4.0 out of 5 stars Good Experience With Factory Reconditioned
I bought a reconditioned Philips 17" LCD HD TV (17PF8945/37) in Dec. 2004 and have had great luck with it. I have it in our kitchen and it's used every day for at least 4 hours at a time. It was like new, not a scratch, knick, or dent when I recieved it....the remote was new. It was packaged in that plastic wrapped foam stuff molded into the box in a top and bottom...

1.0 out of 5 stars Failed to work "out of the box"
I thought that buying a re-manufactured product would not only save some money, but that it would also yield a product that was in working order when it arrived. I was wrong and I would advise anyone to steer clear of Phillips re-manufactured products. I have not had similar problems with our factory reconditioned products from other companies (Sharp TV's and Dell...

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Experience With Factory Reconditioned, February 11, 2007
This review is from: Remanufactured Philips 23PF8946A 23" Widescreen LCD TV (Electronics)
I bought a reconditioned Philips 17" LCD HD TV (17PF8945/37) in Dec. 2004 and have had great luck with it. I have it in our kitchen and it's used every day for at least 4 hours at a time. It was like new, not a scratch, knick, or dent when I recieved it....the remote was new. It was packaged in that plastic wrapped foam stuff molded into the box in a top and bottom piece....very well packed in my opinion. The instructions were a little weak (printed very light with a staple in the corner)and I thought that was because it was a re-con unit, but when I went online, they were the same...that's the reason for the 4 star rating instead of 5. At the time I ordered it, I saved over $200 from a brand new unit! I got a 90 day warranty and the only difference to a new one was a sticker in the back saying it was a reconditioned unit. I'm not sure I would agree with the first person that posted their opinion as a "stay away".....I check with the Philips site every once and in a while to see what they have in this catagory, I will buy from Philips Re-con again for sure, I'm shopping for a 23" model now!........PS, the sound quality on this Model/Series of TVs is awesome, better that my 42" Sony TV!...and another weird thing is the HD input into the TV is VGA, so I had to get a Component to VGA cable, so check that out if buying a Philips TV....that's where I had the issue with the weak directions, it was hard to read!! But once was all set and done, the picture is very crisp and clear....and we have 3 other HD TVs in our house.

I was wrong and I would advise anyone to steer clear of Phillips re-manufactured products. I have not had similar problems with our factory reconditioned products from other companies (Sharp TV's and Dell computers to name two of them). Amazon was good about picking up the return and their refund was prompt.
