Looking for an ultra-wide monitor under $500

[flipstah]

Thanks peeps!

Bought the 34WQ73A-B and keep you all posted!

[msommers]

Good choice!

[flipstah]

Just got it today and holy shit I can’t tell it’s used

It’s so clean and barely anything. All the stickers were still on it!

Time to grab some speakers next. Thanks for the help; very gud deel

I don’t know to do cable management for this bad boy yet and right now it’s on “Vivid” mode. Pretty nice.

I don't think much of what appears on the warehouse deals side is actually used - I think majority is stuff thats mangled within the amazon system. I'm 100% sure they don't inspect they use some kind of formula to decide what damage based on external damage. My coffee maker arrived unopened (factory sealed) - no damage, the fancy ergonomic chair I grabbed - said lots of damage / missing parts - box was entirely destroyed, but it was actually all intact not a scratch/missing part to be found. Even my reboxed monitors I've grabbed nothing close to the damage 'assumed'.

Nice! I might look for an espresso machine with this method then.

nice, monitor looks great.

yeah I always check for the used section and got me some good deals in the past. only time it failed on me is when I bought a carpet cleaner for my parents and it didnt come with charger. had to return it, supposedly used items have a restocking fee but i complained and they waved the fee.

Cheap velcro straps on Amazon should do the trick for ya.

Do used items on Amazon carry the same factory warranty as new?

Time for a monitor arm with integrated cable management.

Have no idea about the warranty so I looked at my order receipt and it sent me in the loop about it's independent to the vendor, but the vendor was 'Amazon Warehouse' so I'd say it's final sale past 30 day return window. Unless you hit up LG for warranty claims.

Is that a thing? Ooo.

Also what's the window management app to download if I want to split windows more than halves? It's pretty big 50/50 right now but definitely not as big as two monitors.

[msommers]

True a monitor arm would be a great addition and remove the need for the stand too.

Most monitors have a standard VESA 100x100 mount on the back. Check PrimeCables for a cheap one that should do the trick, just keep an eye on the weight limits.

Oh awesome; I'll check out PowerToys! I just want 3-split and not 2-split.

Yeah Mac has window management already.

Go hunt in foam for these clips? The stands look the same I'd expect they're included with yours too...

@flipstah is such an inspiring individual, I ended up ordering a couple of the 34WN750's myself to replace my four 24" Dell Ultrasharps. First one arrived today from Richmond, second one should be coming in a couple days from Ontario. Both were also Amazon Warehouse Deals.

I think this first one is more "damaged packaging" than "used" cause it looks like it was just missing the outer box with all the words and pictures. Even the manual, cables, and accessories are still sealed in its original packaging.



I can't wait until the second one comes so I can reclaim some desk space and reduce the number of cables.

[flipstah]

Mine was missing the clip and the manual
