Graded TVs have been suffering from people’s prejudices long enough. Owning a brand new TV or a graded one can be surprisingly similar – and the latter can save you so much money. The first thing you need to do is open your mind and accept that ‘damaged’, ‘old’ or ‘problematic’ are adjectives that have absolutely nothing to do with a graded device.
So, what exactly is a graded TV?
Well, nothing other than a normal TV that has been categorised as graded for one of the following reasons:
– They come from an excess of supply from the manufacturer.
– They have damaged packaging and so they can’t be sold as brand new. (Yes, you actually pay for spotless packaging too whenever you’re buying a brand new TV.)
– They have been returned according to the 30 days return policy (in most cases, believe it or not, as unwanted gifts).
– They have been used as display models in the shop (this usually implies minimal use).
So, what are the advantages of buying graded TV?
- Get Top Brands for Half the Price
Yes, it’s cheap, and that’s the most noticeable advantage. Money is not infinite – we wish! All that cash you’re saving when buying a graded TV can be used for so many other things: holidays, a console to play games on your graded TV, a DVD boxed set you always wanted to have…
Besides, if your budget is limited, there are certain brands or models that you might believe are out of your reach. However, why don’t you search for graded stock from the brands you really like? Some offers are even half-price, which means you can have that TV you always wanted and pay a price you can afford. Yes, your dreams can come true.
- They Undergo Quality Checks
We won’t get tired of repeating this: graded doesn’t mean faulty, In fact, when an item is labelled as such, it immediately undergoes an extensive quality and technical inspection carried out by a TV professional. When it reaches your home you can be sure it’ll give you as much as a new TV in terms of performance (with the satisfaction that it didn’t cost an arm and a leg to get it!)
- They Come With a Warranty
Purchasing a graded TV doesn’t mean you’re getting a worse deal. They all come with their warranty so your rights as a customer are always present. As we said before, graded TVs are essentially new TVs so they’ll be just as reliable, and covered against the same potential faults. So when people think that graded items will fall into pieces at the first occasion… that’s simply not the truth.
- Is Fashion A Must For You?
If the immediate answer is ‘no’, then you want to check out graded TVs before purchasing a new one. Technology is constantly evolving and this is its principal attraction. However, the truth is that not many people can afford to buy the latest model of their favourite brand as soon as it comes out. This implies throwing away money – and is also an unnecessary waste of the ‘old’ TV in most of the cases. It isn’t great news for the environment either if, every year, perfectly good models get discarded just because they are not the latest version anymore. So, if you care about the environment and have little interest in fashion, graded TVs are your best choice. Plus, remember that even if you buy a new TV it will also get ‘old-fashioned’ in a few months’ time anyway.
