I wonder if I'll be protected from bad pixels and such if I go with Newegg. Would Dell not help in that situation? (EDIT: Looks like the "Premium Panel Guarantee" is listed in the specs on newegg, that's good)
I have spoken with two different CSR at Dell. The only way to get the "Premium Panel Guarantee" is to buy the panel directly from Dell. Even if you do not buy from dell you still get the 3-year Limited Hardware Warranty and 3-year Advanced Exchange Service.
