Also known as ‘B’ grade. As kezo says there could be a number of reasons, mostly I would guess customer returns, which begs the question why they were returned. I would also be concerned about big heavy TVs being in and out of their packaging a number of times.
Mike , if you’re getting a new TV, you’ll want it to last you a few years as the ones you have now have done. Can’t see any sense not getting the latest or at least next to latest technology.
