Tempted by this -- it's a $500 monitor that's refurbed... any reason I should not?

I'm looking for 27, 1440p, gaming oriented which really just means minimal input lag and Freesync.

4k already have. don't want 32, 1440 cause pixel density probably not good for me. So this seems perfect bang for the buck, no dead pixel then gg

I bought 2 last time around for 212 each last time around. One of them has one dead pixel but it hasn't really annoyed me. The packaging they arrive in is very average lol. I was surprised it didn't get messed up. I'm actually picking up 2 more for work now.

Last time is $220. I was in for 2. One of them has HDR problem and burn in the screen. Still in RMA process.

Check the pictures for the burn-in.

Assuming it's your burn-in? Or it was already there when you got it? Guessing it burned in -- how long did it take for that to show if it was yours?

FYI, says deal is expired but still works

I ordered this 27" Monoprice Zero-G 2560x1440 1500R QHD 144Hz VA Curved Gaming Monitor @$179.99 on 7/02. Shipping is delayed so I've had time to 2nd guess my purchase & wanted to ask this brilliant collective a few questions, because I am not as smart as all of you:
I'm learning that the Monoprice is a VA monitor vs IPS & read up on that here [tomshardware.com].
❓Any opinions on returning that VA panel & going for an IPS panel like the one in this post to get a lower response time, brighter screen & better viewing angles?
❓How does this refurbished Acer compare to this 27" Acer Predator XB271HU WQHD 1440p 144Hz NVIDIA G-SYNC IPS Monitor @$290 [amazon.com]?

Also, that Monoprice monitor has none of the syncs, G-Sync, Free Sync, Kitchen Sync . . .
❓How much does that matter while gaming on a monitor like this?

I recently bought the Lenovo Legion 5i Pro Gen 6 Laptop, which has an 16.0" IPS panel (2560 x 1600, 165Hz, 500 nits, 3ms response, i7-11800H, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 8GB) & would like to upgrade my monitor to be a similar experience.

❓Any recommendations for a comparable monitor at a similar price point?
27" GIGABYTE G27Q 1440p IPS 144Hz 1ms FreeSync HDR400 Gaming Monitor @ $239.99
This 27" 1440p 144hz G-Sync LG 27GL83A-B QHD IPS 1ms NVIDIA G-SYNC @$250 [ksl.com] in my local classifieds?
Or this 27" Acer Gaming Monitor 1440p 144hz VG271U @$200 [ksl.com] in my local classifieds?
Or perhaps this 27" ASUS Tuf 1440p 165hz Gaming Monitor @$200 [ksl.com], also local?
