don't forget the time you'll have to wait for the warranty claim/repair/replacement

I phoned Samsung. They wont repair. They will replaced with newer unit provided warranty still within.
Extended warranty have to check the warranty given by Shop or Samsung. If Samsung no issue, if shop, have to take note.

The way I see it - it's really depends on your luck. Brand new or display, both equally have chance to break down some time in the future haha
Having additional warranty when purchasing display unit is a must. Even if the TV breakdown outside warranty 5 years later, you won't feel bad because you already use it for 5 years.
Yeah. Like a car. Solely based on luck and of coz primary inspection.

Display or new doesn't matter imo. If you get a lemon, new or display it's still a lemon.
But personally I prefer new. Don't like my stuff abused by other people beforehand.
I'm usually one of those guys that just "hentam" on everything and anything on display. Other than testing PQ I would also "caress" and "molest" the TV physically to see how good the build quality is which are stuff I usually won't do if it's my own.
This is the only time you get to do it no?
So yeah, no display sets for me even with a substantial discount.
I also preferred new. But no more in the market. How?

Completely agreed. I bought my first LED TV, Samsung 55" many years ago when it was just released for ~RM10k vs new set of RM13k. Bought the display set used in the shop for ~3 months to save RM3k. The TV panel spoiled right after 5 years. My other Panasonic LCD TV 3 years older is still running fine as of today.
Now it is harder to find a good 65" TV at reasonable price, the new Samsung MU series is expensive but picture quality can't match that of last year's KS series.
I managed to found one. Its a clearance unit, from roadshow.
RM4399 for Samsung SUHD KS7000 55" ... Should I go for it? Tho I m already reserving the unit. But still a bit in dilemma... I m glad I managed to secure it and actually hoping it will break within next year or soon... so I can get a replacement "soon" ... hehehe
