Hisense is one of the top tech brands on the market for budget-friendly TVs. Not only do these LED-LCDs and QLED TVs cost less than much of the competition, but you’ll also be treated to the type of picture quality we expect from higher-priced TVs. As a matter of fact, one of Hisense’s best midrange sets has an even steeper discount this week:

For a limited time, when you purchase the Hisense 65-inch U7N Series 4K ULED at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and a few other sites and stores, you’ll only pay $680. The full MSRP on this model is $1,000.

Why you should buy the Hisense U7N Series

We tested this Hisense set back in November 2024, and editor at large Caleb Denison said the U7N delivered “Absolutely incredible bang for your buck.” Whether you’re watching TV in a room filled with ambient lighting or you plan on housing this monster screen in a basement space, the U7N gets bright enough when watching SDR content to fight glare. The TV also looks great in darker rooms, though you may notice a bit of light bloom around captions and other subjects.

The Hisense U7N has fantastic HDR capabilities, too. On top of supporting every format, you’ll be treated to a wide color gamut when watching or playing HDR content, along with impressive specular highlights. HDMI ports 3 and 4 are both 2.1 certified, so you can expect fast response times and low input lag when hooking up a game console or PC. The U7N’s native 120Hz refresh rate is also great for sports and action movie fans.

The U7N even has a built-in Google TV OS for all things apps, casting, and internet-connected. We wish this TV would stay at this price forever, but there’s a good chance it’ll be back to full price by week’s end.

Save $320 when you purchase the Hisense 65-inch U7N Series 4K ULED today, and be sure to check out our roundups of the best QLED TV deals, best TV deals, and best Amazon deals for even more discounts on top Hisense TVs!

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.
