Best Buy's Cyber Monday deal of the day just turned this 4K 65-inch TV into a steal

Daniel Meagher — Sun, 26 Nov 2023 05:06:05 GMT

Insignia's F30 Series television was already a killer bargain, and with Black Friday and Cyber Monday price cuts, it's even better than ever. Indeed, the $500 base price has been slashed by $160, bringing the current price down to $340. That's the kind of Cyber Monday Weekend deal that we look for, and you likely won't find such discounts at any other time of the year. But with the day coming to an end in a couple of hours, you might want to nab it before it's gone.

If you're shopping for an OLED TV on Black Friday, this LG model is only $847

Dave LeClair — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 16:45:19 GMT

OLED TVs offer some of the most gorgeous picture quality you can find. OLED screens provide a level of realism that LEDs and LCDs can't achieve. The 55-inch LG B2 is a fantastic TV with all the smart features you could ever want, including Alexa support, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, and Apple AirPlay. It's a stellar TV at its regular price, but it's a steal at the all-time low price of $847. Whether you're looking to get someone you love a lovely gift this holiday season or want a nice new TV for yourself, this is the deal to get.

Sonos plots its move into TV and video streaming but what can the company offer that's unique?

Chris Hall — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 12:28:45 GMT

As the Adele song goes, rumour has it that Sonos is planning to break into a new segment of the market, one it has been sitting on the periphery of for the last decade. The 2013 Playbar was the first venture into home theatre, one that's been focused solely on speakers so far.

Bridgerton season 3: Everything we know so far

Britta O'Boyle — Fri, 17 Nov 2023 21:36:22 GMT

Glossy period drama (with much more sex and scandal) - Bridgerton - first graced Netflix in late 2020 and it was excellent. It was the TV series that had us all hooked on Lady Whistledown's detailing of the events from start to finish, further fuelled by the second season that hit our screens in March 2022.

Sony X85L review: Quietly brilliant

John Archer — Fri, 17 Nov 2023 10:00:22 GMT

While Sony has long excelled with its high-end LCD and OLED TVs, it's struggled to really make a major splash with its mid-range LCD offering. Its X80 series have been consistently inconsistent due to its tendency to mix and match IPS and VA types of LCD panel, and while its step-up X85 series has typically been solid, it hasn't quite had enough going on to stand out from the ultra-competitive mid-range crowd.

Take $70 off this 40-inch Amazon Fire TV ahead of Black Friday

Kristopher Jensen — Thu, 16 Nov 2023 18:50:49 GMT

Amazon's move into smart TVs makes a lot of sense. They already have experience making displays for tablets and the like, and with an in-house streaming service, it's a smart move to also make a little money on the devices they stream. They've quickly carved out a niche in budget-friendly displays with solid picture quality and cool bonus features, and right now you can get a 40-inch UHD smart TV for just $180.

Even if the LG C3 isn't discounted for Black Friday this year, it's still worth buying

Joe Hindy — Wed, 15 Nov 2023 22:31:21 GMT

When I get the chance to geek out about tech I not only own, but enjoy using every day, I jump at the chance to write about it. And with Black Friday shopping looming almost directly on the horizon, I've started to browse deals myself ans noticed that my favorite TV, the LG C3, is on sale at Best Buy at the time of writing. But even if it isn't on sale, I would purchase it again - in fact, when I bought this TV a month ago, I didn't get it at much of a discount -- and given how I think this TV excels in every way, I don't regret it. In fact, when we reviewed the LG C3, Pocket-lint's TV expert Verity Burns also praised its performance, giving it 4.5/5 stars and noting the "refined, detailed picture performance" along with the impressive smart TV interface.

What is Immersive Audio Model and Formats? Samsung's 3D audio tech explained

Adrian Sobolewski-Kiwerski — Wed, 15 Nov 2023 20:01:21 GMT

For the longest time, the biggest deal when looking for a great home theater setup was the screen of your TV or your projector. It is, of course, the most obvious one - it shows you the picture that you want to see. However, many people forget what is often as crucial as the image - the audio.

