I purchased 40 inch brand new. Very happy with it, will be purchasing a second one soon.

These are new TVs, but they can not be confused with top of the line brands. I purchased a 40 inch version, it had an OK display and good audio. It does have a couple of problems and a service tech will be here in a week to repair them.

This was a brand new set. In case I forgot to mention, the picture quality seems to improve as the set warms up (15 to 20 minutes). Still, the refresh rate is slow for things like live sporting events. Still, for the price paid, it is good.

I am looking to buy this tv as well. Bestbuy has it for the same price. + tax of course. i hear alot about a buzz. that is why i am thinking best buy might be the way to go just in case of a return.

I was also unsure, hence why I grabbed the U edition right here on Amazon and it was delivered brand new fresh in three days. The TV was manufactured in August I believe too. Very happy. I'd say grab the U model just to be safe.

VHT510 has been discontinued by Vizio, so you are most likely getting a refurbished unit. You might want to ask if it is Vizio re-certified it or it was a 3rd party. I have bought 2 of these one was all problems the other worked perfectly.

I origionally bought the 40" two weeks ago for $1,059.99 from Nebraska Furnitutre Mart (NFM). I though this was an excelent price for a brand new TV of this quality and i was very impressed with the TV no complaints except i wished i had bought a larger model. Yesterday i noticed Best Buy had the 42" on sale for $999.99 and so i called up NFM and asked if i could return my 40" and get the 42". Not only did they let me exchange my model they credited my credit card to the tune of $107.00. NFM had the 42" on sale for only $959.99 which after tax gave me a savings of $107.00 and a larger set. I had played with the 40" picture settings and had arranged them to suit my viewing preference. So far i have not been able to set the 42" to my liking. And i'm hopeing i can make the correct adjustments. The TV does seem to be the correct size for my lounge and so i am very happy i made the up grade (especially as i am $107.00 better off). I do feel that the 40" had a better picture. This seems insane as it has the same technology but for some reason the 40" seemed to have a sharper picture. It may just be i can see the imperfections on the larger screen. Anyway getting back to your point, the only reason i can think for pricing this TV less than the 40" model is to reduce the stock on the 42" model. I'm guessing they sold a bunch of 40" models over Thanksgiving and felt they needed to reduce stock on the 42" model. We will probably see new technology replacing this model and so i guess its out with the old and in with the new.

Brand new from factory. I think they have to market it as re-stocked, refurbished, etc...see note below from Darryle though, this is true.

From the description I read, if I recall, it's a refurb. Wish I had a more definitive answer for you. Feels and looks like brand new to me, and I believe that's probably all that matters. Testimony to the quality of the seller. I unequivocally recommend them. I believe the seller was psxpro and they have a limited warranty on it. They would also take it back if it didn't work out of the box.

Mine was brand new. Once I registered the tv to activate the warranty on LG's website - it asked if I wanted extended warranty.I got 3 years for $80.00. That was cheap. I was all over that offer. So even if it is recertified, you could still get the extended warranty.

Apparently this TV is on back order. Amazon called today to try to get me to substitute the TV for the 55UB8500 model. Not sure if it's worth it yet, still researching and comparing the two models.

J&R; are really selling them half off... maybe it is a refurbished unit or with cosmetic damage, I'm not sure. I paid $600 for mine from Amazon itself and it was worth every penny.

Mine was "brand new in box" when received, instructions and all! Picture perfect and not refurbished or demo stock. Hope this helps...

I believe it was refurbished. It wasn't new it was like new. It works really well.

L.F. -- Thank you for your reply. I was just a bit hesitant whether it was refurbished, etc -- I've decided to put it in.

I would return it. Not only should they have advertised that it was open-box/refurbished, but they should have offered a healthy discount for it. There's no reason for anyone to pay full price for a used unit.

They are 100% new if you pick the new one and not refurbished, they have both just pay attention to what you choose. It states new or refurbished if you look. Sony says 1 year warranty, have not used it so I cant tell you and I am nearly at the 1 year point now.

This TV is over the top, I bought last years model, 2012 and saved a bundle of money. I would make sure it has the camera built in so you know your getting their best, if the model # has an F in it, it is the latest model.
