This was my main monitor but I've switched over because it isn't as bright as I might like it.
It's very possible this monitor's backlight has gotten dimmer with age. You can still see everything on the screen but be aware it's very possibly showing it's age.
It's also possible it was never very bright to begin with, but it wasn't until recently that I noticed the brightness wasn't living up to my other monitors or my standards.
I'm not sure if I owned this monitor new, but it has NEVER been dropped, and has ZERO damage - including no dead pixels. I've always felt Samsung monitors are champs and I've owned three of them with no issues.
I can include a power cable and HDMI cable.
Also as you can see from the photos, underneath the bottom of the monitor, on the frame there is some separation, and this may have happened naturally or has always been there. It does NOT affect the function of the monitor.
It comes with its base. There are also some scratches and wear on the base because of setting things on there.
I find that monitors like this are good if you have a multiple monitor setup where you just need an extra monitor for productivity.
