LCD Flat Panel Monitor Grading Table
How We Grade Our LCD Monitors
PCExchange specializes in the remarketing of Offlease, Used & Refurbished Personal Computers and Monitors. All New Refurbished Flat Panel LCD Monitors are refurbished by the manufacturer. All Used Grade A & B LCD Monitors are Refurbished in our own warehouse facility and undergo exhaustive testing to ensure a trouble free experience for you. Any mechanical or electronic part not meeting original standards is replaced. Scuffed, broken and scratched plastic parts are not replaced and are only Cosmetic flaws.
We try to accurately describe the condition of our used, off lease and refurbished Flat Panel Monitors so you know what to expect and will not be disappointed. If we have inaccurately described any of our LCD's we will be happy to exchange it for a different Monitor. We want you to be satisfied with your purchase and the grading system is in place to allow you to make an informed decision.
Although most of our Used, Off lease & Refurbished Flat Panel LCD's are are in good to excellent condition some may have cosmetic or screen issues. The following table will indicate the extent of issue you can expect as compared with the "Grade" on the products web page.
