Is buying a refurbished LG LED TV from walmart.com a bad idea?




Kayla


They have a 90 day warranty on them and so can be returned. I'm not sure what goes into the refurbishing process. Has anyone ever bought a refurbished television and if so, how did it work out for you?

Walmart.com has a deal for a 42" inch LG LED TV for $529. Would that be a good enough deal to risk buying it refurbished?



Answer
First understand that with a couple of exceptions, LED is only referring to the lighting panel in the set and not the little pixels. LED to CCFL is not of huge importance. Makes the set a little thinner.
May get more uniformity. Refurb with vary as to how much refurbishing it needed. Customer returns, display models, scratched, or truly repaired defective. 90 day warranty is an issue since when they break they are very expensive to fix. A 1 year squaretrade warranty on it is $90 as a guidance for a refurb set. Separate warranties are much cheaper than those sold in stores. Looks like you see the LG 42LE5350 which Walmart shows only as 60Hz and is actually the better 120Hz. It is very good for the price. Also, in-store closeout at Fry's electronics here is selling 42LE5500 for $600. Anyway, looks OK. I would be tempted to go for the 42LK450 at $498 new with the full warranty and some credit cards double warranty for free. At 42 inch even with LED vs CCFL in the lower contrast ratio it is still a great set.

How bad is a Refurbished 3d LED tv?

Looking to buy a new tv and have been told even if I don't want it, 3d tvs offer a better picture all around due to better quality/technology in the tv. My question is that I see refurbished tvs from Best Buy and I'm wondering what of use they've had or what's been done to them?


Answer
i bought myself a panasonic plasma 3d tv from amazon which was refurbished and there is NOTHING wrong with, its perfect, brilliant picture and sound quality, nothing was missing and it still had the clear protective film covering the screen, the only thing it did not have was panasonic written on the box

and some companies in amazon are selling the same tv but not refurbished for over $300 more than i paid for mine
