Refurbished monitors for home, work and gaming

Well-chosen refurbished monitors can greatly improve your experience: more workspace, easier reading and, for gaming, smoother performance. In this category you will find monitors for study, business, editing and gaming, with models and specifications that may vary subject to availability. To choose with confidence, use the filters and always check the specific product page: screen size, resolution, panel type, refresh rate (Hz), connections, ergonomics, condition/grade and warranty.

How to choose your refurbished monitor

• Size (inches): 22–24" for a small desk; 27" as a balanced option; 32"+ if you want more workspace (depending on stock).
• Resolution: 1080p (basic), 1440p (sharper at 27"), 4K (maximum detail; requires more graphics power for gaming) (depending on model).
• Panel type: IPS usually prioritises colour/viewing angles; VA often stands out for contrast; TN may focus on response time (depending on the product page).
• Refresh rate (Hz) and response: for competitive gaming, look for higher refresh rates; for office use, 60–75 Hz is usually enough (depending on product).
• Connections: check HDMI/DisplayPort/USB-C (if applicable) and whether you need adapters for your PC/laptop.
• Ergonomics: height/tilt adjustment and VESA compatibility if you are going to use a monitor arm (depending on the product page).
• Colour and creative use: if you edit photo/video, prioritise panels and specifications geared towards colour when stated.
• Condition/Grade and accessories: check whether the stand, cables or extras are included; if not specified, consider them “subject to availability”.

Monitors by use (choose quickly)

For study and office (comfort and readability)

For documents, classes and remote work, a 24–27" monitor with suitable resolution and good ergonomics usually works very well. If you spend hours in front of the screen, consider height adjustment and a panel that is comfortable for reading (depending on the product page). If you use a laptop, check connections and adapters.

For gaming (smoothness and response)

For gaming, the goal is to match Hz and resolution with your GPU. If you play competitively, prioritise a high refresh rate. For AAA games, increasing resolution and screen size may be worthwhile. Always check the model’s actual refresh rate and the required inputs (HDMI/DP) to take advantage of it (depending on the product page).

For editing (photo, video and design)

If you edit, the key is a panel that performs well in colour and viewing angles, with specifications geared towards colour accuracy when available. Also check resolution and size for working with timelines or full-screen tools (depending on model).

For dual-screen setups and productivity

If you work with multiple windows, two monitors can be more efficient than one large monitor. Make sure your computer has enough outputs and the correct type (HDMI/DP/USB-C, depending on configuration). If not, you may need an adapter or dock (depending on your setup).

For small spaces (compact setup)

On smaller desks, a 22–24" monitor usually fits better. Prioritise stable stands and, if you want to save space, VESA compatibility for a monitor arm (depending on the product page).
