    I've kinda wanted to get a 30 inch monitor for my PC, and Dell's official site has this for nearly $1400, but this site has it for $700...too good to be true? Has anyone ever bought from these guys before?

    I was thinking about selling my Samsung 22 inch and using that money towards this one, and at a price like 50% off, it seems like a steal...but I'm not sure. I don't really know if I want to try Ebay on something like this, either. Maybe if it was from an Ebay store, and the seller had a lot of good feedback.

    Its refurbished, just as a fair warning.

    Oh, ok. So, does that mean it could come with loads of dead pixels and stuff?

    I don't get Dell, anyway, this thing was like $1099 just a few weeks ago, now its $1299!

    Dell prices change from day to day really. Best to wait until its lower then the day before, then use the countless coupons on the net.

    Refurbished usually means itll be fine, but its not new, and it doesnt say 'Factory Refurbished' so they (the selling company) could have fixed it themselves. Who knows :p Im not reading into the website too much so. Really, the best idea is to do what I said before, wait til the price is low, then use the countless coupons. I know I got hundreds off my monitor, which I love.

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001098R

    I thought Newegg deactivated this item, but its back on the site for $899!!

    I'm definitely going to get this instead, it seems like a really great deal for a 30 inch monitor, and I'm already familiar with Samsung's stuff.

    EDIT: I realized a while back that this said Open box, I really am antsy about buying it from them now...that might mean it got returned because it was dead pixel city. *Sigh*

    900$ for a moniter? I thought I was splurging by looking at 300$ ones!

    Its a 30 inch one with a 2560 by 1600 resolution...$900 with those specs is a great deal.

    I don't know if I want to risk spending that much on an open box one though.
