Are you shopping for a new TV but the price of new, sealed models makes you hesitate? An open box TV might be exactly what you need. It's a new or nearly new device, sold at a reduced price simply because the original packaging has been opened, whether for a return, a display model, or a slightly damaged box.
What exactly is an open box TV?
An open box TV is a device whose original packaging is no longer sealed. This can happen for several reasons: a customer who changed their mind after purchase, a model used for an in-store demonstration, or simply a box that was damaged during transport. The TV itself is generally new and has only been handled briefly, if ever used.
Savings, the number one reason
The main reason to buy open box is simple: it costs less. Depending on the model, you can save 20% or more compared to the price of a new, sealed TV. For a good-sized screen, this difference can represent several hundred dollars, without compromising the quality of the device.
Almost new quality
Unlike a used device purchased from a private seller, an open box TV goes through a verification process before being put back on sale. This means you get a device that works well, often with very few hours of use, if any. The difference with a new, sealed model is generally limited to the packaging.
Warranty, a point to check
Open box TVs generally offer a warranty, but its duration varies depending on the retailer. Before buying, always take the time to check the exact conditions. Our team can confirm the applicable warranty for each model available in our open box TV section.
A more responsible choice for the environment
Buying open box is also giving a second life to a product that, otherwise, could end up as waste even if it has never been used. Less waste, less new packaging produced for nothing, it's a simple gesture that makes a difference on a small scale.
