EDIT: Holy mackeral a Dell ultrasharp 30" with 2560x1600 res. for $899
That's more or less the going rate on eBay, slightly more but recently 2 brand new ones went for $899 each. Amazing how much these have come down in price.

Refurb Monitor = Dead pixel city. Check you manufacturer's policy.
Good deal, jumped on the Ultrasharp 24. Was craving that 27 to be a little different than my friends, but $700+ is too much to justify. Be sure to take advantage of the free standard shipping. Checked eBay, new they were going for $550 + $50 ship.

FYI have been looking for a good M-PVA 24-inch panel for a long time. The weak dollar has caused these nice panels to go up in price. You can get a 24-inch tn+film LCD for cheaper but the Ultrasharps are much better quality.

I've never had any dead pixel problems with refurbs. But then again i've never had any dead pixel problems with new monitors so maybe i'm just a lucksack.
tyrone3971 said: Refurb Monitor = Dead pixel city. Check you manufacturer's policy.Are they really? I would think the first thing they'd do would be replace the panel, since that's most likely why they're refurbs in the first place.
I could be wrong. Anybody have any concrete information on what Dell does to their refurb panels? What's Dell's dead pixel policy? What warrantl do they offer on rerurb panels?
This deal is either hot or ice cold depending on those answers. For now, I think it's cold. No details means they are hiding something.
The S2409W is somewhat comprable to the E248WFP which is $299 refurbished. The highly discussed 2408WFP is a higher grade of flat panel.
Thanks. I'm thinking HDMI and the warranty worth $50 but will consider the E248WFP.

Which means very likely you are going to get one and you have to suck it up because you accepted the policy StrawManArg said: People freak out because the refurb POLICY allows for a certain number of blown pixels.
In reality I've gotten three refurb LCDs and I haven't gotten a blown pixel on any one of them.
I guess if you get unlucky and get one you have no recourse. But it doesn't mean you automatically are going to have some.

For general use (internet, email, office etc.) the S2409W is indeed a better deal. However, those who are concerned with image quality, viewing angle, and accurate color reproduction will opt for the 2409. It has a better panel (S2409W is the lesser TN panel) and costs more for that very reason.
It wouldn't be a refurb if the existing problem (most likely dead pixels) are still there.

Actually, it can. The refurbed 20" panel Dell sent me as a replacement has a STUCK pixel. Remember, 'up to' a certain amount of dead pixels is considered acceptable.
is the 2408WFP worth it? it has the Samsung S-PVA panel. so no TN

I bought a Refurbished Dell E198WFP 19" Wide Screen Flat Panel Monitor though this sale. It came today. I don't see any blown pixels. I'm happy with the purchase.

Bought refub E248WFP 24". It came today. I love the size of this LCD. It has problem - sometimes colors are corrupted, I checked with DVI and VGA cables - in both cases issue still persist. I discovered if I press the center of the back size - colors are fixed. I'll request replacement or return tomorrow. For now I think that its better to request money return and buy a new one with warranty for 90$ more (329$+taxes+20$ shipping). It gets to work OK after half day passed. I'll really miss this LCD for the period when I'll return/replace it. UPDATE: I left the monitor to work for all night, today when I came to office it is working good without problems. I've tried to make to recreate problem by pressing everywhere on backside - but today it works just fine. I'll wait for one more day - to see how it will work.
