Excellent Grade monitors exhibit very little to no signs of previous use, with minimal scuffing or abrasions on the housing and frame, and screens that are free from any imperfections, delivering an almost-new viewing experience. Good Grade monitors are fully tested and functional but may display body scratches or minor cosmetic imperfections, with screens potentially showing uneven light diffusion and moderate blemishes whilst remaining free from cracks.
