When it comes to the top TV deals, we see plenty of markdowns on Hisense and TCL sets, but what about the Big Three? For those unaware, we’re referring to Samsung, LG, and Sony. These three companies make some of the best-looking TVs, using advanced picture processing and upscaling tech to get the job done. While it can be challenging to come across a solid discount on these midrange and premium sets, sometimes you just have to know where to look. And, fortunately, we do!

As a matter of fact, right now, when you order the Sony 65-inch XR A80L OLED through Best Buy, you’ll save $700. At full price, this model sells for $2,200 (currently reduced to $1,500).

Why you should buy the Sony A80L OLED

For many years, Sony has been one of the best TV companies for movie lovers. Seeing as the Big S has years of studio filmmaking under its belt, A80L features like Sony’s Cognitive Processor XR and XR OLED Contrast Pro are constantly optimizing every frame to ensure you’re getting the most lifelike colors and contrast levels. While brightness isn’t a strong suit for any OLED set (we gave the A80L big praise in this OLED TV roundup!), the A80L actually does a decent job at delivering strong highlights, especially when watching HDR content.

Then there’s the unbound gaming performance that we all love Sony for. Since the company has been producing home consoles for over 30 years, it’s no surprise to us that the A80L is one of the best OLEDs to play video games on. This is thanks to features like HDMI 2.1 connectivity, which utilizes VRR and ALLM to deliver impeccable response times and top-shelf motion clarity. The TV also has an Auto Game Mode that kicks in whenever a PlayStation console is detected.

Other noteworthy features include the Google TV OS for streaming apps and smart home controls, ATSC 3.0 compatibility, and a one-year limited warranty from Sony.

There’s no telling how long this Best Buy sale is going to last, so now could be the one and only time the Sony OLED is this cheap. Save $700 when you purchase the Sony 65-inch A80L OLED at Best Buy, and be sure to check out some of the other OLED TV deals we’ve been finding! We also have a separate list of exclusive Sony TV deals, too!

Your next song could soon carry an AI warning label, and the music industry is all for it
AI isn't the problem anymore. Knowing it's AI is.
AI tag imagined with AI

The music industry's battle with artificial intelligence is entering a new phase. After spending the past two years fighting AI companies in court and pushing back against unauthorized training on copyrighted music, record labels are now turning their attention to something far simpler: transparency. A coalition representing major record labels, artists, and music organizations wants streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music to clearly tell listeners when a song has been created with artificial intelligence.

The proposal, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, comes as AI-generated music becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish from songs created by human artists. Rather than banning AI music altogether, the industry is arguing that listeners deserve to know what they're hearing before they hit play.

Your YouTube playlists can now become actual TV shows, but there’s a catch you need to know
YouTube just gave Partner Program creators the episodic infrastructure that Netflix has been using to keep audiences hooked for years.
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

YouTube just gave its creators a tool that streaming platforms take for granted. I’m talking about the ability to structure content as proper episodic TV. 

If you're in the YouTube Partner Program and you’ve been organizing your videos into playlists while praying that the algorithm and your audience notice, then Shows is the upgrade you've been waiting for.

Sony IER-M500 Launched Featured in use by artists

Sony is officially back in the professional in-ear monitor (IEM) space. The company has announced the IER-M500, a new pair of stage-focused earphones designed for everyone from aspiring musicians to seasoned performers. Rather than chasing features like active noise cancellation or spatial audio for casual listening, the IER-M500 is built with one goal in mind: helping artists hear themselves clearly during live performances.

Built for the stage, not the daily commute
