27GN950 vs PG27UK
Hey guys I’m looking to get a new 4K monitor. After some research, I’ve decided on the LG 27GN950. However, the store I want to buy it from has a factory refurbished PG27UK for the same price and with full warranty.
So, if you could get either monitor for the same price, which would you get? I was still leaning towards the 27GN950 as it’s a 2020 model. But really, I’m unsure. Input would be greatly appreciated!
The only reason to get one is gaming. That's a lot of money to spend on a tiny 27" monitor. What's the point of 4K on that size.
I wouldn't get either and would get a decent TV instead, but if I had to, it would be the ASUS.
Yep, a gaming monitor. I see what you're saying and that's a good point. I just don't have the space for anything alrger than 27".
Don't buy LG monitor as a factory second.
Why? my story.
Purchased a 32UD99 as a factory second a year and half back and now it has a light bleed on the corner. I should have got a brand new one back in the days so I could get it repaired under 3 Year warranty but the factory second ones only come with 1-year warranty.
Also it seems the light bleed in the corner is quite widespread for other models as well so don't risk your investment.
Whoa, that's some crazy light bleed. The factory reburbished one is the ASUS monitor though. But your point of risking the investment is solid. I'm just tempted at getting a refurbished one for half the price.
I'd go the new unbutchered one.
