Thanks. I'm usually not quick to RMA, so if it's not unbearable, I'll be happy with it, especially with the price.

I just purchased a refurb Acer XB270HU from newegg for about $490 because I thought it was a good deal. I looked at the reviews, and it looks like many people have been having problems with backlight bleeding, dead pixels, etc. I know this monitor is much more expensive brand new, and I couldn't pass up a 1440p 144Hz IPS 27" G-Sync monitor at this price so I took a chance anyway. Besides, I believe games would look awesome on this with my Gigabyte Xtreme 980ti if I get lucky and get one without any issues. Have any of you ever purchased this monitor refurbished, or any other refurbished monitor from newegg? What were your experiences?
