This is one of the only cameras we awarded 5 stars to. In our Insta360 X4 review, we said the X4 is one of the most powerful 360 cameras ever made, shooting full 360 degree content in 8K (which ends up at 2.7K when reframed to 16:9 for viewing on a screen.) If you want to shoot awesome and surreal 360 or invisible selfie stick footage, this is the camera to buy.
Hisense is setting a new bar for value with its U6QF Mini-LED TV, which drops Google TV in favor of Fire TV. You still get an awesome suite of features built on a 144Hz refresh rate with HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos support. As one of the cheapest options to get for gaming, the U6QF is a powerful display for PC gamers leveraging tons of brightness.
The B4 is LG's entry-level OLED TV. This TV supports Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and has improved picture quality thanks to LG's A8 processor. For gamers, it features four HDMI 2.1 ports, a 120Hz refresh rate, a brightness booster and Game Optimizer Mode. In our LG B4 OLED review, we called the Editor's Choice TV the value OLED TV of the year. The 48-inch model is a Best Buy exclusive.
The LG C4 OLED is powered by LG's A9 processor and features a 120Hz panel, Dolby Vision/HDR10/HLG support, built-in Amazon Alexa, four HDMI 2.1 ports and Apple AirPlay 2 support. It's also one of the few OLED TVs that can natively accept a 144Hz input from a PC. In our LG C4 OLED TV review, we said the content looked colorful and dazzlingly bright on the C4 series. Just note the newer LG C5 OLED is now available.
Part of LG's 2025 TV lineup, the LG C5 OLED is here as the value pick of the year. Offering a slew of features, like a range of HDR certifications and gaming specs for the PS5 Pro crowd, the C5 proves a major improvement over its predecessor. We called it "nearly flawless" and gave it a 5-star rating in our LG C5 OLED TV review. Price check: $1,496 @ Amazon
The new Fire TV Stick 4K sports an upgraded 1.7GHz quad-core processor that's 30% more powerful than the previous model. In our Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K review, we praised its 4K video quality for a budget price. Features include Dolby Vision/HDR10/HDR10+/HLG support, Wi-Fi 6 support and a Live TV guide button on the remote. You also get Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby Atmos support to improve your streaming audio.
The Ring Indoor Cam (2023) can record 1080p video, scare off intruders with a built-in siren, and detect motion in specified zones. It is more compact than the previous model with the addition of a new privacy shutter and upgraded mount. Right now you can get a two-pack for $59 — that's the same price as a single camera.
This bundle gets you a Blink Outdoor 4 Camera and a Blink Floodlight Mount for just $59. The wireless setup runs entirely on battery so it can be placed on virtually any surface without existing floodlight wiring. It's perfect for use in dark areas like on a shed or the side of your home.
The Ring Battery Doorbell can be easily installed to watch your front door, while the Indoor Cam can be set up in less than ten minutes to view the interior of your home and give you a 1080p HD view complete with motion detection and a privacy cover. Though the Indoor Cam does require a power outlet, it also provides two way audio and noise cancellation and has a wide field of view. The Ring Battery Doorbell is our best value choice for Ring doorbells because it delivers the features we like most in Ring doorbells but still costs less than $100.
This bundle includes two Blink Outdoor 4 cameras and the new Blink Sync Module XR, which can extend the range of the cameras to as much as 400 feet.
The Asus Vivobook 14 is a solid laptop for shoppers on a budget. It comes with an Intel Core i5 processor, 12GB RAM and a 256GB SSD. It also has a 14-inch 1920 x 1080 FHD display that reaches 250 nits of brightness.
The 13-inch MacBook Air M4 is Apple's greatest offering yet, and it's not only because of its speedy performance thanks to the M4 chip or its upgraded 12MP webcam. It's $100 less than its predecessor, and with that extra discount, you're getting one of the best laptops on the market at an epic price.
This is the one of the best Copilot+ PC deals available! This 14-inch thin and light laptop features a Snapdragon X Elite for impressive performance and power efficiency, complemented by 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
The JLab Go Air Sport are ludicrously good value at their full price of $29, so to get them for just $24 on sale is unreal. They're some of the best budget running headphones we've ever tested, with a reliable fit and surprisingly good sound quality given the low price.
If you want a speaker that can truly fill a space, this is it. Our JBL Boombox 3 review praised this speaker's impressively wide sound and thumping bass. It also lasts for up to 24 hours of battery life, and has a strong IP67 durability rating against water and dust. Just note that it's hefty, coming in at 14.7 pounds.
The BlueAir Blue Pure 511i Max has a coverage of 926 sq ft, so it's great for small rooms. It uses HEPASilent, dual filtration technology to remove at least 99% of airborne particles in the air. It also runs very quiet and you can even control it via the Blueair app. Plus, its modern design makes it easy to blend into any room.
The Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist has a refillable misting tank onboard to make you instantly cool. It can act as both corded or cordless, with a up to 24 hour running time (depending on what speed setting you use). Its portable design means you can take advantage of the mist spray both indoor or out.

