And allow me to put in my two cents on the subject of 'refurbished ' 
monitors. There's no such thing as a refurbished CRT tube, or LCD 
screen, they are sealed units. Accumulated 'burn time' is what 
really counts, so the best you can hope for is a monitor who's 
electronics failed prematurely, or perhaps was returned and 
reboxed,and the tube has some life left to it. IMHO, not a very good 
gamble. This is probably the last piece of equipment you should 
consider buying 'refurbished', regardless of brand.
