Best Buy has been around for decades, and although they've shifted around what products they sell, TVs have been a mainstay since the beginning. They remain one of the most popular destinations for TV shopping, both online and in-store. Best Buy sells a wide range of TVs, including budget, high-end, and everything in between, so you can find a good TV for your personal budget. Best Buy even has its own budget brand called Insignia, but you're usually better off going with budget models from the likes of Hisense and TCL. By testing dozens of models each year on our standardized test bench, we can see which TVs are worth buying.
You can find our recommendations for the best TVs at Best Buy below. If you're not necessarily limited to shopping at Best Buy and want to see a wider range of options, look at our picks for the best Mini LED TVs, the best TVs for bedrooms, and the best TVs under $1,500, or vote on which ones you want us to buy and test. To learn more about all of the latest models on the market, check out our 2026 TV lineup page.
We buy and test dozens of TVs yearly, taking an objective, data-driven approach to deliver results you can trust. Our testing process is complex, with hundreds of individual tests that take over a week to complete. Most of our tests use specially designed test patterns that mimic real content, but we also use the same sources you have at home to ensure our results match the real-world experience. We use two main tools for our testing: a Colorimetry Research CR-100 colorimeter and a CR-250 spectroradiometer.

Best TV At Best Buy

It offers a complete package of top-tier image quality, gaming features, and versatility. This QD-OLED model displays unrivaled colors that are rich, accurate, bright, and incredibly vivid. It also displays inky blacks alongside bright highlights, so it looks incredible in dark rooms, especially when you're watching high-quality HDR movies and shows from streaming services. Many OLEDs struggle with reflections in bright rooms, but this model's impressive matte screen coating means reflections are a non-issue, even in the brightest spaces. It's not perfect, though, as the TV's deep blacks rise noticeably during the day, causing it to look a bit washed out.
The TV's superb image quality makes games look amazing, and it's also equipped with a ton of modern gaming features. It has four HDMI 2.1 ports that are capable of 4k @ 165Hz with VRR to reduce screen tearing, so it pairs excellently with modern consoles and gaming PCs. Additionally, the TV features crystal-clear motion, even in fast-paced games. It utilizes Samsung's Tizen OS, which offers a wide selection of apps, making it easy to find movies and shows to watch.

Best Upper Mid-Range TV At Best Buy
Mixed UsageHome TheaterBright RoomSportsGamingExpected ReliabilityBrightnessBlack LevelColorMotion HandlingGame Mode ResponsivenessProcessing (In Development)Resolution:4kNative Refresh Rate:165HzScreen Finish:GlossyPanel Type:OLEDSub-Type:WOLEDDolby Vision:YesSee all our test resultsSizes:42" 48" 55" 65"If the Samsung S95H OLED is out of your price range, but you still want something comparable, the LG C6 OLED 2026 is a fantastic option. Colors aren't as vivid as they can be on a QD-OLED like the S95H, but they're still vibrant enough to look punchy. The TV has the same inky blacks as any OLED, and bright areas stand out well when you're watching HDR movies and shows from apps like Netflix, so it performs excellently in darker spaces like a home theater. It's a good option for rooms with some lights on, too, since it's bright enough to handle some glare, and unlike the S95H, black levels don't rise drastically during the day.
It's fully compatible with modern gaming consoles thanks to its four HDMI 2.1 ports, up to 4k @ 165Hz, and VRR to drastically reduce screen tearing. Motion is crystal-clear, so you don't have to deal with motion blur in fast-paced games. The TV runs LG's webOS, which gives you access to a large catalog of apps, so you won't have any issues finding new stuff to watch. If you're looking at the 77- and 83-inch sizes of this TV, you actually get the LG C6H OLED. These larger sizes have more vibrant colors and higher peak brightness than the smaller versions of the C6, so you're not only getting a larger TV, but also one with even better image quality.

Best Mid-Range TV At Best Buy

This TV delivers remarkably similar picture quality to the LG C6 OLED 2026, but it's not quite as bright, so it's really best-suited for a moderately-lit or dim room with little ambient light. Colors aren't as bright and vibrant as they are on the top two picks on this list, but it still delivers an excellent home theater experience, and shows look great. Other than that, it offers a nearly identical feature set to the C6, with four HDMI 2.1 ports, VRR support to reduce tearing, and great smart features. It's limited to a 120Hz refresh rate, though, which doesn't make a difference for console gamers but might disappoint some PC gamers.
Best Buy also carries a minor variant of this TV that's sold as the LG B6E OLED. It's the exact same TV, but it comes with a simpler remote control that doesn't support motion controls. Depending on local deals, you may find one cheaper than the other, so unless you really want the more advanced remote, you should just buy whichever one is cheaper in your area. It's also not available in the same range of sizes, with no 48- or 83-inch options, so if you're looking for one of those sizes, you're limited to the regular B6.

