I ALWAYS get the floor model. They do always cover it with regular warranty. A typical LED in a T.V is 80,000 lamp hours on average. The t.v doesn't stay on 24/7 usually just when the store is open.
So for example I'll use my current t.v .
They do keep records of when a t.v model gets put onto the floor and year of model etc etc thats how they determine the price. Mine was on the floor for 8 months for 15 hours a day so roughly 3,600 hours of use. I got this t.v that was almost 2000 bucks ( 50 inch) for 680 plus tax . That was in 2017. Its 4k , lg trumotion 240,120hz native led etc etc. Full warranty plus I *did* poney up for an extra 50 bucks for 5 year extended warranty because I did get paronoid that it was a floor model but w/e I still think made out like a bandit.
Tech prices obviously drop quickly. Even now tho I still in the long run got a smoking deal becaise to can get that same t.v now for around 900 bucks . So I got the same t.v 3 years earlier and still got it at a better deal than new now.
