The next generation of Hisense TVs, the U9, will launch this summer. If you’ve been looking for a bright and colorful 4K QLED set at a good price, Hisense is offering major markdowns on many of its older sets. Perusing through Amazon deals today, we came across this terrific discount on the Hisense 65-inch U6HF.

For a limited time, you’ll be able to purchase this Hisense ULED (the company’s “QLED” moniker) on Amazon for just $450. At full price, this set usually goes for $750, so you’ll be able to put that $300 you saved toward one of the best soundbar deals we found today. After all, a proper home theater is nothing without great audio!

Why you should buy the Hisense 65-inch U6HF

65-inch TVs have become one of the most common sizes, and the Hisense U6HF’s 4K pixel count looks fantastic on a display this large. It doesn’t hurt that Hisense opted to use quantum dots for brighter and bolder colors too. Once you factor in the full array backlight and 32 local dimming zones, you’re left with a TV that doesn’t shy away from vibrant imagery. Of course, with the choice of multiple picture presets, you’ll be able to turn down those illumination levels if you so choose. 

When it comes to motion clarity, the U6HF does a decent job at optimizing fast-moving content to be rendered with as little blur and ghosting as possible. Even though this Hisense only pulls off a 60Hz native refresh rate across its four HDMI ports (one of which is 2.1 certified), 4K picture upscaling and excellent HDR support make up for the set’s slower response time. 

We’re also glad to see Fire TV as the smart hub and UI of choice. Packed with plenty of apps and games, you’ll even be able to use Alexa to search for movies and shows, control apps, and manage your smart home devices.

It’s hard to say how long this markdown is going to last, so it’s best to take advantage while you still can. Save $300 when you purchase the Hisense 65-inch U6HF on Amazon, and be sure to check out some Hisense Prime Day deals that are still hanging around. We also have a solid roundup of TV deals from multiple brands for you to look through.

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.
