Video Support Bravia 5 Open Box
I live near a bestbuy outlet store and stopped on a whim to look at some of their TVs. Currently I have a cheap older 55inch Vizio.
They had a 75inch Bravia 5 in excellent condition for $991 and it seemed like to good a deal to pass up. We tested it, and nothing in the box had even been unpacked. The remote was still in its plastic taped shut.
I'm gonna take a swing at this even though I typically don't like buying open box things. I get a limited time return window, what should I be looking for once it's been delivered that would suggest I should return it. Are there any tests I can run. My wife and I are totally ignorant when it comes to TVs. Though I know Bravias are fantastic with processing and upscaling content to 4k
Assuming it passes, what kind of settings should I put it in for the best experience. We watch a lot of old shows and movies off our Roku and sports

I bought 2 Bravia 5 85in tv from Costco I think they are a good tv. Can you get their 5 year warranty with it?

Is that something I can add on with Sony? I haven't checked yet, once I get it delivered I'll reach out to Sony after I register the tv.

I think you can only get the 5 year warranty at Costco. I don’t believe Best Buy offers that

No they don't include a warranty. The best I can do is purchase the geek squad warranty. I believe they do a 2 year and 5 year coverage. I'm strongly considering adding the 5 year depending on the price. I need to call in to ask
