I'm not sure why this has a negative deal score. It's a $1,200 monitor with excellent reviews and specs at a huge discount. Sure it's a refurb, but Dell stands behind all their refurbs.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank Lomic

GSync really isn't an advantage for most people, and the GSync version has an additional point of failure/annoyance (louder fan on the GSync module). The refurbs Dell sends out under warranty on DW/DWF notoriously have problems, so you might be stuck in exchange hell for a while if you start from there.

Also 90 day warranty refurb vs 3 year warranty new. Pretty important on gen 1 QD-OLED as a PC monitor.

The DWF has been 899.99 list price for the last several months, and has spiked a bit post-holiday season. It'll almost certainly drop back to 899 soon, and when you combine Dell.com cash back (typically 10-16%), as well as credit card offers often available on Dell.com (non-outlet) you can very likely get a brand new DWF for $729 or less. Gen 2 QD-OLED should be coming out in a few months in this form factor, which will also result in more sales on Gen 1.

I'd say that's why this is getting thumbs down.
