Amazing Quality Refurb

You can honestly find more professional reviews of the MG279Q out there, but I'll give my opinion - This monitor is down right GORGEOUS. In general, if you have the GPU power to run 1440p natively at stable FPS, then you're doing yourself a disservice if you're still running on a 1080p monitor. If you can afford a 1440p panel (IPS a PLUS!), 144Hz refresh rate, DO IT. Not only do you get the benefit of cleaner, less aliased images even at something low like FXAA or just 2x MSAA, you also have the benefit of greater screen space on the desktop - that means more space for side-by-side windows for Word/Excel, and even web pages and streaming services if you have the processing power. With this monitor being factory authorized refurbished, I actually think that's a good thing! Major issues with the monitor were most likely addressed, such as dead pixels or damaged screen. So currently the monitor is performing very well with no problems. Image quality is superb, and the OSD works as expected. The body of the monitor looks practically brand new, untouched. Only downside is it only came with a mini-DP to DP cord and power cable... Not sure if a brand new MG279Q comes with more than that, but the mini-DP works just fine. Overall a great purchase for a fraction of MSRP!Read full review
