Here’s where it gets a little nerdy. Best Buy’s policy says TVs with “normal wear and tear” are fine. But if you crack the screen because you tripped over a dog? Nope, that’s on you. They won’t take back a TV that looks like it fought a losing battle with a baseball bat.
Dead pixels? If there are more than a few, Best Buy will usually honor the return. But don’t go pixel-hunting with a magnifying glass. One tiny dead pixel is like a single gray hair—annoying, but not a crisis. They won’t swap it out for that.

The Open Box Trap (and How to Escape It)
If you bought an Open Box TV to save some cash, the same 15-day rule applies. But here’s the secret: Open Box TVs often come with a “satisfaction guarantee” sticker. That means you can return it even if you just don’t like the colors or the way it looks in your room. No judgment—we’ve all bought a TV that made our living room look like a hospital waiting area.
Just remember: Open Box TVs are already discounted for a reason. They might have a scratch on the bezel or a missing screw. Best Buy is basically saying, “We warned you.” So don’t return it because the box was a little dusty. That’s your bad, buddy.
