Can an used monitor broke my gpu or anything in my pc ?

[Ucan_101]

So im planning to just buy an used monitor, inviting my friend to help checking it since a 24 inch cost $57 ( or Rp 800.000 in indonesia ) with 1 month of warranty, offline store. 

 

My friend never have problem with used monitor, but i wonder if its okay to use used monitor. Will it broke my pc parts if something went wrong and is it worth the risk ? 

 

If not im planning to buy a viewsonic vX2476-smhd 75hz, ips. Cost $142 (Rp 2100.000) in offline store.

 

Or maybe lg mk400h with similiar price ( actually its arround $128 but because of shipping price since my city doesnt sell it, it become $142 too )

If it works fine, no. Shorts can always kill shit, wherever they are.

Nope it won't break your PC part.

You'll be fine, now worries

 

It's honestly better to go with a used 1080p 75hz solution as opposed to new, as you can get a wayyyy better deal for essentially the same thing. Honestly, with how cheap displays have become for high resolutions in recent year, I wouldn't pay more than $60 for a 1080p 75hz monitor in 2022 personally. 

 

Maybe that's the 4k snob in me talking since I switched to one recently for media and light gaming.

Worst case scenario, the monitor doesn't work

 

That or shorts exist, but that is very very rare, I wouldn't worry about that at all.

No you're right. Only exception being high color accuracy displays.
