He's only a phone call away if you get home and can't remember how to do something. We bought our 2nd tv from him about 18 months ago along with a speaker bar which recently stopped working. Mark literally bent over backwards to help us diagnose and fix the issue. I kept thinking "can you imagine if we had purchased through Best Buy and tried to get help 18 months after the purchase?" Big Screen has competitive prices and is there for you when you need it. Only place we'll ever buy a tv!

I recently purchased a Samsung S90D from this location and want to share both the positives and…read moreareas of concern from my experience. On the positive side, the in-store experience was pleasant. I knew exactly which TV model I wanted, and the salesperson was friendly and efficient in getting everything checked out and scheduled for delivery. My only feedback on the purchasing experience is that the store prominently advertises "lower in-store prices" on every page of their website, yet I discovered after my purchase that I had paid more than the online price. To their credit, the manager refunded the difference when I pointed it out, but the website claim feels disingenuous and highlights a communication gap within the company. The real issues began with the TV mounting service. When purchasing the TV, I made it clear I did not need any outlet run or extra electrical work--just a straightforward mounting. Unfortunately, the installers drilled unauthorized holes in my accent wall and ran the TV's power cable behind the wall in a way that violates Fairfax City electrical code (NEC 400.8 is clear on this point). While they insisted this is "common practice," it's still a liability issue and something that should have been discussed with me first. Especially when drilling holes into a customer's accent wall where an unsightly wall plate was not wanted. Additionally, the wall plate installed under the TV was secured improperly--directly into drywall instead of using a bracket--meaning it will eventually loosen and fall out. For the hole they drilled behind the TV, they installed no wall plate at all. They also left the work area messy: drywall dust on the mount, dusty handprints on the back of the TV and the power cable, and marks on my freshly painted accent wall. Most disappointing, they scratched the back of the TV on both sides while installing the mounting rails. While the store refunded the installation fee after I raised these concerns, they never truly acknowledged the poor workmanship or the code and liability issues their install practices created. I spent far more time fixing the aftermath than I would have if I had mounted the TV myself--and my TV now has blemishes that reduce its resale value which the store also refused to acknowledge. Overall, while the purchase started well, the installation was the worst I have experienced. A company's true colors show in how they respond to legitimate concerns, and unfortunately The Big Screen Store fell short. I hope they take this feedback as an opportunity to improve communication, installation standards, and accountability.

So glad I did, I love my monitor so much it and appreciate his recommendations and expertise. The best part of the store is all the models that I was looking for online were physically in the store, so I could compare and contrast quality. Fantastic experience, I'll definitely be returning here for my future electronic needs.

I drove from…read morethe city to get it diagnosed and the repair guy wouldn't even look at it which was super frustrating. He recommended other repair stores but why have a support area if you won't even bother trying to diagnose an issue much less fix it? No pricing on any packaging was also weird but they do have a website that's mostly usable. Cashiers can also check prices and stock for you. I ended up buying a few games just so I didn't go out there for nothing but was pretty disappointed based on the services offered on the website. The selection of games is really solid but I don't recommend them for tech support.

There is a shortage of repair techs in the area, we were quoted a month for the repair which was the same as the other shops. Regardless, our repair was completed and at least 30% cheaper than the competitors. The shop is huge and had so much fun merch, my sons and husband were loving exploring their huge selection of games, while I was checking out their kawaii hello kitty plushies and caps. A little bit out of the way, but definitely worth the trip to support this local business!

I came in to return an item that I believed was covered under my Total membership plan. When I was told it wasn't eligible, I was surprised and simply asked a few clarifying questions. The associate quickly became frustrated and responded in a dismissive tone, saying there was nothing he could do. I remained calm and asked to speak with a manager, only to be told that he was the manager. I then requested to speak with the General Manager. The associate walked a few feet away to the break room where the GM, Jeffery Williams, was and discussed my situation within earshot. When Jeffery came out, he already seemed irritated. Instead of engaging professionally, he immediately cut me off mid-sentence and said, "Yeah, you don't have a warranty protection," making it clear he had no interest in helping or even listening. When I asked for his business card, he didn't address me directly. Instead, he yelled at the associate to give me a card and walked away. I've been a loyal Best Buy customer for over 15 years. I'm a credit card holder, Total member, and have purchased appliances for two homes, 8+ TVs, and multiple Apple products. This interaction was the final straw. Stefan Mcclinnahan represents exactly what's wrong with retail customer service today. There was no accountability, no effort to resolve the issue, and no basic level of respect. Experiences like this are why long-time customers walk away.

This Best Buy has everything you're looking for and has a nice layout, with plenty of employees that are willing to help and are friendly at that. Best Buy deals are usually a steal or not. I was a big fan of their tech support plan, but it doesn't have the sweet deals it used too, but I do like how there are options. The warranties are worth just slow down to read what works for you and what doesn't. Also they currently have service fees which makes sense in case of an accident. Again cannot say enough great things about this Best Buy!
