    one can never know what was the exact origin or condition of a refurbished product; more specifically, what was the reason for that ‘refurbished’ tag.
    Therefore, do not assume anything when opting for a refurbished LCD TV, plasma television, home theater systems, etc.; instead, take all the above possibilities into consideration.
    Here are a few questions you should ask yourself when buying refurbished electronic products:
    What to ask when buying a Refurbished Product
    Is it a factory refurbished product?
    Is the refurbished unit being sold by a manufacturer authorized dealer?
    Does the refurbished unit have a valid U.S. warranty?
    At least it should come with a typical 45 to 90-day Parts and Labor warranty.
    Has the refurbished item been originally intended for the U.S. market?
    Does the retailer offer a return policy for the refurbished unit in case you are not completely satisfied with your purchase?
    Expect at least a 15-days return policy. This is important so that you can inspect the product yourself before a final decision.
    Is it possible to get an extended warranty for the refurbished item? This does not imply that you should purchase an extended warranty - rather it shows to what extent, the retailer is ready to backup the refurbished product.
    Do NOT proceed with the purchase of any refurbished electronic product unless the answers to at least the first five questions are all in the affirmative.
    If the answer to all these six questions is positive, opting for a unit that has been designated as refurbished electronics may represent a smart move to get a great product at a great price.
    much more commentary for consideration at web page …

    Re-furbished means exactly that , broken in the past but now magically has no more problems - yeah , pull the other one.
    buy your TV new or dont buy one at all and save your money , or spend it on something else totally different , like a holiday.
    At least this way you wont get ripped off - and dont buy one on-line so you can get some decent customer service after you make your purchase.

    It means it was a lemon…
    Once a lemon always a lemon.
    Save your money and buy new.
