1. Best Buy

BEST OVERALL

When you think of buying a TV, there’s a good chance that the first place that comes to your mind is Best Buy. Best Buy has been in the electronics game for over 55 years and is one of the most trusted places to buy a TV online or in person. Best Buy makes it incredibly convenient to find the TV you’re looking for. The variety ranges from 32 inch TVs all the way up to 85 inch TVs and larger, and you can categorize between indoor and outdoor TVs as well as resolution. Best Buy is constantly updating their TV inventory as well, so TV deals pop up often even when there isn’t a holiday. And you can pay for mounting installation through the Geek Squad.

2. Walmart

BEST BUDGET

Walmart is going for Amazon’s throne of the best online retailer. You can virtually get just about anything at Walmart and finding a great deal on a TV is no different. Walmart has a wide selection of TVs, everything from TVs under $200 to best-in-class LG OLED TVs that produce incredible contrast and picture quality. You can even score a 70-inch TV at Walmart for under $600. If that isn’t variety, we don’t know what is. Walmarts are everywhere, too, so if you don’t feel comfortable having your new TV shipped to you, often times you can pick it up locally. Walmart is a great place to buy a TV, plain and simple.

3. Amazon

BEST DELIVERY

When you don’t want to go into a brick and mortar electronic store, but you still want your new TV delivered to you quickly, Amazon is the way to go. It truly is amazing you can buy a new 65-inch TV and it magically shows up on your doorstep two days later (sometimes even just one day if you are lucky). Amazon also shows what day your TV is going to arrive as well as the time, so you don’t have a $1,500 TV sitting on your front porch for hours on end. Like Best Buy, you can also pay for additional services to have your TV installed on a wall mount if you don’t trust yourself to mount it by your lonesome.

4. Target

GREAT FOR SMALL TVS AND ACCESSORIES

Target is one of the most convenient online shopping experiences when you are looking for a TV, especially a small TV and accessories. Target quickly provides you with a list of sound bars, streaming devices and even has a tool mount finder tool so you can find the correct TV mount for the TV you’ve selected. Beyond accessories, you can also find cheap small TVs that are 24 inches for under $150. But that’s not all that Target offers. Of course, you’ll be able to find the biggest and best TVs there as well.

5. Costco

GREAT FOR MEMBERS

If you have a Costco membership, it is definitely worth it to purchase your TV from the same place you buy your food in bulk. Costco members can get a 2% annual reward — pretty much an annual credit at the beginning of the following year — as well as additional warranty coverage, a 90-day return policy and free technical support when you purchase a TV through Costco. Plus you can pay for installation so you don’t have to worry about it. It’s worth it to be a Costco member, especially if you are looking for a new TV.

6. Overstock

NICE PRICE FILTER OPTIONS

Those with a strict budget will appreciate shopping for a TV on Overstock. The “Deals Under (price)” buttons make it incredibly easy to filter TVs under specific price ranges so you only see the TVs that you can afford. Overstock provides a number of opportunities to save money on TVs, too. For instance, first-time Overstock users can save 15% on a TV right out of the gate by providing an email address. And Overstock constantly has deals on TVs to free up room for new inventory. There’s a wide selection of TVs that vary in both size and price.
