Nvidia.com - Nvidia Shield TV Streaming Player for $129
One of the most powerful streaming players that performs almost as good as a home theater PC. Normally sells for $149.

6 months of Peacock Premium is free with the purchase.

The Shield TV is a step-up from a Roku, Fire TV, and smart players built-in to today's TV's. Its value comes from its snappy interface thanks to its powerful Nvidia processor, providing smoother menu navigation, fast search, and near instant load times. It also has built-in AI that upscales 1080p content to 4K, providing almost no need to pay extra for Netflix's 4K tier. It's powerful enough to play games as well, something Roku and Fire TV cannot do, although not as good as an Xbox or Playstation, which cost a lot more.

OLED TVs can produce true black on each pixel, for better quality images especially for movies. Other displays have a gray tint when displaying black/dark images for the entire TV (LED-backlit) or sections of the TV (QLED).

Using as a heavy-use gaming or computer monitor is not recommended because of burn-in, see this video which shows LG OLED displays last for just a year until they develop damaging "burn in" problems.

- Samsung 85-inch QLED TV for $2500, 5 year warranty

Newegg.com - Polycom OBi202 Home Telephone Internet Adapter for $53
(expired)

(repost)

Polycom (formerly Obihai) OBi202 2-Line Voice-Over-IP Telephone Adapter for $53 with coupon 93XSA97 . Normally sells for about $80.

This two-line Voice-over-IP adapter handles incoming and outgoing calls for up to 2 phones and numbers. Homes and small businesses that talk on the phone, and don't want to use a cell phone, can hook up a regular old wired or cordless phone.

Call quality works as good as your Internet connection, which for most people, is usually better than mobile phone service. And, Google Voice is free and works just like most phone services.

A cheaper way to get free phone service without even buying a voice-over-IP box is convert an old cell phone into a Google Voice phone, free over WiFi. Download the Google Voice app on any iOS or Android phone, even an old phone, and you can make & receive phone calls over WiFi without paying for any phone service. However if you go down this route, free video chat apps (FaceTime, Google Meet, Zoom, etc.) are better ways to connect than phone calls.

Walmart.com - Android Streaming Media Player for $20
Onn is a Walmart owned electronics company, and sells an Android TV streaming media player for $20. It works similarly to a Chromecast, with a built-in Android TV operating system and compatible with Android TV apps.

A product review from July mentions buggy software, but other reviews like this review and this review think it's a good value.

Newegg.com - Polycom OBi200 Home Telephone Internet Adapter for $40
(expired)

(repost)

The Polycom OBi200 Voice-over-IP Telephone Adapter is on sale for $40 when applying code 93XSA84 Normally about $50-60.

The OBI200 bridges a regular old telephone (cordless phone) with an Internet telephone service. It is compatible with free Google Voice which provides a free phone number, unlimited calling within the U.S. and Canada, and voicemail with transcribing.

As a cheaper alternative, you can achieve the same thing with any smart phone and wifi home network. Sign-in for free Google Voice, and use the Google Voice app on any current or old smart phone. The phone will work over WiFi, without paying for any mobile phone service.

Another thing to know is 911 emergency service does not work over Google Voice. Using the OBi200, emergency calls can be added for about $20 per year. A home phone with 911 improves emergency response time because 911 calls transmit your home address to dispatchers without saying a word.

Ebay.com - 5-Pack CREE Flashlights for $20
A reputable eBay seller is offering a 5-pack of UltraFire Tactical 50,000 lumens CREE Flashlights for $20 with free shipping. Each require a pricey 18650 lithium ion battery to operate at full brightness (battery not included).

The description does say that it may work with AAA batteries, but the size an 18650 battery is equal to about 3 AAA batteries, and it is unclear if an adapter is included. Adapters cost about $6 for 3.

Newegg.com - APC 675VA UPS for $55, Maybe $45
(expired)

(repost)

This $55 APC 675VA UPS is back. Other similar ones sell for $65.

Newegg is giving select accounts a $10 discount when using code SPECIAL4U in the cart. If your Newegg account is eligible, the price is $45.

The APC keeps electronics powered during an electrical outage. Its 675VA capacity can power a cable modem, router, or wifi access point for 45-60 minutes. For example, our electrician recently turned off the house's power while fixing some wiring, and this APC kept the Internet and WiFi up.

Beware that your $55 investment will last for just 3-5 years. All batteries have an expiration date, and this battery is rated to last only until its 3-year warranty ends. A replacement battery costs $47, and is simple to install.

When disposing of old batteries, be sure to drop off at your local recycling center.

APC devices notoriously beep loud during a power outage. This annoying feature can be permanently silenced by plugging a Windows computer into the USB port using the included USB cable, and configuring with their PowerChute software (Windows only).
