So many people think that Computer Monitors are all the same, but really they are not. You cannot simply just go out a purchase a monitor and be done with it, especially if you have specific needs. Today we will be looking at a 23-inch widescreen monitor from Geeks.com which features 1920 x 1080 full HD resolution, a 5ms response time, HDMI input and integrated speakers. This display sells for just over $150, let’s see if it’s a good deal or not…

Packaging
As I said in the intro this display is from Geeks.com and it is refurbished. We have received many refurbished displays from Geeks.com and we haven’t had a single issue with any of them. So when you think of refurbished from Geeks.com, don’t like beat up. The display itself comes in a normal retail box.
Opening up the box the display is nicely protected by large pieces of Styrofoam. Inside you will find the 23-inch display, VGA cable, audio cable, power cable and instructions. I really do not like that there is not a HDMI cable included.
