hey,
I bought a refurb 2007FPW. It had one dead pixel, but their exchange terms are awesome, so I just told them there was a dead pixel on the first one and they sent me a replacement.
I'm using the second refurb monitor right now, and its awesome.
The monitor has the exact same warranty as the new monitor, and you can return the monitor within the first 21 days if you have any problem with it.
