Refurbished versions of TVs are sold in large numbers online and in showrooms. We all have a misconception that refurbished TV is just like buying a second-hand car, worn and torn, dirty, weak parts, and with lot of technical failures. The truth is they are not sold the same way. Manufactures take up these TVs and sell them only after giving it a good service and replace any worn out parts with the brand new one.

Difference between refurbished and used TVs
Used televisions are those which are used for a period of time by the former owner, and sold for certain reasons. If you are planning to buy them, they can be gotten on a considerable discount. However, they are sold as it is and if you face any kind of problems in future like internal failures after few months of use you either have to fix it or take the loss on. A refurbished TV is an unused but returned one to the manufacturers or dealers for certain reasons like as it was a demo unit, blogger review model, damaged while shipping, broken screen, delivered with an opened box, or if it was a product with defective parts. The manufacturer fixes whatever is wrong and sells it as a refurbished product as it further cannot be sold as new.
