I just looked, and apparently the LCD I want (normally $350) has an open box available for $260. How reliable are these items? Is it worth whatever risk there may be?
 
You'll ne buying an item that someone else had trouble with and returned to newegg. It might be perfectly fine, but not worth the risk in the case of an LCD monitor.
 
possibly has dead pixels (why the first person returned it) and you would be stuck with them if it was less than 8 (neweggs policy on monitors).
 
Less than 8??? that sounds like a terrible policy. Poor sap who ends up with a monitor with 6 or 7 dead pixels :(

I bought an Acer locally and it took 3 RMA's to get one without a single dead pixel, they took it back everytime for one dead pixel. I couldn't live with dead pixels, they're so annoying.
 
For LCD purchases I highly recommend going w/ http://www.Tigerdirect.com.

They have a "no questions asked" unlimited return policy on LCDs for at least the first 30 days.

I recently purchased a stack of LCDs from newegg, and had 4 bad ones, 3 of which I couldn't return except to the manufacturer. It totally sucked, and because of this I won't be buying LCDs from the egg until they change their horrible policy. A company that generally caters to enthusiasts that demand the best and are willing to pay for the better models of products should never have such a policy.

I second that, I buy everything off Tigerdirect.ca, I would never want to be stuck with dead pixels because of a terrible policy.
 
I buy OpenBox at Newegg all the time and only once did something not work. Newegg took it back and gave me my money back.

BUT for LCDs I go to Costco (excellent return policy)
 
i bought a open box l90d+ last year from newegg and it has worked flawlessly, no dead pixels, and it was alot cheaper than the new one