Best streaming devices 2023

Max Freeman-Mills — Tue, 14 Nov 2023 16:00:24 GMT

The Hunger Game prequel: Release date, trailer, more

Corey Picaro — Mon, 13 Nov 2023 15:00:24 GMT

It officially lands in theatres and cinemas around the world on 17 November, meaning by the time you've read this guide it may already be out and available to watch.

Max Freeman-Mills — Sun, 12 Nov 2023 16:01:22 GMT

I've been using Sky Live and here's what I think

Britta O'Boyle — Thu, 09 Nov 2023 10:00:22 GMT

Sky introduced a new product earlier this year; only it was a little different to the norm. The company already launched its Sky Protect home insurance offering in 2023 - which admittedly was also different to its usual announcements - but Sky Live is in a realm of its own. While there are some products out there that do some of what Sky Live does, there's nothing really out there that does all of what it is capable of.

Amazon Fire TV Cube (3rd Gen, 2022) review

Verity Burns — Thu, 09 Nov 2023 08:16:30 GMT

Despite a recently refreshed Amazon Fire Stick lineup, the Fire TV Cube is still the top dog of Amazon's streaming lineup. Now, in its third generation, it brings some improvements, such as a faster processor and better connectivity, while sticking to its original MO of being a Fire TV Stick and Echo speaker in one.

Best Amazon Fire TV 2023

Saeed Wazir — Tue, 07 Nov 2023 21:23:48 GMT

There's no need to buy a separate Fire Stick dongle if you have a user-friendly Fire TV with all the streaming apps baked into the OS. The best Amazon Fire TVs are often more affordable than rivals with similar specs and include excellent Alexa integration to control your smart home devices. We test monitors, projectors and TVs all year to see what they offer and whether they're worth recommending to buyers.

What is Plex, how to use it, and what devices support it?

Abhinav Lal — Fri, 03 Nov 2023 15:00:23 GMT

Plex, in its latest avatar, is a popular entertainment platform that has two major components - a streaming service and a client-server media player. The client-server media player lets you create a server of all your media files (movies, TV shows, music, and photos) so that you can access them on-the-go via Plex media player apps and web browsers on almost any device.

This 65-inch 4K LED Smart TV is down to its lowest ever price

Peter Holden — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 19:01:09 GMT

There's something to be said for having the family round for the big game with grandma's chili served up in large quantities and seeing your favorite receiver score that all-important touchdown in every exquisite pixel on your big 4K smart TV. And if you don't have one already, there's no time like the present to get your hands on a wall-busting 65-inch smart TV with 4K resolution and built-in smarts at an affordable price.

Best TVs under $500 2023

Alex Williams — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 13:00:21 GMT

Finding a quality television worthwhile under $500 used to be a difficult mission to accomplish. But in recent years, we've found that you can get the latest features you'd expect in higher end models with TVs under $500. Specs like 4K ultra-high definition displays, huge screens measuring up to 165 centimeters, and streaming services to watch your favorite movies and TV shows are available for a lot less than when they first hit the scene.

These portable projectors have apps built-in so you can Netflix and chill any time

Oliver Haslam — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 08:04:08 GMT

Nebula, the smart entertainment arm of the popular accessory outfit Anker, has announced not just one but two new portable projectors that have a highly requested feature built in.

Britta O'Boyle — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 09:00:20 GMT

Disney+ has changed up its subscription plans in the UK and Europe, with three options now available, and one of those is cheaper than the original single-tier option too. The streaming service now has a Standard with Ads tier, a Standard tier and a Premium tier, with the former starting at just £4.99 a month in the UK and €5.99 in Europe. For reference, for those in the US, the ad-supported tier is already available after launching in October - called Disney+ Basic - and it costs $7.99 a month, with the Disney+ Premium tier costing $10.99 a month.

