Membership has its privileges, as the well-worn slogan says, and that's definitely true when it comes to Best Buy. The big electronics retailer has a three-tiered system for shoppers. The lowest, My Best Buy, is the basic free tier, which gets you free standard shipping for online orders.
That's not bad for nothing, but the next tier up nets you a lot more: Shelling out $50 a year for My Best Buy Plus gets you free two-day shipping, 60-day returns on most products, and exclusive access to way lower prices on thousands of items. Then there's the top level, for the high rollers: My Best Buy Total gets you everything in the lower tiers, plus device protection on everything you buy, and 24/7 tech support. Check out all the membership info here.
Why are we telling you this now? Because Best Buy has launched its Holiday Sneak Peek sale to coincide with Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, and in it you'll find a bunch of deals available only to Plus or Total members. These are big honking discounts on desktops, laptops, headphones, and more. Check here for the complete listing, but what follows are some of our top picks, curated for your convenience.

Viewing angles are surprisingly wide, as well, making this a good pick for a larger room. This panel runs at a native 8K resolution and does a solid job upscaling content to look natural. It's decent for gaming, as well, thanks to a brisk refresh rate and low input lag.
