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. For more options, look at 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. If you have a large room with seating off to the sides, this TV is a perfect fit, as its image quality remains consistent even when viewed from an angle.
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 RoomSportsGamingBrightnessBlack 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. However, it struggles more in well-lit spaces, since reflections are visible on the screen. It even has a wide viewing angle, making it a great option for larger spaces.
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
Mixed UsageHome TheaterBright RoomSportsGamingBrightnessBlack 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 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 C6 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 a bit more vibrant than they are on the LG C6 OLED 2026, 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 Lower Mid-Range TV At Best Buy
Mixed UsageHome TheaterBright RoomSportsGamingBrightnessBlack LevelColorMotion HandlingGame Mode ResponsivenessProcessing (In Development)Resolution:4kNative Refresh Rate:144HzScreen Finish:GlossyPanel Type:LCDSub-Type:VADolby Vision:YesSee all our test resultsSizes:55" 65" 75" 85" 98"If the Hisense U7SG fits your needs, but it's out of your price range, you can go with the cheaper TCL QM7K and still get a great TV overall. It's dimmer than the Hisense, but it's still bright enough to handle glare from indirect lighting. However, unlike the Hisense, any lamps or windows facing the TV do cause mirror-like reflections. There's a bit more glow around bright lights and subtitles than there is on the Hisense, but blacks still look bold. Colors aren't quite as vibrant, and bright areas don't pop out as much against darker backgrounds in HDR content, but they still stand out well enough for an impactful experience. Its viewing angle is relatively narrow, so it's best to sit directly in front of the screen for the best experience.
Beyond its solid image quality, this model offers similar gaming features to those of the Hisense. With two HDMI 2.1 ports, support for 4k @ 144Hz, 1080p @ 288Hz, and VRR, it's a great choice for both console and PC gamers. Like the Hisense, it runs the Google TV OS, so you won't have any issues finding your favorite streaming apps.

Best Budget TV At Best Buy
Mixed UsageHome TheaterBright RoomSportsGamingBrightnessBlack LevelColorMotion HandlingGame Mode ResponsivenessProcessing (In Development)Resolution:4kNative Refresh Rate:144HzScreen Finish:GlossyPanel Type:LCDSub-Type:VADolby Vision:YesSee all our test resultsSizes:55" 65" 75" 85" 98"If you like the features of the TCL QM7K but need something more budget-friendly, the TCL QM6K is the best budget TV you can get at Best Buy. You don't get the same level of image quality as the higher-end model, but it's still pretty good. Colors are more muted on this model, but they don't look desaturated, so you still enjoy somewhat vibrant and pleasing colors. Blacks aren't as bold, but they're still deep enough to add depth to the image, especially for a budget model. Sadly, the TV is noticeably dimmer, so bright areas don't pop as much against dark backgrounds in HDR movies and shows, but they stand out enough that the image doesn't look flat. Fortunately, the TV is just bright enough for use in well-lit rooms, provided there are no direct light sources facing the screen.
It has the same set of features as the more expensive model, so you still get two HDMI 2.1 ports, 4k @ 144Hz, 1080p @ 288Hz, VRR, and fairly clear motion. Like the QM7K, it has a narrow viewing angle, so you want to be seated directly in front of the screen to enjoy the best possible image quality. Like our last two picks, it runs the Google TV OS, so you still have access to the same massive catalog of apps.

Best Cheap TV At Best Buy
Mixed UsageHome TheaterBright RoomSportsGamingBrightnessBlack LevelColorMotion HandlingGame Mode ResponsivenessProcessing (In Development)Resolution:4kNative Refresh Rate:60HzScreen Finish:GlossyPanel Type:LCDSub-Type:VADolby Vision:YesSee all our test resultsSizes:43" 50" 55" 65" 75" 85" 100"If you just want something cheap that gets the job done, the Hisense QD6QF fits that criteria. Unlike the TCL QM6K, blacks look grayish, which leads to an image that looks a bit flat. Bright colors look muted compared to the TCL, and dark colors aren't very rich, but since the TV still displays a wide range of colors, the image doesn't look lifeless. Unfortunately, it's too dim for bright areas to truly stand out against darker backgrounds, so movies and shows in HDR look flat and lackluster. The TV is just bright enough to use in a room with a few overhead lights on without being distracted by reflections, but visibility is an issue in bright rooms.
You won't find HDMI 2.1 or many other modern gaming features on this model, but it still supports 4k @ 60Hz, which is fine for casual gamers. Unfortunately, fast motion is quite blurry on this model, especially in fast-paced games. It utilizes the Fire TV OS, which has a smaller catalog of apps to download compared to Google TV and tends to run a bit slower, but you can still easily find all common streaming apps like Netflix and Prime Video.
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 of a job at reducing the intensity of reflections, making the Samsung the slightly more versatile TV.
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.
See our review -
LG B5 OLED:
The LG B5 OLED is an alternative to the Hisense U7SG if you're not in a bright room and prefer the inky blacks, superior motion clarity, and wide viewing angle OLEDs offer. However, the Hisense outshines the LG overall with its significantly brighter panel, better reflection handling, more well-rounded feature set, and versatility.
See our review -
Hisense U75QG:
The Hisense U75QG is similar to the TCL QM7K, but it offers better peak brightness. Unfortunately, the Hisense makes HDR content look much brighter than intended and has more apparent motion blur. Since the TCL offers clearer motion and has superior contrast, it's the better TV overall.
See our review -
Hisense U65QF:
The Hisense U65QF is a brighter alternative to the TCL QM6K. Unfortunately, the Hisense really overbrightens HDR content, so it doesn't stay true to the content creator's intent. The TCL offers a more complete package, with better contrast, superior accuracy, 1080p @ 288Hz, and lower input lag.
