Deal Details
VIPOUTLET on E-bay has the MSI MPG 491CQP OLED 49" ultrawide gaming monitor for $599.40. It's listed as open box, but the listing says it is NEW DAMAGED BOX (see attached screenshot). It is E-bay certified open box and comes with a 1-year warranty from E-bay. I also had a $50 coupon if I paid with Klarna (YMMV). I used the 0% APR option. My OTD price was $585.

I got one of these new from Sam's Club for ~$679 in late August. The curve is gentle, the contrast and colors are amazing. I use it for productivity/video editing/Photoshop.

1800R curve.
5120x1440 dual QHD / 32:9 aspect ratio
144Hz refresh rate
.03ms GtG response time
250 nits brightness
1.5MM:1 contrast ratio
HDR capable
Anti-reflection (anti-glare coating)

1x display port 1.4a
2x HDM 2.1
1x USB-C
2x USB 2 (A)
1x USB 2 (B)

Adaptive Sync / KVM support / OLED Care 2.0 / Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture

certified open box is a fancy way of saying used and abused!

If you read the listing or the screenshot I provided, it says it's brand new and never been used. Scuffed/damaged box that MAY have been repackaged.

Agree with you but I think if you put Open Box in the title as well it will help.

I originally did... then when I later saw the note about it being new/unused, I went back and changed it. I've got both in the copy. I'll change the headline to say NEW / SCUFFED BOX or something... because they suggest that it isn't even open box.

sorry but there are just way too many discrpencies in the listing. the ebay ad says Allstate warranty is included which is hell to deal with btw, all offshore people who will make you talk to four different departments before even close to allowing it to get repaired.

then at the bottom it says "A 90-day Warranty is included for free with every product on VIPOUTLET. Yup, we are confident in our refurbishment." you cannot claim a brand new product then mention refurbishment. this is why you cannot trust ebay sellers!

if this deal was at bestbuy or walmart it would sell out in seconds but the death of SD will be all these open box ebay deals!

I have had good experiences with VIP outlet in the past on ebay. I wouldn't be worried.

It's actually an official ebay designation backed by their policies: https://www.ebay.com/sellercenter...d-open-box

96.9% approval on ebay is pretty much 69% approval. I wouldnt risk 600 dollars for a sketchy listing like this.

Of the 3 people I know with a curved ultrawide monitor, 3 of them regret it and said they wish they had just done a more traditional two monitor setup instead.

Allstate warranty is amazing. I've had multiple claims zero issues.
