24" LED in Refurb Store

I might go new, it is usually pretty easy to get some kind of discount at Apple, either EPP or student.
 
The education discount is $100 as well. So for $799 you can get new or refurb. I wonder if you get less of a chance of pixel problems with a refurb since its been looked at by Apple. Buying new in a store however lets you look the product over before taking it home.

how would you tell it has a pixel problem
and refurb is just as good as new, don't they change a casing if it's been damaged

I'd be more concerned about the panels and glass covers than the casing themselves.

There's been a lot of issues with the panels themselves (burnt pixels/sub-pixels, color imbalance) and dust behind the glass covers.
 
Definitely just go to an Apple Store if you have one nearby and buy it there. Tell them you want to open it up first and hook it up to check for bad pixels. I always do that when buying macbooks and imacs and they have no problem with that at all. Then just download Pixelcheck and run it and look carefully. :)
