1) I'm considering purchasing a refurbished NEC 24" LCD. I was wondering what you all thought about purchasing a factory refurbished monitor from online (not from NEC directly)? It carries the same factory warranty as a new one, but I guess it's a bit of human nature to be wary of buying something 'used'. Thanks for your advice.

2) Also considering an open box (unused) one from ebay. Anyone know what NEC's (or most manufacturer's) warranty policy is for purchasing an online open-box item? Will the standard warranty apply?

Thanks in advance!
 
I think buying a refurb from a reputable place is fine - I mean at least you know monitor was looked at before sale. I only buy NEC's and I once had 3 serioulsy buggered new displays in a row. I bought a open box NEC and it was perfect (dont recall the warranty policy but at least an open box can be returned without the restock etc). Buying a monitor is a headache prone adventure I have no formulas for. New displays can stink and a refurb could shine.