Stop searching Amazon: These 3 RTX 50-series gaming laptop deals are the real steal

If you've been looking to grab an RTX 50-series gaming laptop, you know how expensive it can be. I know, as I've been searching for, and testing, these machines ever since they launched. Well, in light of Prime Day, they aren't as costly anymore. In some of the best deals I've seen, Best Buy has some major price cuts on RTX 50-series gaming laptops. That includes this HP Omen Transcend 14 with an RTX 5060 that's $350 off, a recently launched RTX 5070-equipped Alienware 16X Aurora with a $450 price drop and even an HP Omen Max 16 with an RTX 5080 that's down by $385. Anyone after an upgrade or an all-new gaming rig will want to jump on these, and with these sales ending on July 7, you'll want to act fast. Prime Day is around the corner, but these stellar price cuts are hard to miss. This HP Omen Transcend 14 gaming laptop rocks a 120Hz 3K (2880 x 1800) OLED display, an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H CPU, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 laptop GPU. You also get 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD for storage, all squeezed into a thin RGB-studded laptop decked out in HP's Shadow Black color scheme. First up, a very tempting HP Omen Transcend 14 sporting an RTX 5060. After playing on RTX 5060 gaming laptops, I can say it's a worthy choice for anyone looking to make the most of mighty performance for less. That's thanks to Nvidia's DLSS 4 and multi-frame gen tech offering boosted frame rates at higher settings, and with its 3K (2880 x 1800) 120Hz OLED display, expect buttery smooth visuals in the latest PC titles, especially competitive multiplayer games. Quite possibly the best deal I've found on an RTX 5070 gaming laptop, this Alienware 16X Aurora delivers value in spades now that it's $450 off, equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 GPU, 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a sizeable 2TB SSD. Thanks to its 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) 240Hz display, you'll see the might and speedy performance of its specs in full view, too. An Alienware gaming laptop for well under $2,000? That's a steal, especially since it boasts an RTX 5070 GPU. This is Alienware's latest with a thinner, sleek design, and its 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) 240Hz display is sure to deliver some high-end gameplay, especially with Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD onboard. I've gamed on an RTX 5070 gaming laptop, and I couldn't be happier with the horsepower it brings to the latest AAA games. Even an RTX 5080 is getting a discount! We're mightily impressed with the HP Omen Max 16, and with its Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, RTX 5080 power, gorgeous 16-inch OLED display with a 240Hz refresh rate and sleek (yet hefty) design, you will be, too. Now that it's $385 off, you're getting a lot of power for less. For the next step up, there's also this HP Omen Max 16 with an RTX 5080. It's currently one of the most powerful gaming laptops on the market, as you'll find in our HP Omen Max 16 review, and we're majorly impressed with its 16-inch (2560 x 1600) OLED display. Even without DLSS involved, this machine can pump out incredible performance. However, with DLSS x4 switched on, you can get a crazy 240 FPS at max settings in games like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. It's pricey, but with that $385 discount, it makes it all the sweeter. To put this all into perspective, even PCs like the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 for $1,599 with an RTX 4060 aren't far off these prices. That makes these new RTX 50-series gaming laptops a steal. More price cuts will be on their way during Amazon's big event, so for even more options, don't miss out on these Prime Day gaming laptop deals.

The shopping wars are heating up this July as Dollar General and Walmart offer discounts ahead of Amazon's Prime Day

