This may be off-topic, but please be kind.

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.

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.
