Best Buy is always one of the best retailers to offer significant discounts on TVs. With the chip shortage still in full swing as well as supply and demand issues, it's no secret that TV prices have jumped a bit. Those jumps shouldn't worry you, though, especially if you're shopping for a TV post-power outage and need one ASAP. We scoured the retailer for the best TV deals, so you can still find a TV that's within your price point that you'll enjoy.
