After seeing all the good reviews in this site, finally i went and bought an lg42ld460 yesterday.. i enquired at 4-5 reputed stores, all of them giving quotes btwn 48k-49k.. finally i got a price quote of 46k from a reputed store at Kochi n them being the only dealer with a set available for taking at the time, i bought the tv paying full.. the dealer who seemed to be a nice person showed me the tv which he told was 'company' packed n not opened at all.. he told he'll get it delivered to my home n wud come next day for wall mounting.. in spite of my repeated asking whether it happened to be a demo piece he answered in the negative n told will replace it if there was any problem..the pack was not opened in the store, my mistake.. today while i was out, the company guys came, installed the tv n left.. once i came back, one of the first things i did was to chek the used hours n was horrified to find it had already clocked 1175 hours..july 2010 mfg date.. the tv is in gud condition though.. there's been definite tampering because the case had extra accessories from some other tv also.. my parents told the panel was kind of dusty too which the installation guys cleaned up before mounting.. i feel terribly cheated n want to know from u guys whether anything can be done now.. i contacted the store n they accept there could have been some problem, but they're telling its not possible for them to replace with a new set for atleast 3 weeks.. n they're telling all sets will have clocked 500 hrs atlst, howevr new.. else they're offering 1.5k cash refund plus 6 months extended warranty.. what shud i do?..1]accept the offer, 2]wait for replacement or 3]lodge complaint with the LG guys?.. n to be honest, the tv is working fine..its this 1175 hrs n trickster dealer thing that's irritating me.. pls pls help me..
