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-

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 ?

Seems like a decent deal. Did anyone confirm the warranty actually covers burn in?

This seems like a great deal as it comes with a warranty. At least compared to new from Costco is $2k

I know how you feel it seems like an excellent deal I just don't know what to do because it's not brand new. What line is this in is it in the middle class or the upper class of TVs of Sony

Does the refurbished units have scratches or anything that looks like it's been used or is it just factory issues

Good sleuthing. This is a MAJOR question that needs to be resolved prior to anyone pulling the trigger.

Yeah that is what is weird. Conflicting info. Note: based on my research at avsforums the new "evo" screens drastically reduce the chances of burn-in. I think the A80j uses this screen.

Edit: thanks. Good info.

Free shipping on this refurb. I'm in.

Similar Buydig OLED deal on C1 (now expired) did not have free shipping despite the FP title: https://slickdeals.net/f/15575938-lg-oled65c1pub-65-inch-4k-smart-oled-tv-with-ai-thinq-2021-model-refurbished-1399-4-year-burn-in-warranty

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.

On another note: We have a few modern OLED TVs. Never once had burn in. Games, movies, sports, channels with logs. None show burn in. I think for modern TVs you have to try pretty damn hard to get burn. Our kids leave the one is basement on all the time, play games all the time, no signs of burn in.
