The Xfinity On Demand digital stores has just gained tempting titles. Comcast announced today that a new content licensing agreement with The Walt Disney Studios has bolstered its digital catalog with a selection of varied titles and new releases to be added in the future.

The announcement comes just in time for Star Wars fans. The latest installment in the franchise, The Force Awakens, has just been released in multiple formats, and Comcast customers are now able to buy the digital download from their TV set or on the Xfinity TV website. On top of the blockbuster giant, the new deal includes a selection of other titles from Disney, Lucasfilm, Disney-Pixar, Walt Disney Animation Studios, Marvel Studios, Disneynature, and Touchstone Pictures.

Customers aren’t just getting a boost in quantity of titles when the complete selection becomes available in coming weeks; the new films are quality hits like Pirates of the CaribbeanToy StoryFinding NemoAvengers: Age of Ultron, and The Good Dinosaur. The new titles strengthen the Xfinity On Demand digital store, which already includes numerous titles from Fox, Lionsgate, NBCUniversal, Paramount, Sony Pictures, and Warner Bros. Purchases can be stored in the cloud, and then watched on a wide selection of devices.

“We are excited to expand our digital store offering with the incredible selection of titles from The Walt Disney Studios’ portfolio,” said Nancy Spears, Comcast Cable’s vice president of digital media distribution and monetization. “Disney films appeal to all generations, and now our customers will be able to easily add them to their digital collection to watch when and where they want.”

Walt Disney Studios’ films do certainly have wide reach. Star Wars: The Force Awakens has been closing the gap between its box office earnings and those of all-time record-holder Avatar, surpassing $2 billion worldwide last month. The studio has not lacked for commercial or critical success over the years, and Comcast customers will likely be more than eager to peruse its titles for purchase.

Need a cheap, small TV? This 32-inch TV is only $88
An onn. 32-inch Roku Smart TV on a cabinet in a living room.

If you simply need the cheapest TV possible, check out the TV deals at Walmart at the moment. Currently, you can buy an Onn. 32-inch HD TV for just $88. It usually costs $98 so you’re only saving $10, but $88 is incredibly cheap for any TV. If you just need a TV for your child’s bedroom, a kitchen, or somewhere else where the basics are just fine, this is the TV for you. Here’s what else to expect.

Why you should buy the Onn. 32-inch HD TV
For $88, you won’t be getting one of the best TVs but that doesn’t mean the Onn. 32-inch HD TV should be overlooked. As the name suggests, it has a 32-inch 720p HD picture. While many of us have moved onto 4K TVs, there’s still a place for HD with a 720p resolution just fine for older consoles or even recent inclusions like the Nintendo Switch, as well as for watching DVDs. That’s why we think the Onn. 32-inch HD TV is a good option for entertaining the kids.

Hisense’s achingly bright U9N ULED TV is a UX for the masses
Hisense U9N ULED 4K TV.

In late 2023, just ahead of CES 2024, Hisense gave us a taste of just how far its engineers had been able to push the TV brightness envelope in the form of the limited-edition, 85-inch UX TV. With 3,500 nits of peak brightness, it was one of the brightest TVs we'd ever reviewed. And while Hisense's UX series remains the company's flagship (with massive 98- and 110-inch models coming later this year), some of the UX's features have trickled down to the new U9N ULED, a 4K TV that Hisense claims will produce an even brighter 5,000 peak nits.

The U9N ULED will come in 75- and 85-inch models, priced at $3,000 and $4,000, respectively. They're expected to be available from BestBuy.com this summer.
