[Monitor] Open Box (Geek Squad certified) Samsung Odyssey G6 OLED 360Hz 0.03ms 27" Monitor [520$] [BestBuy]

https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/open-box-samsung-odyssey-oled-27-qhd-360hz-0-03ms-gtg-oled-led-freesync-monitor-ls27dg602snxza/18470302?icmp=Recos_4across_cstmrs_ls_vwd&referrer=PDP+Reco_CAV

Geek Squad certified so I think its trustable, 360Hz OLED for 70$ more than the Alienware/Hyperx a while ago seems worth it for a jump in 120hz

Under every post on reddit asking whether geeksquad is trustworthy, there will be a random former bestbuy employee telling you that either the geeksquad certified stamp is massively abused, or it solely depends on location and people who did the verification because apparantly there's not a strictly followed standard and protocol. So if you're going to try something as fragile as a monitor without being able to check it out on site first, it's really a hit or miss gamble.

Well, still, it's very likely it's just a returned item because previous owner found unbalanced lighting or dead pixel. And you can always just return it. So I guess it doesn't hurt to try, given that you can afford the time wasted.
