For budget TVs, TCL, Hiscense, Vizio are the brands you will see.
For mid to higher end TVs, Sony, LG and Samsung is what you want to buy.

Most of the less expensive TVs use LCD panels where the more expensive and the best TVs use OLED or Quantum Dot OLED panels.

I'm a professional TV calibrator and have worked in the industry for many years.
My recommendation for the Best TV is Sony A95K, Samsung S95B and LG C2 or G2. Especially if you only buy a TV every 5-10 years.
For anything else, TCL and Vizio are good budget TVs. The rest are not that great. Many of these $400 TVs are throw away sets.

If you like to buy online i can recommend Value Electronics at valueelectronics.com or you can call them at 914-723-3344 They sell everything at the same price as Best Buy but you don't pay sales tax outside of NY. They are premium retailers for many of the major brands so if something goes wrong they will drop ship you a new TV.

Hope this helps. I anyone has questions feel free to PM me.

Thanks for the info. This could be a business for you
