Do Dell Ultrasharp U3011s ever go on sale? I've seen refurbs occasionally, but a limited warranty would be worrisome for something this pricey.

Is the extended warranty the same as the one that comes with new monitors (0 dead/stuck pixel policy, etc.)?

I got my U3011 yesterday. It's a beautiful panel, but one thing I've noticed is that the top part of the panel can bend inward slightly (like less than a millimeter) when pushed. I noticed this when I was cleaning it yesterday. Some Googling seems to suggest that this is an intentional design feature to allow for heat expansion. It doesn't seem to affect the color quality or backlight of the display. Have any other U3011 owners seen this?
