If it is cheaper than street price for RM800 and the unit itself looks brand new and dust free, I don't see a point of making a big fuss over it. It maybe the shop owner just open it for inspection.

must look out n avoid 4 da display sets 1... they switch on da tv for so many hours ady...

Unsuspecting customers will receive display sets. There's no law that says customers are only to be delivered factory sealed goods. Its a matter of ethical business practice which is a norm now, just like nearly all IT related goods you find at Low Yat or established shops.
If you're a prudent customer, insist on factory sealed goods on delivery or its no deal, simple, better still if COD, decide for yourself on inspection of goods to your hand.
The chances of factory sealed goods will be from big chain stores that have a good reputation. Its your call. You want cheap it comes with untold risk.
Like AllIT or some others, there's a little notice to customers not to open any package as customers won't like opened boxes. Its a welcome and ethical practice. Others businesses should follow this healthy trend.
Like LG TV I have, you can invoke a sub menu that'll tell you how many hours its been in operation. Am not sure if other TV's have this. Anyone can do some homework and read the downloaded manual, then check the set on delivery.
My 2 sen.

there are some people who don't mind display/demo units - assuming they are priced as such as well.

As usual, as a buyer, you really need to do your homework to protect yourself. Ask all the relevant questions before committing to the purchase and only accept if the seller is willing to comply. If not, then no deal, walk away and find another seller.

yea, nwdays a lot of eletric shops selling cheap tv witout telling da 'secrets' reason for da cheap price...

It is display set or set which has been taken out for some purpose. Becareful and don't deal with the display set especially for Plasma, LCD and LED.
