My 55C1 after more than a year of use is around 2K++ hours. I consider it high since the ideal mileage I believe is around 2K per year.
Given this, 50K PHP for a C1 with 6K hours of use is not a bargain. Marami siguro na entice kase nilagay yung "original price" and how much ang "savings".
Someone here bought a sealed C1 for 49K++ PHP. That is a steal.
Wonder how is the warranty? Is it still 2 yrs from LG?
When the C1's were on clearance sale mid last year, the cheapest bnew units were at
₱65k and that was cash only via cash and carry sellers. The display units were selling for ₱55k to ₱59k.
I think the ₱49k sealed box 55C1 unit that noob found is a one-off. Those kinds of sales are jackpot deals that you will only see once a year. This is similar to the Panasonic JZ1000 clearance sale in 2021.
Honestly, you'll only really hear about these on pdvd, btw. Open box sales are essentially like buying a used tv,
except you have a 2-year distributor warranty and you can pay in 0% installments with a credit card. Even at 6,000 viewing hours, an LG 55C1 at
₱50k at 0% for 12-24 months is a still a good deal, in my humble opinion.
