What is Generally Covered on a Limited Warranty for a Used Computer Monitor
?
There has been a lot written about the warranties applicable when purchasing refurbished desktop computers but a lot of consumers aren't as in tuned to the monitor itself. This article focuses on the monitor's limited warranty when purchasing a used model.
There are still many perks available for a used monitor. Generally speaking next business day warranty service can be fulfilled if the supplier has a direct replacement program. Depending on the supplier they will often respond onsite, at your location within 24 business hours. Response time can be longer depending on where you live.
Most often these limited warranties have options that can include an independent feature for 3 years parts, labor, and service. Generally speaking you will be required to use an authorized service provider. Often times the used monitor attached to your new purchase will have or hold a separate warranty condition. You can always upgrade the warranty before purchase. This will take some time with the seller to get an answer.
Other areas that you will definitely need to be aware of for the warranty to hold include that the proof of purchase is on your person for verification purchases. Be aware that if you have a parts only replacement warranty that any defective parts will be provided free of charge during the period that the warranty is applicable. Usually this type of warranty does not include labor.
Of course, any misrepresentation of the warranty or neglect shown as the cause of damage will void most limited warranties on used computer monitors.
The best piece of advice to take heed is to make sure you purchase your monitor and computer from one of the major online retailers. The fact is that if you're looking for desktop computer deals in town you are going to pay more period. The warranties tend not to be as solid nor are they the same warranties as new computers like the big manufacturers are supplying now days. So consider yourself forewarned that if you shop locally not only are the computers generally not as well checked and tested but you are going to pay more for a worse warranty.
