LG Monitors Resale Value

LG monitors: price by condition

Seller-declared grades, sterling with an approximate US dollar equivalent at £1 ≈ $1.33 (July 2026). What each grade means.

What holds its value across LG

• OLED televisions in working order, which are the panels the brand is known for and cost a great deal new
• Larger screen sizes, which are consistently harder to find used and hold value better
• Washing machines and fridges under five years old with a service history
• Soundbars with their subwoofer and remote, which are model-paired and useless apart

What pulls LG resale value down

• Screen burn-in on OLED panels, which shows as ghosting from static logos and menus and is permanent
• Panel faults on any television — banding, dead pixels, uneven backlight — which are not economically repairable
• Appliances with worn drum bearings, audible on the spin and rarely worth fixing
• Missing remotes and subwoofers, which are specific to the model and awkward to replace

Identifying and dating yours

1. The model and serial are on a label on the back or inside the door — photograph it, since specifications change yearly
2. Display a plain bright image and a plain dark one and photograph both, because that is how burn-in, banding and backlight faults actually show
3. Say whether the remote, stand and any paired subwoofer are included

What lifts any monitor, whatever the label

Monitors hold value reasonably well because panels last, and the range mostly reflects resolution and refresh rate rather than age.

• High refresh rates, which gaming buyers pay a premium for
• Higher resolutions and larger panel sizes
• A panel with no dead pixels or backlight bleed
• Original stand, power lead and video cables

And what pulls one down

• Dead or stuck pixels, which buyers check first
• Backlight bleed visible on dark screens
• Missing stand, which is model-specific and awkward to replace
• Older low-resolution panels

Working out what yours is worth

1. Display a full-screen black and a full-screen white image to find pixel faults
2. Note the exact resolution, refresh rate and panel size
3. Check the stand and all cables are present

What to state in the listing

• Screen size, resolution, refresh rate and panel type
• Available inputs: HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, USB-C
• Whether the stand and correct cable are included, and VESA compatibility
• Dead pixel count and any backlight bleed

Size, resolution and panel: “24in 1080p IPS Monitor, 75Hz, HDMI and DisplayPort”. Size and resolution are the primary filters. Say which inputs it has, since a buyer with a specific machine needs the right port.

Preparing and photographing it

1. Display full-screen white, black, red, green and blue and check for dead or stuck pixels.
2. Note the size, resolution, refresh rate and panel type from the menu or the rear label.
3. Find the stand, its screws and the correct cable, and check whether it is VESA compatible.

1. The monitor on, displaying a normal image, straight on
2. Full-screen white and full-screen black, evidencing the panel
3. The rear label with model number
4. The stand, cables and any bezel or screen mark

When it sells best, and handing it over

Steady with lifts in September and before Christmas. Larger and higher-resolution panels sell fastest.

Fragile without the original box. Collection with the monitor powered on is the safer route for both sides.

What buyers ask

How do I check an OLED television for burn-in?

Display a plain grey or white full-screen image and look for ghosting where a channel logo or menu bar used to sit. It is permanent, so photograph what you see.

Is a used washing machine worth it?

If it is recent and the history is known. Run a full spin and listen for rumbling — worn drum bearings are the common fault and rarely worth repairing.

How much is an LG monitor worth?

Roughly £42 to £231 depending on condition, against £40 to £220 for monitors generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.

What the fees would take elsewhere

At the mid-range £136 for an LG monitor, against what the commission marketplaces would deduct:

Seller-side rates verified 26 Jul 2026, percentages only — the per-order and processing charges those platforms add are excluded, so the real gap is wider.
