LG 65-Inch OLED Smart TV Deal
Shopping for a new TV this football season? Even if you’re not into sports, this big, beautiful LG screen is one of the best deals of the week, with Amazon delivering a steep 41% price cut. The LG C6 delivers on every possible aspect for a modern-day TV, earning an Editors’ Choice award in our review thanks to its pristine picture quality, improved brightness, and strong streaming features. PCMag expert Will Greenwald declared that it was “the best midrange OLED TV out this year.” LG’s WebOS software comes with all the major streamers preinstalled and supports local streaming through Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, and Miracast/WiDi. It also includes a hands-free voice assistant for Google Hub and Matter devices. Finally, it’s awesome for gaming as well, with a refresh rate of up to 165 hertz and support for AMD FreeSync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync.

Beats Studio Buds Headphones Deal
Looking for a new pair of headphones that deliver solid audio quality at a nice price? Woot has a massive discount on the Beats Studio Buds, a capable and comfortable set of earbuds that sound good in any situation, especially if you’re a fan of deep bass. You can read our full review for all the details, but they check off all of the boxes we expect, including capable active noise cancellation, one-touch pairing with Android and iOS devices, and effective on-ear controls. Apple fans also get spatial audio compatibility and Find My Device. The built-in multi-mic array also delivers good sound reproduction for phone calls. For this price, you’ll be hard-pressed to find better earbuds, but it’s Woot, so they could vanish at any time.

Ring Battery Doorbell 2K and Indoor Cam Plus Deal
Here’s an easy way to get a smart security system up and running at a sweet sticker price. Amazon’s Ring devices are easy to set up and offer a robust set of features. This deal gets you both a versatile video doorbell and a pocket-sized camera that you can position to cover just about any interior area. In our review of the Ring Battery Doorbell, we were impressed by how simple installation was, noting that its wide field of view gave us head-to-toe images of visitors and packages, and support for Alexa and IFTTT smart systems made larger integrations a breeze. Note that to unlock certain advanced features and store videos in the cloud, you’ll need a Ring subscription, but you’re saving enough here to cover a year of it.

JBL Bar 1300X Soundbar Deal
Looking for home theater audio that matches your new TV’s visual sizzle? The JBL Bar 1300X is a potent system that packs a ton of presence into just a few small components. We gave this one an Editors’ Choice award, impressed by its rich, accurate spatial audio with multiple height channels, potent subwoofer-driven bass, and wireless rear satellites that can be removed from the main unit and positioned around the room for even more engrossing surround sound. Connectivity is also impressive, with wired HDMI eARC and optical audio joining Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi 6 with Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM), Apple AirPlay, and Google Cast. You can read our full review for all the details, but our only real sticking point was the list price, so a serious 36% discount at Amazon handles that.

Gigabyte A16 Gaming Laptop
16-inch 1920×1200 display, Intel Core i7-13620H CPU, GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD
Walmart has some surprising deals on laptops right now, so if you’re interested in getting into PC gaming but don’t want to spend your retirement savings, this Gigabyte machine is well worth your time at a little over a thousand bucks. Just from pure component costs, you’re already getting your money’s worth, with a peppy 13th-generation Intel Core i7 processor more than capable of running whatever you throw at it, along with a full 1TB SSD. Graphics-wise, you can read our review of the Blackwell-series RXT 5060 to learn more about how well it performs, but to summarize, it’s one of the best GPUs on the market for 1080p and light 1440p gaming. Throw in a good-looking screen, a backlit keyboard, and plenty of ports, and you have a real contender.
