BuyDig.com - LG 49" 1080p HDTV for $340
LG 49-inch LED-backlit LCD 1080p HDTV for $397, and code SMART4ALL applies $58 off.

This is a "Smart" TV, however the reviewers say the built-in Smart features are not as good as a Roku or Apple TV. If you do not care about built-in Smart apps, this looks like a good value for a new 49-inch 1080p HDTV.

Dell.com - Samsung 40" 1080p HDTV and $125 Gift for $330
1. Samsung 40-inch LED-backlit LCD 1080p HDTV (model UN40J5200) for $530.
2. Coupon FALL200 applies $200 off.
3. A free $125 Promo eGift Card is included, emailed to you 20 days after purchase, and can be spent toward anything on Dell.com.
It normally sells for $280 ($50 less than this), but the free Dell $125 eGift Card could be more valuable than saving $50.

Also, a non-Smart version of this TV sells for $250 at BestBuy.com.

As an alternative, Dell is also selling a Vizio 43-inch LED-backlit LCD 1080p HDTV for $320 and includes a free $150 Dell Promo eGift Card. It has some negative reviews, though.

If you forget to spend the $100 within 90 days, it will be forfeited.

This TV normally sells for $197 without a free $100 card.

Amazon.com - 2-Pack of 10-Foot Lightning Cables for $11
Lightning cables power most Apple devices, including iPhone 5 and newer, iPad Mini, iPad 4th generation and newer, and iPad Air.
- 2-Pack of Sundix 10-foot Nylon USB-Lightning Cables in Red/Black for $11
- 2-Pack of Amoner 10-foot Nylon USB-Lightning Cables in various colors for $11
We own the Sundix cables, and love them. The quality feels good, and the 10-foot length is very nice to have.

Also mentioning the Amoner above because it has similar positive reviews, and available in a variety of colors.

For comparison, Apple sells their own 6-foot cable for $29 (4 feet shorter than the above 10-foot cables).

BestBuy.com - Sony 40" HDTV $230, Insignia 50" HDTV $240
- Sony 40-inch 1080p HDTV for $230 (model KDL-40R350D)
- Insignia 50-inch 1080p HDTV for $240 (model (NS-50D510NA17)
These are LED-backlit LCD HDTVs, and have positive reviews on BestBuy.com. The Insignia is 10-incher bigger, but the Sony has a 2-year warranty.

Amazon.com - LG 55" OLED 1080p Curved HDTV for $1100
(expired)

LG (55EG9100) 55-inch 1080p OLED Curved Smart HDTV for $1100 with free delivery. This is $200 less than normal.

OLED is a new screen technology that independently lights each pixel, allowing a sharper image than a regular LED-lit LCD screen. OLED is similar to the old Plasma TVs, which can make each pixel perfectly black, something LED/LCD screens cannot do. Unlike Plasma though, OLED screens consume very little energy.

Amazon.com - Kindle for $60, Kindle Paperwhite $100
(repost)
- Kindle Touchscreen eBook Reader for $60 at Amazon, Staples, and Best Buy.
- Kindle Paperwhite Touchscreen eBook Reader for $100 at Amazon, Staples, and Best Buy.
They normally sell for $20 more.

In our opinion, the Kindle is one of the best eBook readers on the market. The design is simple and lightweight, and consumes very little energy. A single battery charge can last weeks. Our favorite part is the true LCD screen, which does not have any backlighting. Staring at anything with a backlight, like a computer screen, phone or tablet screen, or television is the same thing as staring at a light bulb. These can cause eyestrain, a medical condition that can give headaches and effect eyesight, especially with prolonged use in low-light rooms. The Kindle does not use a backlight.

Make sure the free eGift card appears in the cart and during checkout.

An eGift Card should arrive 2 weeks after your purchase. They expire in 90 days from issue, and valid for anything on Dell.com (computers, monitors, computer accessories, another TV, etc).

Amazon.com - Transcend 32GB SD Card $8, 128GB for $20
(repost)
- Transcend 32GB Secure Digital (SDHC) Class-10/UHS-1 Memory Card for $8
- Transcend 128GB Secure Digital (SDXC) Class-10/UHS-1 Memory Card for $30
These normally sell for 50% more. There are some negative reviews, but most people love these cards. We have one, but not yet used it.

Its performance appears worse than a Sony SD Card. Its 64GB is available for $15, same per-GB price as the Transcend 128GB but should perform much better.

Newegg.com - 4-AA Battery Charger Kit for $13
Fujitsu 4-unit battery charger with 4 rechargeable AA batteries for $13 with free shipping. The charger works with either 2 or 4 AA or AAA batteries, and claims to recharge them up to 2,100 times. The reviews are mostly positive, but not positive as a Panasonic model that costs 30% more.

