Dell 6K U3224KB Monitor

[EugW]

Hi, I might be able to get this monitor for £1500 as a returned unit. It does have two dead pixels though. RRP in the UK is approx £2140 (or approx 1900 with a discount).

What are people's thoughts? Too risky for one with two dead pixels? It would be used for work (Teams, Excel etc) and photo editing.

Some people in Europe have been able to get the brand new LG 6K 6144x3456 UltraFine evo 31.5” display with Thunderbolt 5 for €1800 (or €1500 + 20% VAT), as a promotional launch price. Not sure what the pricing after promotions is in the UK. That seems like a MUCH better deal than a used Dell with dead pixels.

It really depends on where those two dead pixels are -- on the the outer most edge will be less noticeable than the middle of the screen with you staring right at it.

That said, I'd skip. I have no desire to see if more pixels fail (maybe it was a bad run) and those two pixels would drive me nuts.

1500 pounds and 2 dead pixels? I wouldn't take it! Too expensive!
