There is nothing in their published policy saying this. This is the only thing I see, which states it is the manufacturer's policy which determines what is or is not defective. If you are correct, then I would certainly consider using them. I have sent them a request for clarification on this.
Other than shipping damage all products perceived as defective, must be considered to be defective by the individual manufacture. Please contact the manufacturer directly to review their specific policies and procedures. Defective Products: When products are deemed defective by the manufacturer you are required to call a Product Specialist at Monitor Outlet, Inc.and e-mail this information to and us with the manufacturers case number and contact.
ikarinokami, I owe you an apology and a thank you for the tip on these guys.
I spoke with a very helpful guy named Jared, who while not confirming an absolute policy of one dead pixel, was kind enough to explain they have a very good relationship with NEC and in most cases can arrange for replacements even with one bad pixel, particularly if they are in a high visibility area.
He was very polite, seemed very sincere, and best of all had an SV version in stock at a pretty decent price. Hopefully when I receive my new monitor next week, I won't have to take him up on it.

My 2490 review is here for anyone interested:

If anyone wants to see something else, I will do what I can to add it.

Other than that. Welcome to the club. The A-TW IPS LCDs have unmatched LCD image as far as I am concerned. If you can't be happy with one of these, you can't be happy with LCD. I hope OLEDs are ready when this one dies.
Snowdog,
Could you take a picture of a page of HardForum text, (this thread would be cool) from about 30 inches away?
As for the second comment, unfortunately, (because of price) I think that's how it's going to have to be for me. (that I won't be happy with any other LCD except for this one)

Not much point with my camera at that distance it grossly understates what you will see for quality of text. I have an old 4MP camera. At 30 inches the image of small text here is barely legible. Yet I can read the monitor out to about 6ft in real life on this size text. On top of that it can't match the contrast and grey scale separation of the monitors, the darks run together and the white is washed out.
All this will show is how bad my camera is.
Just canceled my order with provantage and ordered from Monitor Outlet (it only cost me about 20$ more than provantage) They called me to let me know they got one in stock. It should be here in 2-3 days. I am happy so far with their service. I will do an update (with pictures ect) when I get the monitor in. Praying to the no backlight bleed and dead pixel free "gods"!!!!!!
I have to wonder wtf Provantage is thinking.... Taking months to fill people's orders... It took Monitor Outlet 2 days to find one for me.

My 2490 came in this evening!
Initial impression:
I hooked it up this evening and it looks great!! The color quality blows my macbook pro's screen out of the water. Looking at it from 170 degree's looks much better than my laptop straight on. Whites are much whiter. It also is much nicer than my old dying 21 inch Nokia CRT.
No dead pixels. No defects that I can find!
Don't notice any lag when playing games.
Calibration made a noticeable difference (though mostly due to the change in gamma for 1.8 to 2.2)
I will post another thread with a more in-depth opinion on the monitor as well as a review of my experience with Monitor Outlet and Provantage as soon as I have a chance to use it a little more.
