I've always looked on refurbs as the best of both worlds... one hand is the
lower price, the other is that the unit has already failed in the field (or
been returned for whatever reason) and the factory has had to not only fix it
but make sure it passes even more rigorous tests than the new units coming off
the line, so it's less prone to fail... the one time I had a problem with a
factory refurb was a Mitsubishi monitor, the red gun failed, and they sent me a
brand new latest and greatest model since they no longer made the one I had
bought... not a bad deal...
