Hi Folks
after a lot of research i bought LG 42LW5700 couple of days back, I am new to this forum, but read of the most threads before making a decision whether its samsung or LG. But finally went with LG,it was insatalled y'day, the things i noticed after unpacking are the following
1) any sratch marks on the screen-- None
2)packing had normal tapes-nothing specific written on it, since the 3D glasses was given by the retailer, i am sure he would have opened and put his stuff inside
3)I asked the techinican to show me the used time first, it was showing 218 , now i have a doubt, does this mean its 2 hrs 18 minutes or 218 hours, since there was no DTH y'day, i played some movie from my pen drive, after an hour it was updated to 219 and so on. I spoke to the retailer, he said he will get back to me today. I also called some senior person in LG, he said he will send some senior techinican today, let me see, i will post some more details after i meet with him
experts in this forum, can you please clairfy whether the usage time is in hours only, If anyone has recently purcashe 5700, did u check the first instant what was the usage time value ? did any one had 000 ? now i am thinking whether he has sent me a display piece ?

I got a used piece delivered yesterday by online shopping site letsbuy.com. I have posted my findings online on my blog for benefits of others. Almost all the things which are discussed in this forum on how to identify a used/demo/display unit were in this unit.

Similar thing happened with Airtel DTH HD for me recently . The companies intentions are good and customer friendly , but it comes down to local dealers. They are the ones who screw things up.
Its good they have responded swiftly to your problem

For Samsung TVs - With the TV in standby, press the INFO -> MENU -> MUTE -> POWER buttons in sequence on the remote. The TV will turn On with the Service Menu. Here you should be able to check usage hours and other information and settings of the TV. Don't wait much time between pressing buttons (do it fast).
Hi All
Just had my Pana 32X30D delivered a couple of days back. Checked the usage time after running it for about 3 Hrs. The display showed about 4 Hrs of usage time and 11 counts of starting. I am kinda happy now that this is not a used piece (1 Hrs extra can be due to factory QC). Moreover the delivery guys showed me another trick to avoid this pitfall. While panasonic seems to use a standard thick transparent scotchtape (one with no company logo), but one can easily check if it was ever opened as peeling the scotchtape takes out bits of the carton layers. Need to check both ends of the carton. Moreover, there are about 2 thick staples on either side of the cartoon (under the scotchtape). It is impossible to take out the TV without opening them, and they surely have not been opened in my case. So I am kinda happy that the piece is not a used one.
Thank you guys for all the checks mentioned. Made my day.

I purchased my samsung lcd last year from Reliance Digital, Vashi. They were excellent, and I am very happy with their service. One thing a salesman there told me is that Samsung doesn't make the 'Demo mode' the default mode for packed lcd screens they manufacture. If you install their lcd at home, and it shows that it is in demo mode, it probably means it has been opened and changed to that mode before, probably as a display unit. Of course, absence of default demo mode doesn't therefore necessarily indicate virginity (since it might be changed before repacking), but presence of default demo mode would almost certainly do so.

It is NOT a good idea to buy a demo piece. The logic is simple: Demo pieces run throughout the day when on display. Furthermore, they are set at the brightest levels, etc. to appeal with the best picture to the potential customers. The longevity of the set is severly shortened as a result. I once bought a 56" demo Panasonic unit. After 11 months it went bad. Fortunately, I was able to convince the seller that I had been palmed a bad unit and that they will need to take it back. I got lucky. Since then, however, I refuse to buy a demo TV. I have bought other demo items such as a washing machine (these are not turned on while on display!).
Food for thought the next time you consider a demo unit
