It should be fine. Quite a saving for an open box - hopefully the monitor is fine though

£275 for a used monitor

£323 actually.
Yes, i'm nervous. I'm away from home at the moment fixing another PC but I know it's waiting for me at home so I can't wait to get there and rip the box open.
If it's really bad it'll go back under the DSR, if not i've got myself the best 24" screen on the market for £130 under the new price. Not bad.

I'd be amused if it was mine
I sent it back 1-2 months ago though so don't know how long it takes for them to become B grade.

From what has been said previously about OcUK's 'B grade stock' they generally just have packaging that has been damaged or opened and a manual, driver CD or cable might be missing. The product itself is usually 'as new' but I'm sure if it's not it will become obvious and you will be within your rights to return if you're unhappy about something.
I can't see anything wrong with it. All cables, CDs, etc. are there and the screen itself is gorgeous, needs calibrating something awful but it works, no dead pixels as far as I can see.
Worst bit is that the screen is quite grubby, needs some screen cleaner. Oh, and it has a mysterious "rattle" - like something has broken inside. But then it works fine?
Excuse the quality.

What revision is it?

Pull the tab out on the left hand side and it will say.

Whaaaa.......this monitor is more expensive NOW then it was last year and the now price is on offer! You would think with the £:$ exchange rate working in our (British) favour the price would have gone down not to mention technology is meant to get cheaper over time anyway.

So it's not from their brand new stock but it's probably just that it's been lying about the warehouse for a bit. Not that this matters if you are happy with it (as that's the main thing), but could you tell me what the hours of use of the service menu states?
If I remember correctly you can access the service menu by turning the monitor off, then activating the second and fourth button (from the top) whilst also activating the power button. The LEDs should start lighting up - once they are all on activate the top button and hopefully that should work. I say "activate" because the buttons are of course just touch sensors. I'm not sure if that's the correct combination either - it's been a while.
should've got one last year!

It's well used then...

I cannot get the service menu up... I seem to be doing exactly as it says.
Depends how you define "well used". For me, that's less than a week's use. Considering how much they go for second hand, £325 for a week old one is a steal. I'm chuffed to bits with it.
