Local Better Deal Days · Oct 1–7
Better Deal Days — check with us before you buy on Amazon
Amazon Big Deal Days are Oct 6–7. If you are shopping for a TV in Maryland or Virginia, compare with The Big Screen Store first. In practice we are always cheaper out the door — typically our price matches Amazon’s and we pay the sales tax. Often the price is lower, and we still pay the tax. If we are ever not cheaper (rare), we beat Amazon’s price.

Why locals check with us first
- Out-the-door price — Match or beat Amazon in practice; we pay sales tax on qualifying TVs. Details: we pay your sales tax.
- 10 showrooms — Maryland & Virginia — see OLED, Neo QLED, The Frame, and big sizes in person.
- White-glove, local — Delivery and setup in our service area — not a porch drop from a truck you never meet again.
How Better Deal Days works
- Pick the size and series you are considering (or bring the Amazon link).
- Visit a showroom or call — we will price it clearly out the door.
- Buy local — showroom, phone, or site if you are in our delivery area.
We also sell on Amazon. This page is not about avoiding Amazon — it is about checking the local out-the-door number first.
Price vs Amazon (plain language)
| Situation | What locals usually see |

| Often | TBSS sticker lower than Amazon and tax paid |
| Rare | If we are not cheaper, we beat Amazon’s price |
Why a showroom still matters during Big Deal Days
- Side-by-side picture — brightness, reflection, and size at a real room distance
- Honest fit for your room — bright living room vs darker theater space
- Delivery and wall-mount planning with the same local team
- Support after the sale from people who are still here
