Television and electronics manufacturer Hisense has announced a 45-inch television, and if you’re looking at that number and thinking it’s pretty unusual, you’re absolutely right. It’s the first 45-inch screen to come out, and it’s the result of Hisense talking to TV buyers and finding many found a 40-inch screen too small, and a 50-inch screen too big. A TV screen isn’t like a piece of clothing you can have tailored for your body shape. The only way to get exactly the right size for your home, is for companies to provide more choices, hence Hisense’s decision to introduce the 45-inch model.

It’s not like a massive vacuum between 40-inch and 50-inch screen existed. Hisense itself sells 43-inch screens and 48-inch screens, but there is definitely less choice than if you’re in the market for a 50-inch or larger television. The model in question is the 45N5750, and it has plenty of the must-have TV features around at the moment, including 4K UHD resolution and HDR10 support, plus compatibility with Hybrid Log Gamma (or HLG), the new live-broadcast high-dynamic range system.

Onboard Wi-Fi and an Ethernet connection make it possible to view live-streaming services, and the Hisense TV has Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, and BBC iPlayer installed, along with a web browser. It also uses Anyview Cast and Stream for content sent from a PC or smartphone, which helps if you don’t have a Chromecast or similar device plugged in. A quad-core processor keeps everything running, and should provide enough power to ensure it does so smoothly.

The 45-inch TV has been announced for the U.K. at the moment, and can be purchased through retailers such as Richer Sounds, where it’s priced at 540 British pounds, or about $700. We’ve contacted Hisense to see if there are plans to release the 45N5750 in the U.S., and will update when we hear back. Hisense is a small player in the U.S. at the moment, with a selection of models available from stores including Walmart and Best Buy. However, the brand is gaining international attention through a series of massive sponsorship campaigns, from the 2018 FIFA World Cup to the Red Bull Formula One team.

IMAX Enhanced movie watched by people at home -- cinematic experience for the holidays

Maybe you'll have a lot of downtime for the holidays, maybe you won't. But I'm willing to bet when you do have time to sit down, pick your feet up, and relax, you'll be watching some movies and shows. Perhaps by yourself, or perhaps with your family. Whatever the case, the best way to watch anything like that is through a more cinematic experience. You know exactly what I'm talking about. Booming bass, realistic visuals, immersive sensory events -- everything that makes you feel like you're there in the middle of the action.

If that sounds like something you're into, or want to achieve, have I got the perfect setup for you. If you're looking to create a more cinematic experience at home for the holidays these two IMAX Enhanced devices have you covered. That's right, they feature IMAX formats to deliver immersion like never before. It's a projector and an audio system combo that's out of this dimension.

The Sony Bravia Theater U Wearable TV Speaker on a table.

The best TVs of 2024 are great when it comes to picture quality, gaming optimizations, and streaming capabilities. But, because most TV designs trend toward the thin side, that doesn’t leave much room for speakers. While some folks may solve the problem of lackluster TV audio with a soundbar (and we have plenty of great soundbar deals to look through), others may prefer the wearable approach of the Sony Bravia Theater U Wearable TV Speaker. In fact, this on-your-shoulders home theater system has a great discount. When you order through Sony directly, you’ll only pay $200. At full price, this model sells for $300.Why you should buy the Sony Bravia Theater U Wearable TV SpeakerThe U Wearable TV Speaker is like a cross between a soundbar and a solid pair of headphones, minus the over-ear design. Meant to sit on your shoulders, the U Wearable uses Sony’s X-Balanced Speaker Unit to deliver highs, mids, and lows in an upward-firing fashion. It’s like having every part of a surround sound setup within arm’s reach! And while the main intent of the device is to use it in conjunction with a Sony Bravia TV, you’ll be able to pair the U Wearable to many different phones, tablets, and PCs, too. On a full charge, the U Wearable should last up to 12 hours, and Bluetooth Multipoint lets you pair the speaker to more than one device simultaneously. Should you ever venture outside with the U Wearable, its IPX4 rating should hold up against a bit of rain or sweat. There’s even a built-in microphone for taking phone calls, and the silicone neckband is comfortable for long-wear sessions. It’s hard to say how long this markdown is going to last, though Sony TV deals like this one tend to go pretty quickly. Today may end up being the best day to save this much on the Sony Bravia Theater U Wearable TV Speaker. Take $100 off this audio device while you still can, and be sure to check out some of the best TV deals we’ve been gathering, too.
