Are these scorch marks on this Cinema Display?

No, that does not appear to be scorched. Thats dust :). Scorching would be a lot darker and the edges wouldn't be rounded.

Those are scorch marks.
 
You can get the outer casing separated slightly to clean what you can but there is a screw or something behind the apple logo that holds it to the back. I didn't take the apple off but cleaned out dirt from the edges.
 
It does separate fully, that is, you can remove the inner grey plastic cover from the clear outer back. I have done that with mine to clean the dust accumulation.
 
I think there would be a brunt smell as well, if it were scorch marks. I've fried electronics before, and the smell is distinct! :)
 
Thanks guys. It's actually a monitor I'm looking to buy, so can't inspect it myself yet. Though seller's a bit vague with the description so I figured I'd ask just in case. Didn't want to buy a refurb that had at some point been cooked, lol.

If you define refurbishment on aesthetics alone, sure.

I used to work for a company which sold new/used/refurbished office telephone systems. Refurbished systems were the same internals as used, just cleaned, and with a warranty. There's really nothing to be done to refurbish a display. If they'd actually taken it apart to do anything, they'd have taken the time to clean the dirt out of the inside.
 
Well I'm sure that's fascinating but my question has been answered so this topic is no longer in need of responses.
