4K TVs really don’t have to cost a fortune and can still exhibit great quality, as demonstrated by this TCL 50-inch Class 4-Series 4K TV. TCL is one of the best TV brands in this price range, so you’re onto a good thing here. Besides the sizeable 50-inch 4K screen, you also get a great home screen. Thanks to Roku being built into the TV, you get an easy-to-personalize screen that makes it easy to access thousands of streaming channels within seconds. A voice remote further helps as you can search for things by speaking rather than having to type in long entries. As well as that, the TCL 50-inch Class 4-Series 4K TV comes with four HDMI inputs so you can easily hook up all your devices and games consoles without a problem. Even better, one of those inputs is HDMI ARC so it syncs up audio well if you add a soundbar.

Best Buy has a fantastic deal on light strips today

If you’ve just snagged one of the many Amazon Echo deals around and you’re keen to continue making your home smarter on a budget, we’ve spotted some great smart lighting deals. Today at Best Buy, you can buy Govee LED Strip Lights on slae: just $25 for a 10 foot strip instead of $30, or $41 instead of $50 for 25 feet. We’re focusing on the 50 foot Govee LED Strip Light for $55 instead of $65, as it’s the best discount and you get a huge string of lights for the price. If all that sounds exciting, read on and we’ll tell you all about how well Govee lights work.

Why you should buy the Govee LED Strip Light
While the ruler of the best smart light bulb world is Philips Hue, I’d argue Govee is the best for light strips. I have a lot of Govee lights at home, and they were much more affordable than alternatives and work very well. The only disadvantage is the app isn’t quite as simple to use, but you soon get used to it.

Best Samsung Galaxy S25 pre-order deals: Secure the phone today, for less
A person holding the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus.

If you're a fan of the Samsung S24 lineup of phones, then you'll be happy to know that Samsung has just announced its latest lineup of S25 phones, and you can pre-order them already. There have been quite a few upgrades this generation, although one of the big talking points this year revolved around AI and the effort Samsung has put into integrating it into their phones. You can check out more information on our Samsung Unpacked 2025 event roundup for a breakdown of what Samsung talked about, and if you're ready to pre-order, we've collected all the best pre-order deals for you below.
Best S25 deals from Samsung
You can pre-order the Samsung S25 directly from Samsung, and while it doesn't have a direct discount, you can get up to $500 in trade-in credit, which brings it down to $300, and you can also get another $50 in Samsung Credit which will bring it down to just $250. You can also snag the S25, which does have $100 in direct savings that brings the price down to $1,020 from $1,120, plus you can trade-in and get up to another $700 in credit. Finally, you can snag yourself a pre-order for the Samsung S25 Plus with a $120 direct discount which brings it down to $1,300, and there is even another $900 trade-in credit you can get depending on the device you trade in.
There is also a full break-down of the Samsung pre-order deals on the Samsung S25, as well more information on the Samsung S25 Ultra pre-order deals from Samsung.

Best S25 deals from Amazon
One of the most clearcut deals is from Amazon on the S25, which gives you a direct $100 discount, bringing it down to just $800, rather than the usual $900. That's an 11% discount on the 128GB version of the S25, which is pretty substantial given that it's still in pre-order. Unfortunately, Amazon isn't offering any deals on the S25 Plus or the S25 Ultra, but we'll keep an eye out and update this page when and if we see any deals on them.