What used to be one of the sleepiest times of year for retailers has turned into a major shopping event thanks to Amazon. Amazon's Prime Day this year will last four days between July 8 and 11 — longer than it has run before, and the earliest that the sale has started. A range of other retailers, from Dollar General to REI, are also offering sales that coincide with or start earlier than Prime Day. Fourth-of-July sales for products, such as mattresses or seasonal items like lawnmowers and inflatable pools, have been around longer than Prime Day. Overall, though, early summer was historically a slow time for retail. "July used to be the dog days of summer when people didn't spend that much," said Zak Stambor, senior analyst of retail and e-commerce at EMARKETER, which shares an owner with Business Insider. Prime Day, which Amazon first hosted in 2015, changed that. Now, "July is a time that consumers are conditioned to be on the hunt for deals," Stambor said. "Every retailer needs to respond and lean into that." Best Buy, Dollar General, and other retailers are getting in on the action Besides Prime Day, this year's sales lineup includes a seven-day Fourth of July sale from Best Buy. Like Amazon, Best Buy is offering deals on electronics to members of its paid loyalty programs. Best Buy's sale lasts three days longer than Prime Day, though. It also started on Monday, over a week ahead of Prime Day. Dollar General is planning its own "7 Days of Savings" event, which starts on July 6. The dollar store's discounts for the sale are more limited than Amazon's, with one deal per day, such as a discount on a fan or a buy-one, get-one deal on bratwurst. Walmart and Target, which have offered their own sales around Prime Day in years past, are also getting in on the action again. Walmart's sale, for example, will start on July 8 and run for six days. Members of Walmart+, the big box store's paid membership, will get early access to deals. Department store Kohl's, outdoor gear retailer REI, and home improvement chain Lowe's are also among the stores offering Fourth-of-July and other sales around the same time as Prime Day this year. Amazon may have drawn inspiration from its rivals for its longer Prime Day, Stambor said. Last year, when Prime Day was two days long, Walmart's sale was twice as long. "Amazon can see that those events have resonated, and so why not hop in the pool and join them?" Stambor said. All those deals could be welcome this year as consumers watch their spending closely and worry about prices going up due to tariffs. President Donald Trump's 90-day pause on many of the tariffs that he enacted in April expires on July 9, the second day of Prime Day. Amazon still has an edge over many other retailers when it comes to conveniences like fast delivery and value, Stambor said. And marquee sales events like Prime Day allow Amazon to increase its market share in the long run. Rival retailers' sales are also a chance for them to win over customers. "What is their unique value proposition that will drive consumers to buy from them rather than just go to Amazon or Walmart?" Stambor said.

Fourth of July has come and gone, but if you missed the chance to save during the main event, don't worry. Most major retailers like Best Buy, Walmart and Amazon (which is also set to kick off its Prime Day sale in just a few days) are still keeping the discounts rolling on a wide variety of items, ranging from the top tech to household essentials. If you've been looking to upgrade your entertainment setup, now is the time. We've spotted some lingering discounts on TVs from top brands like Samsung, LG and TCL. Regardless of your budget and size needs, you'll find a TV deal that suits you here. These discounts are likely going to expire soon, though, so if you see an offer that catches your eye, don't wait too long. We'll be regularly updating this page as bargains come and go, so be sure to check back often for the latest and greatest discounts.

Details Save $160 $640 at Amazon Close More July 4th TV deals: Should you shop July 4th TV deals or wait until Prime Day? With the Fourth of July past us and another major shopping event just around the corner, many potential buyers are wondering whether it's better to take advantage of the lingering Fourth of July deals, or wait until Prime Day a few days later. Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing which sale will offer the absolute best prices but it's likely that both will blur into a single massive shopping event that spans multiple days and retailers. With that in mind, we'd lean toward getting your order in sooner rather than later. While there's a slight chance we'll see prices dip a little lower later in the sale, there's a much greater chance that the best bargains will sell out fast. If you see a TV that fits your needs and budget at a good price, we'd recommend grabbing it before it goes out of stock. Which retailers offer the best July 4th TV deals? As you might expect, major retailers like Amazon and Best Buy are offering some excellent deals for the Fourth of July and Prime Day. You'll also want to check out smaller online-only retailers like Adorama and B&H Photo, as they may be offering some under-the-radar bargains that aren't being matched elsewhere. What else is on sale for July 4th? There is a huge variety of deals that you can still shop across retailers as part of their Fourth of July sales. These include tons of top tech like TVs and laptops, as well as home goods and big-ticket items like mattresses and major appliances. There are also plenty of seasonal deals on grills, outdoor gear and other summer essentials still live. To give you a good idea of what's out there, you can check out our full roundup of all the best Fourth of July deals still available (but not for long). How we choose the best July 4th TV deals At CNET, we've covered shopping events for more than five years, including Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other shopping events. We've become good at weeding out scams and superficial deals so you only get the best offers. We look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when choosing television deals. We have a team of devoted experts who have tested hundreds of TVs to make sure we're bringing you the best of the best. Real discounts mean exactly that. We look at the price history for that product to make sure no brands are inflating prices to make the discount seem more substantial than it is. Quality reviews and testing are important for any product, but especially for TVs. If you're unhappy the first time you turn it on, the discount wasn't worthwhile. Remaining sale time is a huge part of our vetting process. If a deal seems like it will only be around for a short while or will only be available for the remaining stock, we'll let you know upfront, so you don't come back to the deal later only to be disappointed.
