I have recently been looking in to buying a new LCD TV for my room. I was looking at newegg and noticed this nice 52" Toshiba for only 1100(no shipping).

It's a refurbished/recertified TV. Anyone have a refurbished TV? Is it worth it at all? This is the TV: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889253182

Also a 46" TV:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889253175

What do you guys think of those?

And for speakers, I visited Circuit City looking at TV's and was talking to one of the employee's, and I asked him if I really need to get a pretty expensive home theater system, and he said its worth it to get a expensive one(like $600). Kept trying to sell me ones priced at that. Now my question, is it really worth it just for audio?(Honestly, sound is not THAT important to me.) Could I get by with a $300-$350 home theater system, or should i spend more?

A refurbished item should be refurbished so it's like new. Most refurbs are actually just items that people have got home, decided they didn't want and sent back so they aren't bad deals. You could email them and ask them why it's a refurb. They both look like decent sets for the money. If audio isn't important to you then you should be more than happy with a system that costs $300. You might find yourself upgrading later on though when you realise that a decent set up might have more on offer than just extra sound quality.
