Be careful with the IBM monitors at TD these days. They sell both "Factory Recertified" and "Refurbished". They have a different definition for both. Not all of the main descriptions for refurbs state that it is a refurb. Factory recertified is a better deal than their refurbished IMHO. I've purchased two of the IBM recertified monitors and have not had any problems. I would not touch their refurbs.
TigerDirect's Factory Recertified Definition"
These monitors are recertified by IBM. They are not used. These monitors have been returned to IBM for a number of reasons, i.e.: a customer refused shipment, returned the monitor without opening the box, or received the shipment in a damaged box. IBM completely recertifies these monitors?at their factory?and repacks them in brand new packaging. They are recertified to "as-brand-new" condition and pass quality control checks. They carry the full IBM one-year warranty. Why pay more? These monitors are in brand-new condition, with full factory certification?and you pocket the savings!
