I was shopping this week for a new TV and picked up a Mitsubishi. While browsing through the local Ultimate Electronics, I noticed the the numerous "open box" RPTVs for sale (most marked down a measly 10%). It then occurred to me these television were probably running on the showroom floor 10+ hours a day with the contrast, brightness and sharpness maxed out. Just a word of warning to the bargain shopper....a worn out television is no bargain.
