Refurbished TV?q

[Stadler]

Generally I stay away from refurbished electronics.   But I ran across a deal on a refurbished Ultra HD 4K, 70" TV that seems, well, I won't say "too good to be true", since if it seems that it usually is.  I'd rather say "so good it seems like little risk".   

Any thoughts?

I'd say go for it as long as you see no dead pixels on the display. If a TV needs refurbishing, it's usually due to a defective electronics board or a blown capacitor for the screen. Replacing either is not labor intensive or complex in any way. Whoever refurbished it was probably in and out in about 20 minutes. I'd say go for it. What kind of savings are you getting?

A TV that lists for $1200 - $1400 plus/minus for about $500.  Name brand, too.

I'd take the chance.

I'd want to know what the warranty options are. You won't get the full factory warranty, but I'd want more than 30 days or something. Maybe spend a chunk of the savings on one of those awful protection plans, or see what the fine folks at Citi will offer by using their card.

I'd get it if you like the TV overall, 500 off for refurbished is a really good chunk off the price.  TVs now a days get out dated quickly too that I don't see it as the type of purchase you need/or even want to have functioning for 20+ years.