Adrian Sobolewski-Kiwerski — Sat, 28 Oct 2023 14:30:24 GMT

Best Apple TV deals: Budget friendly and easy streaming

Gabriela Vatu — Thu, 26 Oct 2023 16:26:54 GMT

Apple TV has long been a popular choice for those looking for an all-in-one entertainment hub.

However, with so many options now available on the market, it can be difficult for consumers to make a choice. We put together this list to highlight the latest Apple TV deals and showcase the usefulness of its main features.

The Panasonic MZ2000 is the ultimate home cinema package

Verity Burns — Thu, 26 Oct 2023 07:38:52 GMT

For a lot of flagship TVs this year, brightness has been a key focus - and no more so than for "traditional" OLEDs, for which this has standardly been one of their biggest weaknesses.

Sony A95L review: Wow factor

John Archer — Sun, 22 Oct 2023 20:58:46 GMT

As was the case when the technology debuted last year, just two brands have embraced QD-OLED TVs for 2023: Samsung and Sony. Samsung's support was inevitable, of course, given that the South Korean brand invented the technology as an alternative to the 'regular' WRGB OLED TVs, made popular by LG, that it's refused to use for more than a decade.

Philips OLED808 review: A stunning mid-range OLED

Steve May — Sat, 21 Oct 2023 22:35:36 GMT

The 55-inch OLED808 is part of Philips' 2023 8-Series family, which also comprises 48-, 65- and 77-inch models. It may not be the flagship model for this year, but there are two big reasons to pay attention to this particular Ambilight TV.

Samsung QN90C review: Bright and beautiful

John Archer — Wed, 18 Oct 2023 12:08:05 GMT

As much as we loved Samsung's flagship 4K Mini LED TV for 2023, the QN95C range, for some regions - including the US - this flagship telly is sadly absent from the lineup. Instead, that job is reserved for the QN90C.

Best budget TVs under $300 2023

Alex Williams — Fri, 13 Oct 2023 19:29:18 GMT

Tech is fast, and televisions are no exception to the rule, as they become both more affordable and advanced with robust features. The trend of how we enjoy our entertainment may be shifted to mobile and desktop devices, but there is still a distinct charm and place for watching your favorite shows and movies on a TV. Watching an engrossing series, especially as a family or in a group setting, is a viewing experience that just isn't quite replicated on other devices.

Hisense U7K review: Ridiculously affordable

John Archer — Thu, 12 Oct 2023 14:00:34 GMT

The more I see of Mini LED technology, the more convinced I am that it's the LCD TV technology of the future. Last year, though, Hisense had the unfortunate privilege of being the one brand that bucked the generally positive Mini LED trend by creating something of a territorial battleground when it came to picture quality.

LG's gorgeous 48-inch OLED gaming monitor is on sale for just $800

Joe Hindy — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 10:00:35 GMT

LG makes some of the best OLED TVs that you can buy. We're big fans of the LG C3, and the company has some of the longest-lasting OLED panels on the market. So, when the 48-inch LG Ultragear OLED gaming monitor went on sale for $800, we knew it was something special. The monitor has never been discounted this much before, and it's cheaper than a 48-inch LG C3. This is one of those deals that only comes along once in a blue moon.

Sony X95L review: Closing the gap

John Archer — Sun, 08 Oct 2023 09:00:30 GMT

At the start of 2023, pretty much all the TV tech buzz was around OLED TV technologies. Whether it was the new micro lens array system LG had added to its LG G3 or the second, much-improved generation of Samsung's Quantum Dot-infused take on OLED in the S95C, the chatter was all about which OLED TV would conquer the world. LCD scarcely got a look in.

On October 10th and 11th, we're going to see some pretty cool items during the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, but we don't think this particular model will be any cheaper.

Best 42-inch TV 2023: The best small TVs to buy now

Verity Burns — Thu, 28 Sep 2023 23:23:37 GMT

If you take a look at the TV industry in recent years, you'd be forgiven for thinking that no one wants a television any smaller than 55 inches.
