I dug past the flashy Prime Day OLED TV discounts, and these two actually make sense

Samsung leans harder into gaming value, while LG is the safer home-theater crowd-pleaser.

OLED TV deals live or die by the model number, screen size, seller, and actual discount. These two 65-inch Prime Day picks are where I’d start because they come from Samsung and LG, land around the same $1,200 mark, and make the buying choice pretty simple.

Samsung 65-inch OLED S90F

The Samsung 65-inch OLED S90F is the first deal I’d check if gaming is high on the list. It’s down to $1,197.99 from $1,697.99, which makes it 29% off.

The main draw is Motion Xcelerator 144Hz support. That gives this OLED a stronger pitch for console gaming, PC gaming, and fast sports than a basic 60Hz set. You also get Samsung’s NQ4 AI Gen3 processor, 4K upscaling, and HDR+, so it still covers the premium TV basics. Built-in Alexa support is included too, because apparently TVs need side hustles now.

Amazon lists a 4.4-star average from 458 ratings, with more than 400 bought in the past month. The screenshot also shows that it ships from and is sold by Amazon.com, which removes one common Prime Day headache. At this price, Samsung has the sharper discount and the cleaner gaming argument.

LG 65-inch OLED evo C5

The LG 65-inch OLED evo C5 lands almost exactly beside the Samsung at $1,199. It’s down from a typical price of $1,396.99, so the 14% discount is smaller, but the C-series reputation does a lot of work here.

This is the home-theater default pick. You get OLED evo, Dolby Vision, HDR10, Dolby Atmos, Filmmaker Mode, and 4K AI Super Upscaling. That feature mix makes it easy to recommend for movies, streaming, and general living-room use. It’s not as gaming-focused as the Samsung, but it feels like the calmer buy if you want a TV that’s good at almost everything.

The Amazon crowd is stronger here too. The LG has a 4.5-star average from more than 1,300 ratings, is marked as a No. 1 best seller in OLED TVs, and has more than 1,000 bought in the past month. I’d take the Samsung for gaming value, but the LG C5 looks like the safer all-around OLED buy.

Sonos owners are finally getting a less frustrating app, but the rollout comes with a catch
Improved navigation, speaker sorting, and new iOS volume controls are arriving gradually and must initially be enabled manually
Furniture, Electronics, Speaker

The Sonos app is getting a substantial usability overhaul. Familiar bottom tabs should make it easier to move around, while customizable speaker ordering could take some friction out of managing a multiroom system.

Sonos community manager ShaunFromSonos announced that the release may take up to two weeks to reach everyone. Once it arrives, users must switch on Enable Improved Navigation in the app’s settings to unlock the new layout and sorting tools.

Spotify’s new conversational AI can play tracks you request and answer your music questions
A ChatGPT-like AI feature is coming to Spotify for music requests and listening-history questions
spotify

Spotify is rolling out a new AI-powered conversational feature that lets Premium users talk directly to the app about what they want to hear. Users can type or speak a request and refine the results through follow-up questions instead of manually searching for a song, podcast, or audiobook.

The feature is available from Spotify’s Home and Now Playing screens and works much like a personal audio assistant. It can choose what plays, answer questions about the current track or album, recommend something new, and look through your listening history to provide more personalized responses.
