Black Friday and Cyber Monday may have passed us by, but that doesn’t mean the promos and discounts are over! There’s still an entire holiday season to get through, which means top brands like Sony are still going to wow us with markdowns, bundles, and other great TV deals. As a matter of fact, we came across a great Sony TV offer earlier today:

Right now, when you purchase the Sony 55-inch X90L 4K LED through the manufacturer, you’ll only pay $900. At full price, this model sells for $1,150. We reviewed this TV two summers ago, and our resident TV expert Caleb Denison said it best: “The Sony X90L is a surprising treat of a TV.”

Why you should buy the Sony 55-inch X90L 4K LED

The Sony X90L is a perfect midrange TV that delivers bright and colorful picture that doesn’t get washed out by glare. And even though we’re dealing with full LED backlighting, the X90L has an impressive contrast ratio. This means you won’t have to worry about light bloom during darker scenes. We were also floored by the TV’s motion handling, which bodes particularly well for gamers looking for a great LED TV.

When it comes to apps, games, screen mirroring, and updates, you’ll be using Google TV as your hub for web-connected everything. Expect fast load times and boatloads of content to choose from. You’ll also have the ability to turn off personalized ads if you’re not a fan of Google TV’s recommended movies and shows. The 55-inch X90L also comes with four HDMI ports, two of which support HDMI 2.1.

It’s hard to say how long this Sony markdown is going to last, but we think the manufacturer may keep the price this low until all available units are sold. After all, this is a 2023 set we’re talking about! Save $250 when you order the Sony 55-inch X90L 4K LED through Sony, and be sure to check out our list of the best Sony TV deals for even more discounts!

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.

LG is cracking down on smart TV apps that quietly turn your TV into a secret proxy
LG OLED Settings

If you own an LG smart TV, there's a chance one of your harmless-looking apps has been moonlighting as an internet relay for someone else's traffic. According to a report from KrebsOnSecurity, LG says it's finally stepping in to stop this menace. This week, the company confirmed it plans to suspend any webOS app that turns a TV into what's called a residential proxy node.

The move follows a report from security firm Spur, which found that more than 42 percent of apps on LG's webOS store include SDKs that quietly reroute internet traffic through your TV, indefinitely. Samsung isn't spared either, with over a quarter of Tizen apps carrying similar code.
