I am after a large monitor with lots of pixels for work duty. The ACD 27" resolution is a dream - 2560x1440. Looks like all monitors with that resolution are around that range, $ wise.

Im having a bit of a problem justifying spending $900 on a refurb 27". Just wondering if I am overlooking something.

Other choice is to go for a 1920x1200 monitor but knowing that there are monitors with 25% more pixels available, that is more attractive. I'd like to see if a ~$500 2560x1440 is out there. I don't care about the size of the monitor itself, just the resolution.
 
I think I should update this post... the refurb 24" popped up in the store this morning and I decided to snag it up. $630 shipped seems pretty good, i'll be sure to grab applecare for it.
