looking for advice before buying

[DJRCB]

hey guys i have a question.

i was at a retail store (in Canada) i was looking in the TV section and the sales person showed me a floor model that had a single red line down the right side of the screen. i forget the model but it was an LG (or Samsung i cant remember) 65" 4k the sales person said it was a high end model (it has a connection block that you plug your devices into, the block has a single cable to TV. kind of like a hub if that helps) the listed price was $2299 it was advertised on clearance for $1099 and the sales guy said he would sell it for $600. he said there is a still a year manufacture warranty on it. so basically im just wondering if these would be a good deal? is it possible that i could use the warranty coverage to get it fixed? or perhaps i could try to repair it myself? what do you guys think?

do you guys have any advice?

thanks for the help

Aviod any Tv that has lines out.

dont touch it.
the warranty is probably void because it was a display model before you purchased it - so your second-user.
and it's probably a bad panel - 99.9% of the total cost!!

tell the sales-bod to do a warranty return and stop trying to victimise people.

When the sales guy moves his lips, he is likely lying to you.

Offer him $100 and see what he says.

If you buy a TV, consider Costco. They have a very generous return policy and a reasonably priced optional extended warranty.

I generally don't buy extended warranties, but depending on how much you spend on the TV, it might make sense with Costco.

I have a friend who bought a 65 inch TV from Costco. 7 months later, it had a problem. I don't recall the exact symptoms, but he took it back to Costco and with no questions asked, got a complete no hassles 100% refund.

Hello, I was thinking about purchasing the attached picture. But, I didn't know if a white bar on a samsung 50" 4k TV was repairable. I would do all the research of replacing components. I just need to know if I should attempt to do so. Thank you.

Buy tv do research later. Can't see how that plan could ever fail

Hamie I don't think he bought tv yet. Don't buy that tv bad panel or any. Post on craigslist you will pick up nonworking Tv's free. You will get a lot of spare parts, but I've picked up some nice Tv's that way.

I haven't picked it up but was verifying if it was fixable. Thank you both, I'll keep looking around.
