Benefits of buying a refurbished monitor
At Back Market, customers save up to 50% off compared to the price of new on certified refurbished monitor models. The best part is, you don't have to sacrifice performance quality in order to save money; all refurbished devices on our marketplace have been fully reconditioned, cleaned, inspected and tested to the same standards as a new one. This is the biggest difference between buying a used or second hand monitor compared to a refurbished one.
Buying a reconditioned monitor is also an environmentally friendly option. A refurbished monitor is often a second hand device that has been restored and updated to meet manufacturer standards, which means you'll be helping to keep old monitors out of our landfills, reduce electronic waste, and minimise your carbon footprint.
Where to find a cheap refurbished monitor?
If you're looking for cheaper monitor options and don't want to pay full price, you'll find the biggest selection, highest product quality and lowest prices on restored monitor models at Back Market. That's because we specialise specifically in refurbished tech and take the time to carefully vet every seller on our marketplace to ensure customers are getting reliable devices that perform like-new. We have several refurbed monitor in price ranges to fit almost anyone's budget.
Staying true to our brand, we're also a huge advocate for environmental change. In fact, at the beginning of 2023, we hit a milestone for preventing 1 million tons of carbon emission (CO2e) from entering the atmosphere. You can help contribute to a better circular economy when you shop monitor deals on our platform.
What to expect when buying a refurbished monitor?
If you're a first time refurbished buyer, you might not be sure what to expect from your purchase. First, understand that your monitor may have external cosmetic flaws depending on the condition you choose (Back Market offers devices of Fair, Good and Excellent quality). However, whatever the condition, any external blemishes will not affect the performance of your monitor and you can expect your device to perform as if it were newly opened directly from the store.
You should also be confident that your monitor is backed by a 1-year warranty, meaning in the rare case that any defects arise (outside of accidental damage) within 12 months of your delivery date, then you're entitled to your choice of a repair, replacement or reimbursement.

All monitor purchases on Back Market come with free standard shipping, a 1-year warranty, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. We want to make sure you can shop with confidence and find the best monitor for your needs at lower prices.
What monitor size is best for me?
Choose between different sizes: we currently offer desktop screens from 17 inches (43.18 cm) and 31 inches (78.74 cm). Depending on how much space you have at home or in the office, you can choose a suitable screen. The standard is 17 inches (approx. 43 centimeters), but it works better at the desk with a 22 inch (55.88 cm) PC monitor because the eye can see details better and has less effort to process the information. Full HD screens are mostly available from 24 inches (60.96 cm) and these are also recommended for gaming. If you work in video editing or as a graphic artist, we recommend a 31-inch (78.74 cm) screen, as there is space for several windows next to each other to work effectively.
Which monitor type is best for me?
LCD monitors are generally ideal as they are both energy efficient and easy to transport. This type of screen is often also found in laptops. However, the most modern type nowadays is the LED screen: they also consume little electricity and the resolution produced are of high quality. Unfortunately, these types of monitors are often the most expensive, but you can save up to 50% of the original price when buying a refurbished monitor from Back Market.
Should I choose a Full HD or 4K Ultra HD refurbished monitor?
HD monitors (1280 x 720 pixels) are now standard in the market, but this has been replaced by Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) in recent years. On top of that, there are now Ultra HD monitors with a resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels. Even HD monitors can be sufficient for the office, but if you watch Netflix with your PC monitors, then it is worth buying a Full HD monitor for better picture quality. 4K is worth it if you have a very powerful computer and like to play computer games like Destiny 2 or The Witcher 3, which definitely look good in 4K!
Second hand PC monitors: is it worth it?
Depending on the size of the screen and type, the prices for monitors can quickly become expensive. However, you can find used (and refurbished) PC monitors for up to 50% of their original price, so you can save money. Thanks to the 12-month extra guarantee and the 30-day right of return, buying a refurbished PC monitor is exactly the same as buying a new one. All devices are carefully checked and cleaned by experts, so that the product reaches you in optimal condition and you don't have to worry. If you are unsatisfied, you can simply send the monitor back to the retailer.
If you're looking for a used PC monitor, then you've come to the right place at Back Market!
