Don't EVERY buy a used TV from sears (My TV buying SAGA)

I Under normal circumstances wouldent, i dident have the money on me to front an extra 500 bucks to get the next model up from the TV i was looking for, comming hoem without a TV was not an option :rofl. So I figured hey, their selling it for 799 vs 1199… ill throw in my slides/movies check for dead pixels, banding, burn in, uniformity in the screen etc if it checks out take it.

But, not only was it not the TV i was looking for, it was the defective unit I brought back.
