  • Smudges between the screens

Thing is, the most likely defect they will have is crazy color blobs, so you could give it a shot, since you may not even detect them unless you have good color vision.
I think I could live with some blobs but not a shiny dead pixel. That would drive me nuts. I will wait (maybe) until USD to EURO is better, 3 weeks ago it was 148€ now 154€.

Edit to answer Harry:
euro price drop
and returning from Belgium would be a bit of a hassle I suppose
