2 pallettes of Dell LCD monitors going for $899 and &999 each. One pallet has 19 monitors and the other has 20. It says they almost all have a problem where they turn off automatically after a period of time. Not sure if it's an easy fix or not but if someone here has the know how to fix them you could end up with a great monitor and tons of ebay fodder.

Product Features http://www.pacificgeek.com/images/spacer.gifThese are returns from customers. All are intact. The screens are in great shape. Most power on but when left on for a couple of minutes or hours, shut off. All power adapters included. As is - NO warranty. 90% have some type of power problem. Most in original Dell box.The primary reason these were returned is due to the units being powered up and then shutting down after a period of time, sometimes minutes, hours or days.

Indeed, looks very nice for someone who knows how to fix the issue.
Kind of weird they have a "retail price" on there as well though :lol:
Does this mean dell doesn't want to take them back themselves (as these guys are selling RMA's)?

Sounds nice, unless the problem is unsolvable, but $600 for 20 LCDs is pretty cheap :roll: I'm not going to buy this tho : customs, money, space, shipping

Whoa, this can't be right. On a whim I checked the shipping cost... it listed. $4.99 for FedEx ground. :shock:

The turn-off issue at first sounds like something a simple firmware update could fix... but $1k is a bit much of a gamble, $5 shipping or not. I bet many of them have pixel issues, only about three of those monitors look to be current models.
