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: Same as my previous review but, I have an update for those getting 2 of these.

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: So this monitor as per the specs comes with a Displayport, 2 HDMI and a DVI. Now, I will never take an egg away for my lack of knowledge about a product or, failing to read ALL the details so, to keep someone from making the same opps that I did, I'm offering you this. The DVI HAS TO BE, Dual link in order for you to run it with a DVI cable. That means for those who don't know, the pins that you see have to fill the entire face of the connector. Except the portion that has the solid thin pin to the left of the face. Otherwise, you will need a GPU with multiple displayports or HDMI. Just a heads up. Luckily, I ordered a displayport cable because I wanted the best resolution/quality I could get but, my cable is still in transit. Otherwise, these monitors are amazing!

Pros: REFURBISHED MODEL> The packaged looked brand new as did all the accessories. The screen nor bezel had no scratches, and I haven't noticed and dead/stuck pixels. These are nice monitors, I've got a few of the 29" model of this same series and the've been great. One small issue listed in the cons..

Cons: Everything looked new and great, I understand its refurbished and I saved good amount of money. But, I bought this Solely to mount on a vesa bracket and upon trying to mount it I discovered the bottom two holes were ~ok~ish but one top hole had no threads and was wobbled out in an oval, and the other top hole seemed to have had the wrong thread pitch screw just forced into it tearing the threads up bad. Kinda sucked, but I was able to use the bottom holes, and cleaned out the one top hole and managed to get a screw to finally thread in properly and it felt ok, but the other top hole just gets no screw. Monitors are so light these days it doesn't take much to hold them, so I didn't bother with an exchange at this point I think I'll just keep it because its on a static flat mount and doesn't get touched. But if it was on a pivoting/adjustable mount then you would definantly need all four screws properly secured. So knocking 1 egg for being called a grade 'A' I would call it a B or B-

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.

Pros: Very small bezel. Great picture quality. Very easy installation. Functional Speakers

Cons: None

Overall Review: A little smaller than I thought it would be (my own fault for not looking into it more) Unique control button setup, innovative but not exactly intuitive.

Pros: Looks and works as 100% New! Great colors and performance!

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: This is my first refurbished monitor, so I was a little nervous it would have some scratches or minor damages, but NO. It looks like 100% new, original box and nothing was broken or missing. Great monitor, I switched to this from 21.5" Dell IPS Monitor, and this onme is better in every way, especially the deeper blacks, in which Dell displayed very Grey-ish blacks.

Pros: No scratches All the pieces were there Original box

Cons: The only con is that the screw cover was broken but not something I really care because you can't notice it since it's in the back.

Pros: I wanted a monitor wide enough to show 2 windows side-by-side, without being too narrow for web pages. Mission accomplished!

Cons: None.

Overall Review: With my Windows taskbar along the side, there is room for two windows @ approx 1200 pixels wide. I have not tried the 2nd HDMI port.
