buying used 20.1 Dell monitors bad idea?

[heyyo2]

I think the retail price of the 2007 FP and 2001FP is around 469 dollars in the dell website. I see you can buy it for about 350 total on ebay brand new. I also see refurbished and used ones that probably cost a little less say in the 275 range.

Is saving 75 dollars not worth it if you can get it new? Like if it was 220 dollars used, i would certainly get it used but at what price you say it is worth it?

I am certainly not buying any samsung 204 because of the dead pixel problem= lot of ppl encounter.


thanks

LCD monitors dim a bit with time, and they don't last forever. I think the brighter images from new monitors are worth $75. It's up to you, though.

I brought a 2007FP off ebay and am very happy with it. if you are concerned about compenent quality you can ask for the model number and check it out online.

Get it new...you'll thank yourself in the long run.

Deffo get it new, you'll get a warranty which is good in case something goes wrong. Surely peace of mind is gotta be worth $75
