LG B3 55-inch OLED TV (2023) was $16999 now $798 at Walmart (save $801)
"All the TV that most people will ever need" is how our expert reviewers described LG's B3 OLED when we reviewed it earlier this year. With typically awesome OLED contrast, authentic, balanced picture quality and excellent OS and gaming features, it's a bona fide bargain and a brilliant option if you don't want to stretch to this year's $997 B4 model.
There's a reason that the Cambridge Audio MXN10 has snagged back-to-back What Hi-Fi? Awards. For its size and price, it's pretty much the best music streamer money can buy, and with $100 off, that sentiment only becomes more accurate as the MXN10 drops to its lowest-ever price.

Roku's smart stick supports HDR and promises 30% faster streaming as well as all the apps you could need. At this discount, you'll be hard-pressed to find a more full-featured streamer for the money, especially one that's so small and portable.
Bose SoundLink Max was $399 now $299 at Amazon (save $100)
This is an outrageous deal! Bose's SoundLink Max is a hugely enjoyable listen, a big burly champ that fires out an engaging, dynamic and assertive listen that will fill rooms of almost any size with beefy sonic goodness. A whole quarter off the original price on a speaker that only came out a few months ago is not something to be ignored.

TCL 32S335 was $230 now $150 at Amazon (save $80)
No one is claiming that this little TCL TV is even in the same league as the big boys that fill out the rest of this list, but if you're looking for a very cheap TV, we've not tested anything better. For a very low price, you get a 32-inch 720p TV with the Roku operating system and surprisingly decent picture quality. A bargain.
Read our TCL 32S335 review
42-inch LG C2 OLED was $1200 now $846 at Amazon (save $354)
The 42-inch version of LG's C2 OLED is so brilliant, we gave it an Award, and that was when it was new and therefore pretty expensive. Now that it's been out for a couple of years, there are massive discounts to be had, as you can see. Five stars
Read our LG OLED42C2 review
42-inch LG C3 OLED was $1400 now $996 at Amazon (save $404)
The C2 above was succeeded by the C3. It's another great TV, but the improvements are slight so we recommend you buy the C2 while it's still available and cheaper (or better yet, spend a little more on the C4). Five stars
Read our LG OLED42C3 review
Sony XR-42A90K was $1400 now $1298 at Amazon (save $102)
This 42-inch OLED TV lacks the flawless gaming spec of the LGs above, but its movie performance is superb and it sounds significantly better, thanks to Sony's clever Acoustic Surface Audio+ technology, which features actuators that vibrate the whole screen in order to make sound. Five stars
Read our Sony XR-42A90K review
Sony Bravia 8 55in was $1999 now $1399 at Best Buy (save $600)

LG OLED65C4 $2700 now $1496 at Amazon (save $1204)

LG OLED77C3 was $2299 now $1899 at Best Buy (save $400)
The discount's not quite as impressive as the above saving on the Sony A80L, but this C3 deal's not to be sniffed at, particularly if you're a gamer. Featuring four, rather than the Sony's two HDMI 2.1 ports, if you have a Dolby Atmos audio system and multiple current generation games consoles, this is the deal for you.
