How good are the "fair" monitors, typically? I suppose there's not much risk since these should be covered by Best Buy's extended holiday return period so I would have two months to check for burn-in and any weirdness on these monitors, right?

I have gotten practically new looking items that are fair, and some beat up stuff marked as excellent. If you have one available for pickup near you, it's easier to show up take a look and have them plug it into the wall. Then pay. I typically do that with large item's like TV's to not waste my time lugging it back.

The fair I bought was apparently a store demo with 3200 power on hours. It came wrapped in bubble wrap and included all cables. I didn't notice burn in but returned it anyway.

I'll eventually be looking for a good monitor. Are these Swift and Strix ASUS ROGs considered the best of the best for OLED gaming monitors right now?

I'd likely be looking at a 32" model, so curious how these compare to the other Samsung and LG 32-34" OLED monitors floating around with the $1000-1200 tag. Guess it depends on if I want flat or curved?

I purchased a excellent condition model and it did not come
With all The accessories. So I retuned it on the spot. Something to look out for.

Mine had 865 hours and was essentially brand new. No box. No power cable. Great panel.

I bought a Good one last week and the actual monitor itself is pretty flawless. It only came with the power cable though.

That's a lot of hours, not really essentially brand new. I guess you mean no physical damage but still.

Not really. Other users reported 3k hours on.

It's basically been on for a month straight. 90 days if you say 8 hours a day.