Best Lower Mid-Range TV At Best Buy
Mixed UsageHome TheaterBright RoomSportsGamingExpected ReliabilityBrightnessBlack LevelColorMotion HandlingGame Mode ResponsivenessProcessing (In Development)Resolution:4kNative Refresh Rate:165HzScreen Finish:MattePanel Type:LCDSub-Type:VADolby Vision:YesSee all our test resultsSizes:55" 65" 75" 85" 100"The best lower mid-range TV at Best Buy is the Hisense U7SG, which is a stellar Mini LED model. Blacks aren't as deep on this model as they are on the LG B6 OLED 2026, but they still look bold in a dark room, and bright areas still pop against dark backgrounds in HDR movies and shows. Its main strength is that it's a very bright TV that also features an effective matte screen coating, so you can watch the game in a very bright room without reflections being an issue. Colors are also a bit more vibrant than they are on the B6, so the image looks very punchy. Unfortunately, it has a narrow viewing angle, especially when compared to the OLED options. This means its image quality degrades when you're seated at an angle to the screen, so it's not ideal for large group settings.
The TV has four HDMI 2.1 ports that support 4k @ 165Hz, 1080p @ 330Hz, and VRR to nearly eliminate screen tearing, so you can take advantage of your modern gaming console or PC. However, there's more motion blur than there is on the LG, but motion still looks pretty clear. This model uses the popular Google TV OS, which has a massive catalog of apps to download.

Best Budget TV At Best Buy
Mixed UsageHome TheaterBright RoomSportsGamingExpected ReliabilityBrightnessBlack LevelColorMotion HandlingGame Mode ResponsivenessProcessing (In Development)Resolution:4kNative Refresh Rate:120HzScreen Finish:MattePanel Type:LCDSub-Type:IPSDolby Vision:YesSee all our test resultsSizes:43" 50" 55" 65" 75" 85" 100"The Sony BRAVIA 3 II is the best budget TV available at Best Buy that we've tested. While this TV is a bit expensive for a budget model, and it delivers significantly worse picture quality than the Hisense U7SG, it offers a few advantages over other budget picks that make it worth considering. It has four HDMI 2.1 bandwidth ports, whereas most budget models only have two, if they have any at all. This gives you more flexibility when connecting your devices and allows you to take full advantage of multiple consoles. It also has a much wider viewing angle than even the Hisense U7SG, making it a much better choice for a wide seating area. Finally, Best Buy carries it in smaller sizes than the Hisense U7SG, with 43- and 50-inch models that are great for a bedroom or other small spaces.
As for picture quality, it's mediocre overall. It's a decent choice for a bright room, as its anti-reflective coating does a great job reducing glare from direct reflections. It looks far worse in a dark or dim room, though, as it has very low contrast, poor black uniformity, and no local dimming. On the plus side, it has a great selection of extra features, including VRR support to reduce screen tearing and a high 120Hz refresh rate.

Best Cheap TV At Best Buy

It delivers noticeably worse picture quality than the Sony BRAVIA 3 II, with low contrast, no local dimming, low peak brightness, and poor reflection handling. Room choice is essential, as it doesn't look good in either a very dark or a very bright room, but a moderately-lit room is okay.
It also has fewer extra features than the Sony, with no HDMI 2.1 bandwidth and a limited 60Hz refresh rate, but it does support VRR to reduce screen tearing. You'll still find a great selection of smart features, though, and its built-in Tizen smart interface has a huge selection of streaming apps. Best Buy carries it in most of the same sizes as the Sony, including smaller options, but there's no 100-inch model.
Notable Mentions
-
LG G6 OLED:
The LG G6 OLED shares many of the same gaming features as the Samsung S95H OLED, such as four HDMI 2.1 ports capable of up to 4k @ 165Hz with VRR.
It has very impressive colors, but it still doesn't match the level of vividness you get from the Samsung. The LG also doesn't do as good a job at reducing the intensity of reflections, making the Samsung the slightly more versatile TV.
See our review -
Sony BRAVIA 9 II:
The Sony BRAVIA 9 II is a fantastic TV that's better than the Samsung S95H OLED for a purely bright room. It gets a lot brighter and has a similar anti-glare coating, so bright lights aren't at all distracting. It's also significantly more expensive, and since the S95H is bright enough for most people, it's the better choice.
See our review -
Samsung S90H OLED:
The Samsung S90H OLED is a great alternative to the LG C6 OLED 2026 if you mostly use your TV in a bright room.
The TV's matte coating does a phenomenal job
overcoming glare, so reflections aren't an issue at all. However, the LG
is brighter, has better image processing, and supports Dolby Vision, making it the better TV overall.

Our recommendations above are what we think is currently the best TV to purchase at Best Buy for most people in each price range.
