Yesterday just bought a new LCD tv 42' but when the tv reach my house i notice the tv box seal have been break before so i call the shop n they told me the seal have been break coz when the tv reach their store they have to check the tv so have to break the seal,is that true .

u buy from normal electrical shop?

or u buy from reputable store like harvey norman, carrefour, hsl,best denki, hlk, dan lain lain?

if from normal electrical shop, like tat lo...

usually they will brake the sticker but in front of you...

just check the item inside ok not??

For normal case,normal shop owner/salesman won't open the tv and check.
It might be display set

i bought from normal shop,coz price cheaper around rm800 compare Court or Sen Q.The condition just like new with protection sticker around the tv.

I will return, as once box open, normally is display set.

See if you can enter the service menu and find out how many hours the TV has been used. This can indicate if your TV is really new or a display set.

Anybody how to enter the service menu and find out how many hours the TV has been used for Panasonic L42U29K??

If it is me, I would return the LCD. They shouldn't break the seal unless necessary. I suspect this unit may be a display unit and they're trying their luck to sell them away to unsuspecting customers.

How much the price ?

if it's a brand new there will be a strong smell (some kind of electrical items smell) once you opened the box.

Electrical smell or plastic smell?

he has mention it in another thread, he got it for RM2K..it way too cheap for Pana U29K..if me, I would suspect something..

Damn cheap meh,i just buy same model like u last 2 weeks it s around Rm2699.I'm curious maybe ur set is display set.

Wah, so expensive. This website only selling at RM2350. Don't know the website reliable or bogus.

For Panasonic lcd tv,i'm sure the box only will sealed once only.

Sharp-32L400m/450m- Rm1099 is normal price i can get around kl area

ask for some price discount

It really depends on how the sealed is. If it's sloppy then probably sealed by the shop. Manufacturers sometimes do rework and we can always know since they will sealed with a bigger/wider tape than the original.

Otherwise check the menu

So far i do know Lg and Toshiba brand lcd tv's box is sealed more than twice
