Black Friday deals are always the sweetest time to treat yourself to a new TV. Right now, over at Best Buy, you can buy a LG 65-inch Class B2 Series OLED TV for $1,300, saving you a huge $600 off the usual price. An absolutely huge saving, this is easily one of the best Black Friday TV deals out there right now. Unlikely to last for much longer, let’s take a quick look at why you should buy it.

Why you should buy the LG 65-inch Class B2 Series OLED TV

LG is one of the best TV brands right now, particularly when it comes to providing the best OLED technology. The ultra-thin display technology is a great bet for anyone looking for exceptional picture quality thanks to it offering self-lit pixels that light up independently from each other, providing you with the deepest blacks at the same time as the brightest colors and everything in between.

The LG 65-inch Class B2 Series OLED TV does this in style with a plethora of other useful features. For instance, it uses its a7 Gen5 AI processor 4K to upscale content, providing you with a lifelike picture with more depth and rich colors than elsewhere. It also has AI Picture Pro which automatically enhances contrast and resolution with AI 4K upscaling and A.I. tone mapping so everything looks great. Continuing to rival some of the best TVs, it also provides 100% color fidelity and 100% color volume. It’s also capable of detecting what you’re seeing and applying the optimal tone curve to get natural color, deep contrast, and intricate detail.

With a dedicated Filmmaker mode, Dolby Vision IQ, and Dolby Atmos support, it’s a great option for movie lovers with plenty of streaming app support to help you find what you want to watch. Gamers will also appreciate the dedicated game optimizer mode and two HDMI 2.1 ports that are perfect for the latest game consoles. While the TV may not feature in our look at the best OLED TVs, many other LG TVs do and this TV offers some of the same technology.

Normally priced at $1,900, the LG 65-inch Class B2 Series OLED TV is down to $1,300 right now as part of the Best Buy Black Friday sale. A considerable saving, this is the perfect time to enjoy a sizeable OLED panel for less than usual.

Stop joining group projects with a blurry laptop webcam and buy one of these instead

Your laptop webcam is sabotaging your first impression. These five can fix it

I'm holding my Logitech C920 1080p webcam in my hands.

The webcam built into your laptop might be good enough for a quick call with friends and family. But its shortcomings become much harder to ignore when you are presenting a semester project, interviewing for an internship, or maybe if you're planning to stream for fun.

Laptop cameras also tend to sit far too low, especially when the computer is placed directly on a desk. Meanwhile, a dedicated webcam lets you position the camera closer to eye level. This improves the framing and brings larger sensors, better microphones, and more effective low-light processing.

I desperately want a new classic Walkman, but Sony probably can’t give me one

Tech minimalism is begging for a new Walkman. Though rebuilding it may be close to impossible

Sony Walkman WM2011

Every few months, another piece of tech that seems obsolete crawls out of a drawer and becomes cool again. The age of minimalism has revived the popularity of iPods among younger buyers. Dumbphones have become an escape hatch from endless notifications. Similarly, digital cameras are dangling from bags again. Physical media keeps attracting people who want something they can actually hold instead of another frustrating subscription.

All of this makes it the perfect time for Sony to bring back the classic Walkman, which was a phenomenon during the 80s and 90s. I would love one. Give me a compact cassette player, physical buttons, and wired headphones. Keep the apps, notifications, and algorithms that shape your taste of music. No more AI assistants or personalzied feeds, just you and your Walkman. There is only one problem though. Recreating the Walkman that people love and remember, would be far harder than putting an old design back into production.

Proton reveals how smart TVs track you and the escape situation is pretty grim

Modern smart TVs fingerprint your screen content at the chipset level.

Your smart TV may know far more about your viewing habits than you realize, even if you rarely use its smart features. In a new privacy explainer, Proton warns that many modern TVs quietly collect data about everything displayed on the screen and share it with manufacturers, advertisers, and analytics companies.

The worrying part is that escaping this tracking is becoming increasingly difficult because many privacy controls are buried deep in settings or enabled by default. Proton argues that buying a smart TV today often means accepting a level of surveillance that most people never knowingly signed up for.
