Samsung S90D Series Gaming OLED TV — Samsung

There aren’t many TVs designed specifically for gaming but this 55-inch Samsung Prime Big Deal Days discount is about to change that. Sure, there are some incredible Prime Big Deal Days TV deals, from a variety of brands, but few top Samsung’s value and fidelity. The Samsung S90D Series 55-inch OLED 4K smart TV is $500 off today, down to $1,298 from $1,798.

Why shop this 55-inch Samsung S90D Series OLED gaming TV deal?

OLED technology panels are stunning with pure blacks, bright whites, and true-to-life yet vivid colors. The differences between QLED vs OLED TVs can be compared, but it all comes down to those sharp, crisp, and true black colors that OLED can show off. The Samsung S90D Series is no exception to that rule especially with HDR+ support and Samsung’s 4K AI upscaling with a real depth enhancer. But you’re probably wondering what makes this TV so great for gaming? That would be the 144Hz Motion Xcelerator combined with Dolby Atmos and object tracking sound lite for 3D surround sound.

What you get is high-fidelity superb visuals, high framerates, and excellent 3D surround to create one of the most immersive home theater and gaming experiences possible. Hear the action. Be a part of the action. Also, it doesn’t hurt that the NQ4 AI Gen2 processor is powerful and intuitive, using 20 specialized networks to drive the smart TV hub, Dolby Atmos support, and upscaled 4K resolutions through all content.

Of course, another huge callout here is the discount for Prime Big Deal Days. Slicing $500 off the normal price, you’re getting this TV for $1,298 instead of $1,798, which, is an incredible offer. This TV is a great choice for game rooms, offices, man caves, gamer dens, or anywhere else you want to place it. Heck, even a living room setup for movie night would be wonderful.

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.
