      I wish they have the refurbed 50" pixel plus 3 for sale. I guess not too many people are returning those.

      WTF this is cheap as baconnaise - I know the horror stories with the Outlet have been well documented here but I would say this is worth the risk.

      There was a Samsung NONREFURB for 899 a couple days ago. 42" Plasma. Samsung is much nicer than Philips, and its not all burp scratched up cause it wasn't pre-owned by some stupid ni666er who dropped it while trying to wall mount. Spending $800 on a burp refurb is stupid.

      I ordered a 37" LCD tv from these guys and the only problem seemed to be the shipping. It took 2 weeks to get from the time that I ordered it. The tv looks bran new and is in perfect condition. The warranty is only 90 days so I am really checking it out. So far I have no complaints.

      Ya, I got a 37" TV in my burp coat closet, and 1 in the trunk of my car. Where did you install yours?

      There is no risk. If you end up with a lemon you can bug Philips customer service to either have it returned or replaced at their cost. People have Philips pay shipping to get the item back. Basically you are not going to lose a dime on it. The only thing you need is luck. Some people got good tv on their first try, some on their second. If you're unlucky then you have to do this few more times, if you're willing to go thru with the hassle. If you get a broken remote, keep the whole thing because it's highly probable that the tv works perfectly but got returned because of the broken remote. If the entire thing looks brand new without a scratch, then I'd examine the tv very carefully.

      But for the price it can't be beat.

      I bought one of these and it wouldn't work at all. I opened it up and found horndoggy11 hiding inside of it. It was really creepy....

      So how do I examine the TV carefully? Can anyone point me to a step-by-step guide?

      #9 If you can find a teenager named horndoggy11, get him out of his grandma's basement, he might do it for you for minimum wage.

      ya sure ill come inspect your newly purchased refurbed TV. But only after I punch you in the face for being so burp stupid to overpay for a scratced up , used burp TV with a remote that doesnt work. Or you could have paid $99 more for a better TV, thats brand new, with a better brand name, thats not scratched up, and you will be the first person to open it up and use it. Philips is laughing their asses off at the suckers who purchase their refurbs for essnetially the same price as the brand new one.

      What new name brand 42" HDTV from a somewhat trustworthy retailer sells for "essentially" the same price as this?

      I have seen places sell ones with no speakers and/or they force you to buy all kinds of add ons to actually get the TV (prime example) otherwise they cancel the order.

      Just link people and then they will buy the TV you seem so convinced exists.

      Philips is a much better company than Samsung. Samsung is selling things just as Hyndai and Kia sell.
