Excellent doesn't show a shipping button at all lol. Good and Fair do, but there the Shipping option says Unavailable. Oh well.

Worth it for Overwatch if I already have an LG 1440p glossy OLED 240hz? Can sell it for near this price

Depends on how serious you are with the game and if you can even push 480fps constantly.

I kinda just meant how does the screen quality and smoother refresh rate compare. I think I can hit high frame rates, maybe not 480hz but for this price it seems like it might be a good upgrade.

I mean it largely depends on what model you already have. But I will say that Open Box sales are ones where people return a purchase, since Best Buy is fairly strict about their return window there probably isn't a lot of hours on the monitor but there is something about it that they didn't like. It very well could be something as simple as they bought the monitor and they read all the stories about ads being forced and over reacted (or not) and returned the monitor, but it could also be issues with the panel itself, a number of people have mentioned pretty noticeable grey banding effects with LG monitors, there could be dead pixels, etc. Best Buy is going rate the quality of the monitor based on it's physical looks, if the screen is pristine and there's no marks on the frame it's going to get stamped as EXCELLENT. So the way I see it is you'd be essentially trading a monitor that you have that you absolutely know the condition of for something you don't know the condition of. To me that sounds more like a potential coin flip downgrade than an upgrade path.

But hey, you do you.
