I bought an open box 65" Sony A8F OLED from BuyDig a couple years ago. Zero flaws or burn-in and it's been performing flawlessly. It was double boxed for shipping as well.

What doesn't CPS's TV extended warranty cover?
This warranty does not cover any kind of damage to the TV, the cost of removal or reinstallation, or burn in on the television screen. Stolen TVs are also not covered.

I found that on thier website but it's contradictory to what's shown on the box on the Buydig website...

EDIT: found it. burn in is covered-

https://www.buydig.com/shop/produ...r-1500-ACC

Features

Accidental Damage coverage
Warranty covers the purchased product against defects in material or workmanship for 4 years starting 30 days after purchase
Impact Damage
Dropping while moving or mounting the TV
From kids playing ball in the house
Burn in covered - usually not covered by the OEM
Remote Control replacement - hot swap, no question asked
Tech Support Included - initial product setup and/or configuration
Authorized service dispatched by Consumer Priority Service

Since this model number include the "CJ" - that probably means these are Costco returns from last fall when they had the $1799 deal for this model TV. Costco has a generous return policy so it is feasible some were returned for reasons not related to faulty performance (like return/rebuy if would not price match, decided to buy from another store as many retailers offer the $1799 price last October, or opted to return the 65" and get the 77" instead as the 77 went on sale at Costco around Black Friday).
There was a similar slick deal a few weeks ago from Secondipity that also had the "CJ" model, so perhaps Costco had an influx of returns to liquidate - they do not typically re-sell returns as open box in store

With that being said, this "refurb" status might have a better chance of being almost like new condition as opposed to other refurb sales on sites like Woot that are more "scratch and dent" of a previous year's model - and thus more of a shot in the dark on what condition you might get if you pull the trigger.

This is better than the LG A1 65" that is the same price at Costco right now. Yes, you go not get the Costco extended warranty you would get if you have the Costco Visa. But that warranty does not cover burn in and still requires you to go through a 3rd party to make a claim (can't just bring it back to Costco if in year 2 something malfunctions).

Anyone know if this is eligible to receive the 10 free movie credits through Sony Bravia Core service - https://electronics.sony.com/bravia-core ?

I was seriously about to pull the trigger on this but saw on RTINGS that it doesn't support VRR.

The LG ones are more geared to gaming features. Sony is directed purely at content consumption

I purchased the C1 65 refurb from Buy Dig last month and it appeared to be a brand new TV with 0 hours of usage or any cosmetic issues. Thought, I wish I waited for this deal as I'm using the TV for movies/tv rather than gaming which this one is supposed to be better at.

Been waiting for a deal this good. Will be my first OLED. Replacing a Sony 65" LED I bought a few years ago for Super Bowl Sunday. I can't wait to not see a patchy grey screen in movies and story-oriented video games when it's supposed to be totally dark. Hope I get a good one!

Costco Citi card covers additional 2 years?

Edit: Bought it with Costco Citi card. Hopefully will get a brand new one 🤞

Way better than the Woot deal. You can get double/triple warrantied with the right credit card (since it has the 90 day manufacturer warranty).

Correct. Which is why I'm still waiting to pull the trigger on one. I want to make sure the implementation is good. I only have a PS5, so I'm also waiting and hoping that the VRR update for that goes smoothly as well lol

I was just looking into this, PS5 doesn't have VRR yet, the only 2021 Sony TV that has it is the 900H and it's beta and not very good. There is a solid chance this won't get VRR. Sony tends to not care about old products after their initial sales period.

These refurbs come in a retail box?!? Are they refurbs or "refurbs"? Has anyone ordered one of these before, if it's a retail box, i'm wondering if they're just being listed as refurbs to not violate pricing agreements.
Under 'Item Description' it says it comes in a retail box.

I would imagine these are mostly customer returns and not new units. Though someone commented that they took advantage of the previous refurb C1 deal and there's had no hours on it. Just gotta roll the dice and hope you get a good one!
