A Quick Saving Tip
Before checking out on an open-box TV, confirm the warranty terms and inspect the return window — most open-box sets still carry a manufacturer warranty, but coverage can vary by condition grade. And if you’re comparing against a new-in-box price elsewhere, factor in delivery fees and membership costs (like a Costco membership) so you’re comparing true out-the-door totals.
