Speaking of OLEDs I'm running an LG 4K 65" OLED. it's coming up on 3-4 years and the picture qualify is awesome. I had the screen replaced (burn in was totally) my fault and LG did it for free out of warranty. Very happy with how they treated me. I got nothing but positive things to say about my lg oled. My point also is even 3-4 yes old the pic quality is still great.

For 2018 this doesn't seem like a deal , but more so the correct value for a 3 yr old oled tv . And to be refurbished aka used at some point . Price should be at least $800

Based on my research a 65 inch oled tv of this vintage goes for around $1200-1300. Good deal if this is what you're looking for, however this model is getting on 3 years old now... It's about what I would expect to pay for a used tv. And also who did the refurbishing?
Refurbished means very different things to different businesses.

I bought a "Pioneer Factory Refurbished" A/V AMP from A4L.
(They advertise their items as being Yamaha/Sony/Pioneer/Denon Factory Refurbished. The highest level of refurbishment)
What I got looked like something that I would have found at a pawnshop.... in working condition but scuffed and worn.

Where does the warranty come from?

If it's 90 days from Sony I might be interested.

May want to dig a little further into this for those who may be looking to pair this TV with a next gen console on release.

I recall them having only average input lag if that's important to you. Not sure if that ever improved with a firmware update or something, but worth looking into before purchase.

Not a slick deal. Especially not knowing how many hours the refurb set has.

Not sure where the confusion is. It clearly says 90 warranty under the description. Is there somewhere else on the page that says no warranty?

Item Description:
OLED TV 8 million pixels
X1 Extreme processor, 4K X-Reality PRO
4K HDR, HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision
Sony's Acoustic Surface
TRILUMINOS Display
4K HDR Super Bit Mapping
Vertical one slate design
90 Day Warranty
That would require the posters to read,,,

A refurb OLED? Can you even return it if it comes with burn-in already on the panel?

Let me explain how they refurbish TV.

A customer buys a TV and discovers it has bad DSE, blooming, banding (oled) and returns it to the store.

The store sends it back

Someone at the return center inspects it for cracks and checks to see if it turns on,

Then they get a 22 year old college kid to pack it up in the box.

Then it is sold online.

If you think they have a 200K TV engineer to replace the panel or electronics...you are fooling yourself.

Refurbished TV are rejected TV. Period. Just like buying a refurbished projector..same thing.

Now, if you bought a Canon refurbished SLR camera it will be pure mint condition. In fact so mint it looks new. That is with Canon directly. I always do that since I get a new SLR for the price of refurbished. Or I bought a refurbished bissell steam carpet cleaner from bissell. Now you think you might see some left over hairs on the roller brush or dirt in the tank. No way. The unit was so clean I could drink beer out of the receiving dirty water tank. The roller brush was so new I could lick the bristles.

But a TV...same goes for open box at Best Buy. No thanks

Walmart use to be big on selling refurbished TV. The reviews of the condition of the tv was horrible.

This is my view. You work hard all your life. Get the TV you really want. You waste your money spending 50-70 bucks on drinks for a girl that wont go home with you or split a $500 bottle of vodka for table service. Or spend 30 bucks on HDMI cable at best buy you can get on amazon for 3 bucks.

I think you're giving them too much credit by assuming they have a college kid pack it back up...I highly doubt the person packing it back up ever attended a college...

I have this TV. Bought it new for way more. Everytime people come over they are amazed by the Pic quality. I also have a 950h and the interface on it is much faster but the picture doesn't compare at all. I only really watch anything on the 8f.
