What is a refurbished device?
A refurbished device is a pre-owned item that has been restored to meet high-quality standards. At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items. We meticulously clean, test, and assess each device, replacing worn parts with high-quality components.
Unlike used items, which lack guarantees and rely solely on the seller's word regarding condition, refurbished devices come with assurance of quality and reliability.

A certified refurbished Philips 226V3L 21.5-inch widescreen monitor with a Full HD 1920x1080 LED-backlit panel and both VGA and DVI inputs. A dependable everyday office display, backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.
The 226V3L sits in a useful spot: it is an inexpensive monitor, but unlike most cheap refurbished screens it is genuinely Full HD. That difference shows up every day — more visible rows in a spreadsheet, two documents side by side without shrinking the text, and web pages that fit properly rather than forcing you to scroll.
At 21.5 inches it suits a standard desk without dominating it, which makes it a sensible choice for back-office workstations, reception counters and home offices. The dual VGA and DVI inputs mean it will connect to essentially anything in a mixed fleet, including older desktops that never had HDMI or DisplayPort.
Being a V-line model, this is a straightforward display rather than a premium one. The stand adjusts for tilt but not height, swivel or pivot, and the panel is aimed at office productivity rather than colour-critical creative work. For general business use at this price, that trade is an easy one to make.

Is this monitor really Full HD?
Yes. The 226V3L has a native 1920x1080 panel, not the 1366x768 resolution found on many budget monitors of this age.
What video inputs does it have?
VGA (D-Sub) and DVI-D. Laptops with only HDMI or USB-C output will need a suitable adapter or cable.
Does the stand adjust for height?
No. The 226V3L stand adjusts for tilt only. If you need height, swivel or pivot adjustment, look at our business-series monitors instead.
Is a cable included?
Units are supplied as tested hardware. A VGA or DVI cable may be required — please check the listing details or ask before ordering.
What is SmartContrast?
A Philips feature that analyses on-screen content and adjusts backlight intensity to enhance contrast, which helps with darker images and video.
What is the difference between Excellent and Good?
Both are fully tested with no dead pixels. Excellent units show minimal cosmetic marks; Good units show light wear on the bezel, housing or stand.
