This story is part of the Digital Trends Prime Day 2026 coverage

We’re now in the final moments of Amazon’s summer Prime Day 2025 event, and finding critical last-minute deals. Here’s one that almost fundamentally changes how you’ll likely think about a product. See, we have a whole list of the best TVs under $1,000, a price point that a ton of people that love TVs just don’t feel comfortable crossing. Then, we have a separate list for budget TVs, the best TVs under $500. Even though prices (which move up and down!) are quantitative data points, the differences between a sub $1,000 and a sub $500 TV feel almost categorical in nature, like the difference between water and steam. This deal take the $600 55-inch TCL QM6K (one of the TVs in our ‘under $1,000’ list) and pushes its price down by $152. This puts it at a price of $448, which is an all time low for it on Amazon, transforms it into an ‘under $500’ TV. Tap the button below to get the transformative deal while Prime Day is still here or continue reading to see why we liked it so much even when it was over $500.

Why you should buy the 55-inch TCL QM6K

The QM6K is a modern TV in every sense of the word. It’s got QD-MiniLED paneling, 240Hz gaming with the now-ubiquitous auto game mode, top-tier HDR, and even an art mode. In case those features aren’t enough to convince you this is very much a 2025 TV, you can also see that it is one of the first TVs we covered this year. Our TCL QM6K review highlights the incredible accuracy of the TV’s color imagery. At the time of the of our February review Caleb Denison wrote, “For now, the TCL QM6K is the TV that most of the TV-watching public in the US should get. It has what you need, and it will treat you to an amazing experience at a very nice price.” With this incredible Prime Day pricing, it’s worth noting that price is even sweeter.

The 55-inch TCL QM6K is set to lose this great price of $448 ($152 less than its usual $600 cost) when Prime Day ends, so be sure to get it while you can by tapping the button below.

I’m already surrounded by AI. I don’t need ChatGPT living beside my bed
No, OpenAI. I don’t want your ChatGPT speaker.

AI is all around us now. From your phone to home appliances, it practically sits everywhere--and it might just get a lot more intimate. A recent report claims OpenAI and Jony Ive are working on a small, screenless AI speaker shaped somewhat like a doughnut. It could be battery-powered, portable enough to carry around the house, and packed with microphones, cameras, sensors, speakers, lights, and even moving parts.

It sounds like someone finally decided the Amazon Echo needed eyes and a personality. And not to be too negative, the idea of a "ChatGPT"-powered hardware really doesn't sound so great.

For months, reports have suggested that OpenAI’s first hardware product would be a screen-free smart speaker designed to act more like an AI companion. We already knew it could understand its surroundings, be carried around the home, and proactively help users. A new Bloomberg report now gives us a clearer picture of what the device may actually look like.

As per the report, OpenAI’s first gadget will be shaped like a doughnut and measure about the same size as a hockey puck. You will be able to carry it between rooms or leave it nearby on whatever surface is convenient. The device is expected to be on the expensive side, as the company has pondered pricing it around $300 to $400. A release is currently planned for 2027.
