Hello,

I never thought I would be posting something that sounds so silly, but I have to know if it's just this display or not.
I recently got an Apple 27inch LED Display from ebay and it smells like BO. I'm not kidding. It's gross.

do this display have any history of smelling bad?

I've taken this display apart and it seems to be coming from the panel mostly (behind the glass), so I'm debating on ordering another panel to replace this one. In the last week, I feel like its gotten worse.
