This monitor from Geeks is worth the cost really as it seems to be brand new. I checked the price over at Amazon and the cheapest I found it is $189.99 for new, so for $50 less you can get the same monitor that you’ll never know isn’t new....

Aside from a fairly weak and unimpressive base, the monitor is swell. It doesn’t have too many bells and whistles, but if your main concern is a monitor that has the color clarity, response time and aspect ratio to keep up with high-demand...
