    Anyone have any experience with one of these? Particularly the 24" model. I want one, however I can't justify buying it for $900, so if I managed to get a refurb for a little cheaper I'd be more then happen.

    The warranty is pretty solid...can't you upgrade it to 3 years? What comes standard on the refurb? One year? For me to buy a refurb monitor it would have to be a LOT cheaper.

    The refurbs from Apple will be like new so I personally think that there's nothing for you to worry about. Good luck. :)

    The 599 Apple LED ACD is an excellent deal. I ended up buying one this summer when the refurb price dropped. Well worth it and it looks like it is brand new. The only difference between refurbs and new displays is that the new displays have the special retail packaging.
