD itself isn't bad.

Overall Review: I would buy this again in a heartbeat. I got it on sale and wish I would have bought two.

Pros: Great monitor for a great price. Excellent anti-reflective surface, too -- probably the best I've ever seen.

Cons: Refurbished "Grade A" monitor had some pits and scratches in the upper right corner of the viewing surface of the screen.

Overall Review: I could RMA this, but won't due to time and trouble; the amount of damage is more of annoyance and worthy of a more negative review. I would consider this a "Grade B" refurb, not "Grade A." I would expect no physical damage to the important part of the monitor -- namely, the screen -- in a Grade A refurb.
