Check in person often it can just be the store display missing a remote or the stand.

Yup, it's definitely going to be missing something. I had the same experience. "Open box" at Best Buy also often does not have a box at all
Do y'all think the year of running matters long term? Worth the discount?

Here is the direct comparison for those that are interested:

This specific size uses an IPS panel, instead of the VA displays of the other sizes. While contrast is measurably worse, it seems negligible unless you're exclusively watching dark content in dark rooms. On the upside, it has much improved viewing angles.
It's incredibly bright, great for rooms where you can't control lighting or for eye-searing HDR content. It does really well in gaming, but if you rely on a TV for post-processing of lower resolution content you will not get quite the same results as a Sony product. Unless you're coming from OLED, this will impress.

needless to say I said heck no and went to another store that had open box good. It was brand new in the box. They opened the box to make sure everything was working. All the plastic was still on it.
so yeah, definitely go to the store before you buy.
