Cancelled mine just now. Got offered $30 in the process but still cancelled. If they offered me $50 making it free then I'd reconsider!

Warranty difference? No Return policy? I believe Apple has change of mind returns with no questions asked.

Ordered the S2721DGF. Pity it's above $300 but seems like a good deal for a home office monitor and the ocassional game.
