Some electronics would be okay, but with a plasma you need to be careful. Why was it an open box, and why was there no remote? If were simply a customer return, I'd expect everything to be there. Since it's not, then I expect this was a display model. If it was, then you have no idea how many hours are already on the set or whether it was 'abused' (left in torch mode, IR/Burn-in, etc.).

It's good that you have a 45 day period to return it. In that time, you should be able to tell if anything is seriously wrong with the set. You may want to search the web to see if there is a way to access the service menu so you can check the hours on it.
