Looking for a new monitor, and trying not to automatically use Amazon.
Laptops Direct have the same one for more or less the same price, but when I get to the checkout, they offer me this:
To me, this looks like them charging twenty quid to save you the (quite unlikely) faff of possibly having to return a monitor that may have cosmetic damage or doesn't work. They can't set it up without plugging it into your computer, so that bit is a lie. Are dead pixels in a brand new monitor really not covered? That's not manufacturer's warranty, surely, but the normal consumer protection of the thing being fit to use when you buy it.
And breathe....
