Ex display TV

[cball313]

Hi,

I was after a bit of advise regarding purchasing an ex display TV from a shop. The TV is an LED Samsung which when I checked they 'should' run for 100,000 hours with no problems. It's been on display in the store for about 9 months, probably on high settings. Can you see any issues buying this? The price is around £1500 cheaper than buying it new.

Also, does anyone know the warranty policy with ex display items? E.g. 1 year, 6 months etc.

Thanks

Normally its 5 years warranty from the likes of John Lewis and Currys. I bought an ex-display TV from John Lewis and I loved it. I would only buy it if you can return it if there is any problems though. Check for image retention too.

Thanks, I will ensure I check the image retention. I can't see them selling it without any warranty.
