Many Liquidators buy up goods out of Bankruptcy court or from those who do.
Regardless of the status of the Company that manufactured the TV, you should get a new one or a refund.
Was their any promise of of a Warentee by Manuafcturer?
DOOOOG
PS. I never had any problem with OS that they didn't immediately rectify.
One word of caution though: some items are sold directly through OS, but others are "dropped shipped" from third-parties (who in this case may have bought the merchandise out of BC).This is not uncommon with electronics stuff.
In any event, you bought it through OS, be polite and ask for a new and working model. If none is available --you should ask for a credit back to your Credit card, rather than a store credit for a sum like this.
If a new replacement is available and you decline, they may hit you with a 15% Restocking fee --not uncommon in electronics.
My suggestion, read their RETURN POLICY closely.
And as always, it best to do so before you buy !
I think it will work out alright.
