Hi,

I recently decided I need to upgrade my SyncMaster 955DF with a new LCD screen, my desk just isn't big enough with my huge monitor sitting on it.

I buy just about everything from newegg, and while I was looking for information on which LCD to buy, I came across the Samsun 214T. Now I NEED it. :rolleyes:

BTW anyone needing some solid info on LCDs, check this anand thread out.

The price for a new 214T is just a bit more than I can stomach, no matter how nice it is. However, newegg offers refurbed 214's at a much more reasonable price IMO. They don't come with drivers, a manul, or a DVI or VGA cord.

My big questions are these:
  • Are refurbed LCD's a dangerous purchase?
  • Have any of you bought refurbed LCD's?
  • How was your experience with them?

I am really more worried that I will get a monitor from FedEx and spend the next 3 or 4 weeks struggling with it and finally sending it back to newegg. They are a great company, but I'm still a bit worried about refurbs.

Any help you could offer would be great, thanks.
