Hello
Im using for 5 years now BenQ GW2270H monitor as my main display,its 21.5 1920x1080p with VA panel but i want to upgrade because its small,bad for gaming,and the viewing angles are terrible
I got an offer,give my benq + small cash for used HP 27q 2560x1440p 60Hz Free sync monitor.

Problem is that this HP have some little scratches on the plastics and yellowish mark that is not big but its presented on the display (top center)
Also on official HP site says that this monitor is IPS panel,but on forums,reviews,buying sites its listed as TN panel monitor.......
https://support.hp.com/ca-en/document/c05962026 - LISTED AS IPS
https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/hp/27q -LISTED AS IPS
https://devicelist.best/en/hp-27q-3fv90aa/ -LISTED AS TN
https://media.flixcar.com/f360cdn/HP-3501970993-c06080669.pdf - LISTED AS TN
The model that im looking to buy is 3FV90AA

Is this monitor IPS or TN panel,or there are both versions ?
Can the yellowish mark expand over time ?
Is this a good deal
Thank you for your time.

Very likely that there are variations for the same model of monitor.

I would stay away from something that you're doubtful on. Also, buying used often entails the person selling not to be 100& honest in order to get rid of something that they themselves don't want.

My 2 cents, though.

Can the burnt mark spread over time or not ?
Its really cheap for that kind of monitor specs.......
