[CUBE] displays follow-up

[Kenneth Strain]

There is no reason to buy a new one.  I bought mine used, and I made sure it
had no stuck or dead pixels.  If you buy a new one, and it has one to three
dead pixels, Apple shrugs its shoulders and says "too bad".  I say always
buy LCD panels used.  You can be sure that it works, and save some money to
boot.
