How much is a used monitor worth?
A used monitor in good condition keeps about 28% of its original price at 3 years on this calculator's curve. If yours cost $300 new, that works out to roughly $60–$110 as a realistic asking range, with fair market around $85. Use the calculator above to adjust for your exact age, condition, and brand tier.
How do I check a monitor for dead pixels before selling?
Display full-screen solid red, green, blue, white, and black (plenty of free browser tools do this) and look closely at each. Photograph the white and black screens for the listing — it preempts the first question every monitor buyer asks and justifies your condition tier.
Is a basic office monitor worth selling?
If it works flawlessly, yes — students and home-office setups absorb cheap second monitors constantly. But price realistically: basic 1080p 60 Hz panels sit near the bottom of the curve, and once fair value dips under $20, free stuff clears your desk faster.
Should I sell my monitor before a long-distance move?
Full-service long-distance movers effectively charge about $0.50–$0.80 per pound. At roughly 12 lb, moving a monitor adds about $5–$10 to the bill — if that is more than its resale value, sell it before moving day and rebuy at your destination.
