Refurbished VS Recertified?

[Jim Gravina]

Is there a difference?

For displays I would say no.

Usualy Recertified is used when something is used and is verified to be functional. Generaly I've only seen that term used for things like meters.

I dont think there is a difference, its just that refurbished doesnt sound that great so they came up with a new way of saying it.

HaHa yeah, that was my guess. Theres this site...

Where I want to get 2 of those LCDs, I am just worried about the "recertified" part. Should i go for it?

First make sure to thoroughly check the store return policy, especially on Refurbs.

Also check out the ratings for the store:

seems like a decent store, but if you dont know much about the store I would recommend reading some reviews from that website.

Great link, thanks! The price of $182 for the Dell 2007WFP seemed very low so I was kind of scared away. Maybe it will be a decent purchase if I decide to go for it.

I wonder what kind of monitor this is http://www.ascendtech.us/itemdesc.asp?ic=M24SYSKITUPGR&eq=&Tp= .... looks kinda shady. In the description it says This monitor has a wider viewing angle which allows users to view the screen from various positions without compromising image quality making people think that its not a TN but the specs say Viewing Angle 160°(H) / 160°(V) ....

Someone order it and tell me how it is!! =D
