This is extremely, extremely, extremely YMMV because it depends on the store managers choosing to mark them down to a rock bottom price to move the floor models or last units. Not all stores do this and some managers often just split a pallet space and will sell their final units with a similar model with no markdown at all.
In terms of clearances at Costco from most widely available to least:
1) Manufacturer's coupons are region-wide (if not nationwide)
2) $X.97 cent markdowns are city specific and often used to incentivize more sales on featured items to hit quotas
3) $XX.00 when it ends in .00, these are manager markdowns only used to get rid of displays or last units, or SKUs no longer carried
--> fun fact, .00 manager markdowns are actually negotiable!
You can usually slash off 10-15% just by asking for a manager and offering to take the last unit off their hands. I've seen $1999.99 MSRP furniture marked down to $1799.97, then finally $1500.00 and members have successfully talked it down further to $1200.
The bulkier the item, the more likely prices will be slashed if you ask. Works extremely well for couches, tables, patio sets, and refrigerator/washer dryers.
I've seen display units on this level go for as low as 900, but that's very rare.

You'd have to inspect it yourself and decide on a case by case basis.
I have no idea what the warranty would be on a costco display unit, but you could probably buy a third party warranty if the deal was good enough you thought it might be worth the risk.
I bought a refurb Sony a80j 77 from secondipity about a year ago because the price was right, and that has worked out. Still really happy with that TV.
As others have said before, it really all comes down to a bit of luck, timing, and seeing if the display unit is worth buying. I will add that, at night, we shut down our TVs at my store, so they don't run 24/7 like Walmart does!
Edit: The good thing to remember is that all TVs have a 90 day return window. So you aren't risking much by grabbing a good deal and taking it home to test. Worst case scenario, there's burn-in or it doesn't live up to standards and you take it back for a full refund+tax+warranty (if you bought it).
Never mind, I found it somehow but it wasn't easy to find and it's OOS. I got my A80CJ for the same price a few years ago and wouldn't have minded getting another 65"!
