Samsung SyncMaster 2443BWT 24" LCD Monitor - 5 ms (Refurbished)

I have a dozen or more of these monitors in my office and - obviously if I've repeated my purchase this many times - they give fantastic bang for the buck. First off its a 16:10 aspect ratio, not 16:9. That means its a little taller than the norm, hence the improved 1920x1200 resolution vs. the more typical 1920x1080. We have a few 1080 monitors in our office too and they are the staff's least favorite. We standardized on dual and quad 24" 1920x1200 monitors on every desktop and this O.co deal allowed me to fill my office with dual setups on every desk at a small fraction of what I would have had to pay for just about any brand you care to name. In an office environment, these monitors are every bit as good as that high-price brand that begins with a 'D'. One or two of the monitors had slight defects. Both with minor damage to the stand (they still functioned) - possibly due to shipper neglect. This was a non-issue because we use aftermarket monitor stands. Generally there was no way to tell these monitors were not brand new.

I bought this refurb monitor, and it works well. The monitor can rotate 90 degrees, and it's slightly loose on the stand. i.e. If you bump the table it's on, it can rotate a small amount on it's own. Quality of the monitor itself is excellent so far.
