What's it worth
The displays we buy, priced on merit
We buy the displays Apple sold alongside its Macs — its own Thunderbolt Display and the LG UltraFine partner monitors it offered after that line ended. Condition of the panel is what moves the price.
LG UltraFine 5K2016 – 2022
The 27″ 5120×2880 monitor Apple sold as its recommended Mac display — Thunderbolt 3, MacBook charging built in. Strongest demand of the three.
LG UltraFine 4K2016 – 2022
The smaller UltraFine — 21.5″ and later 23.7″ versions, USB-C/Thunderbolt with MacBook charging.
Apple Thunderbolt Display 27″2011 – 2016
Apple's own 2560×1440 aluminium display with the built-in MagSafe charger and Thunderbolt dock — the last monitor Apple made before the Studio Display.
These three are what we buy as standard. Got a Studio Display, Pro Display XDR, or an older Cinema Display? Check with us here — the range we buy does change.

Getting the most for it
What actually moves your display quote
With a monitor, it's almost all about the panel. Describe it accurately and the price you're quoted is the price you're paid.
Panel condition
Dead pixels, bright spots, image retention, or pressure marks are what matter most — check your screen on a plain white and plain black background before quoting, and tell us anything you find.
Glass & casing
Scratches on the glass move the quote more than marks on the aluminium. Light wear on the stand and casing is expected and fine — see our grading guide.
Cables & power
Include the display's power lead and its Thunderbolt or USB-C cable — missing cables mean a deduction for replacements. On the UltraFines the right cable matters, as they're picky about spec.
Original box
More valuable here than for any other product we buy — a display-shaped box with its foam is the safest way to ship a big glass panel. Tell us in the quote form if you have it.

Display FAQ
Questions sellers actually ask
Q.Do you buy the Apple Studio Display or Pro Display XDR?
Not as standard at the moment — we buy the three models listed above. If you've got a Studio Display, Pro Display XDR, or an older Cinema Display, check with us here, as the range we buy does change.
Q.Why do you buy LG monitors? I thought you were Apple specialists.
The LG UltraFine 4K and 5K were the displays Apple itself sold and recommended for Macs between 2016 and 2022, after its own Thunderbolt Display was discontinued. They were designed with Apple for the Mac — so they're part of the Apple ecosystem we deal in.
Q.How do I safely ship a 27″ monitor?
Collection is by insured DPD courier with packaging suitable for a display, free of charge. If you still have the original box and foam, that's the ideal option. Either way the insurance covers it door to door.
Q.My display has a dead pixel or a mark — will you still buy it?
Usually, yes — describe it accurately in the quote form and the price accounts for it. Check the screen on a plain white and a plain black background before quoting, so nothing surprises either of us on arrival.
Q.I've lost the cables — is that a problem?
We'll still buy it. Missing power or Thunderbolt/USB-C cables mean a deduction for replacements — tell us what's included when you quote and the figure will be accurate first time.
Q.Is there any data to worry about on a display?
No — displays don't store personal data, so there's nothing to erase. Just unplug it, pack it, and you're done. (If you're also selling the Mac it was attached to, that machine does need signing out and wiping — see our Mac pages.)
Q.How quickly do I get paid?
We aim to pay within 48 hours of your display arriving and being checked, by bank transfer or PayPal — your choice.
