YMMV (single open-box item, sold out when gone)
Micro Center Santa Clara has one open box ASUS TUF Gaming VG27WQ3B (Micro Center SKU 979807) for $135.96. It sits in Aisle 41 (Monitors) and is listed as open box ID 23699. The product page labels this unit INCOMPLETE: AS IS and notes that the remaining manufacturer warranty applies. Open box is in store only at the Santa Clara store.
Price check: the same monitor is $169.99 new at Newegg and $239.99 new at Micro Center and Best Buy, so this open box price is about 20 percent under the lowest current new price. It has sold new at Amazon for $149.99 before (November 2025), so weigh that history against the as is condition.
Inspect it in the store before you pay:
- INCOMPLETE means parts may be missing. A new box includes the monitor, DisplayPort cable, screwdriver and power cord. Confirm the stand and power cord are included at a minimum.
- Power it on and check for dead or stuck pixels, backlight bleed and any screen damage.
- The product page says this monitor may be returned within 30 days of purchase. Confirm the return terms for an open box AS IS unit at the register before buying.
