Is a BenQ RL2460HT Worth it For $70?

[Giraffackle]

Hey guys, first time on this forum in like a year... So here's the deal. My friend has a BenQ RL2460HT monitor which is a pretty nice monitor, goes for around $200 new on Newegg. I currently have a 24" and a 22" and it'd be nice to have two 24" monitors. He is offering it to me for $70 and told me that the only problem with it is that there is a small scratch on the middle of the display from when he was opening the box with a knife. I included some pictures showing the scratch so you guys can give your opinion. I have two questions. Should I go for it at that price, and is the scratch repairable in any way? Thanks!

 

Btw for those of you wondering, he told me the cat comes with it for free!

i would definatly get it, the scratch would be hard to find some sort of fix for tho, you might have to replace something(not 100% sure on monitor construction) but i would just live with it, its an otherwise good monitor

for $70, if its a secondary monitor then maybe ill consider it

 

as a main monitor that i will be staring at often, it'll bother me so much so i wouldnt bother getting it `-`

To be fair unless your looking like super close, you can hardly notice the scratch, and for 70 bucks not to shabby

I know some people say you can repair a monitor scratch it isn't too deep with an eraser, but it seems to have mixed results.

I feel like I would use it as a monitor just for gaming since it has a 1ms response time, and productivity on my other monitor which is slightly more color accurate.

I have a monitor that has a small scratch on the bottom left, and it's true that you can't really notice it, but I feel like it's different when it's in the center of the display. He told me that you can't even see it when it's on.
