Brands like Samsung dominate the world of TVs for good reason. This longstanding developer of LEDs and OLEDs has been churning out some of the best TVs on the market since flatscreens were a thing, and today, we’d like to draw attention to one of our favorite Samsung TVs of 2024, the S90D QD-OLED.

Right now, when you purchase the Samsung 55-inch S90D at Amazon, Best Buy, Crutchfield, and a handful of other retailers, you’ll only pay $1,200. The full MSRP on this model is $1,400.

Why you should buy the Samsung S90D OLED

The Samsung S90D is a thing of beauty for several reasons we’d like to dish about. For starters, the TV’s QD-OLED display combines the self-emissive pixel tech of traditional OLEDs with the enhanced brightness and colors that only quantum dots can deliver. That’s on top of Samsung’s phenomenal picture processing and 4K upscaling, leaving you with a final picture that’s brilliant, sharp, and lifelike.

We were impressed at how well the S90D holds up against glare in a brightly lit room, and the TV’s terrific HDR support delivered extra-impressive highlights, making it an excellent choice for Netflix and Hulu streaming in 4K. The S90D also features HDMI 2.1 connectivity on all four ports, as well as VRR and ALLM support. This makes the TV a solid choice for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC gamers.

The S90D’s Tizen OS handles apps, casting, and smart home controls, and the included remote can be recharged via solar or USB-C. It’s hard to say how long this discount will hold out, so your best bet is to buy ASAP if you’re interested. Take $200 off the Samsung 55-inch S90D OLED when you purchase today.

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.