BestBuy.com - Sharp 50" 1080p HDTV for $300
Sharp (LC-50LB481U) 50-inch LED-backlit LCD 1080p HDTV with built-in Roku for $300 with free shipping. If the price shows up as $400, click "Sign In" or "Create Account" on the upper-right of the page. Once you are signed in with a Best Buy account, the price should appear as $300.

This and other similar 50-inch HDTVs normally sell for at least $350.

They are also selling a Samsung 48-inch 1080p Smart HDTV for $380 with free shipping. This is last year's model, and normally sells for about $450.

Manufacturers focusing on selling 4K TVs means the older 1080p models are dropping in price.

Most home viewers will have very little to watch in 4K. The technology looks amazingly sharp, but shows and movies in 4K may not be easily accessible for a few years, except for some Youtube videos, Netflix movies, and Hulu shows. Even still, you may need to upgrade to a 4K player or home theater PC to watch them, as even the "Smart" TVs may lack the processing power to play 4K videos.

Ebay.com - Yamaha RX-V779 A/V Receiver for $410
Newegg is selling a Yamaha RX-V779 A/V Receiver for $410 through their Ebay store. Normally sells for $450.

If you have speakers in two rooms, we recommend the Yamaha receivers. Most receivers have a "Zone 2" feature which can run a separate audio source to a second room, but Yamaha's "Zone B" will copy the SAME audio into the second room. For example, if you have surroundsound speakers in your living room and stereo speakers on your patio, the Yamaha can power all speakers from a single source. Many regular "Zone 2" receivers can, but not with a digital source (not with a cable box, Blu-Ray Player, etc). We have used an older model Yamaha RX-V575 for 2.5 years, and works great. It is easy to control from the Yamaha app.

Amazon.com - Inteset Universal Remote Control for Streaming Devices $20 with Prime
(expired)

(repost)

Only available with Amazon Prime today.

We bought this remote for $25 when on sale last year, and love it. Works about as well as a $50+ Logitech remote.

For comparison, a Logitech Harmony Smart Control can control the same devices as the Inteset (8 devices instead of 4), but costs much more than the Inteset. Granted the Logitech also includes an app, but these days, your mobile phone and tablet may give you the same home control features using a Simple Control app.

While more people switch from cable TV to streaming services, it is good to see a new affordable universal remote controls compatible with streaming devices.

They also just released an IR Repeater/Extender for $26, for controlling your devices behind a cabinet or wall.

Home and Kitchen:
- Insta Pot IP-DUO60 6qt Pressure Cooker for $70 with Prime only. We purchased it for the same price when it was on sale during Black Friday last year, and love it. We call it our "kitchen robot" since healthy food can be made super easy. Brown rice and potatoes cook in one-third the time, and soups taste incredible. If you want to get more into healthy cooking, I cannot recommend anything better than this (except maybe the Bluetooth/App version which costs a bit more).

- (Expired) TP-Link 5-Port Gigabit Managed Switch for $23. Sometimes on sale for $25, normally sold for $30. We have one, and it works fairly well. Can log in to the switch with downloadable software, view network statistics, and do basic management features like forcing ports to certain speeds.
- (Expired) TP-Link Powerline Outlet Networking Kit for $35. Connects the network between two rooms, that are too far away to use a Wifi bridge. Normally $45.
- Seagate 8TB 7200rpm Hard Drive for $240 with automatic Prime discount.
- (Expired) Orico Portable 2.5" Hard Drive Enclosure for $5.60 to $8. Available in several colors and USB and USB3.0. Newegg also had it on sale for the same price recently.
- Gunnar Optiks Computer Glasses for $40 to $45. We used one for a while, and it does help prevent eyestrain (headaches) when staring at a bright screen for long periods of time. However it alone is not fully effective. Only frequent breaks, eye exercises, low screen brightness and lots of ambient light can truly prevent eyestrain.
- 16GB Desktop PC DDR3 Memory: Crucial Ballistic Sport 2x8GB DDR3 Memory for $47 with automatic Prime discount today. Normally at least $60.

- Poweradd 2-Outlet and 2 USB Portable Travel Charger for $14. Normally at least $17. Weighs 7oz, and looks super useful for someone who travels.
- Kmashi 10,000mAh Portable Battery Charger for $11. Weighs 0.6 pounds. Reviews say it does not have pass-through charging, so it cannot charge your devices while its internal battery is charging. This is a big downside, in our opinion.
Also, throughout Amazon today, look for a blue "Prime Day Deal" flag next to a product which has a lower checkout price than the regular price. You can search for such items with automatic discounts during checkout.
