I’m moving back to Ontario this month from the UK and will want to buy a mid-range TV (50" or so). Where do people go these days? There must be alternatives to Best Buy.
Kijiji
Moving out sales on kijiji and Facebook marketplace.
I got mine at Costco.
Costco or Best Buy is where i checked when i was shopping.
Costco. No bullshit return policy 90 days
I got a 50” tv for $50 by just constantly checking fb marketplace and lots of patience
Mine was from Bestbuy. Would definitely check Costco if close.
Got a 70 inch Samsung at Walmart for like 600usd. Super happy with it. Literally thousands of free internet channels. Had to augment my stand but it works.
Last TVs we bought were ordered from Newegg, but they were smaller dumb panels. If you only care about the size and not other features, check Kijiji and other secondhand markets.
I would stay away from home furnishing stores if you can help it. Not that they don’t sell great TVs at market rate, but they all sell different TVs. These are TVs that are by the same brand, have incredibly similar specs, but have slightly different model numbers exclusive to the retailer so you can’t price match or bargain hunt. Personally I bought a 55" Samsung QLED from Teppermans, but I would recommend Costco or Canada Computers for better selection. If contrast ratio and HDR settings aren’t critical for you, you can pretty much go anywhere and find a 50" 4K set for probably <$1000.
If you’re in the Toronto area, Visions electronics has good deals sometimes.
Canada Computers sells TVs. Walmart sells mostly crappy TVs.
