Thanks, guys! I'm picking it up tomorrow.
XerO, I'll check it as best I can before I put it in the car. I know I should check for the remote control, cables and manual. Anything else to look for?
And thanks for that suggestion.
The best laid plan…

trapper189I don’t remember what it was, but I was in a rush, needed what ever it was at Home Depot, and just grabbed the box that looked like it had been hit by a forklift without checking what was inside. Got it home, opened it up, and sure enough, whatever it was had a puncture in it from being hit with a forklift.

bronicabillI have purchased several "open box" items from BB in the past and never had an issue with any of them. YMMV
Oh, and for the record, I'm still on my first flat-screen TV that I bought back in 2012... a Samsung 42". Have never had so much as a hiccup out of it so far, though it'll probably emit the magic blue smoke next time I turn it on just because I bragged about it!
