Mini-LED TVs don't have to be expensive — this 55-inch model just went on sale for $379
If you've been keeping your eye out this year for a budget-friendly TV with built-in smart features, you're in luck: One of the best-kept secrets in affordable TVs just got even better. The 55-inch TCL QM5K just crashed to $379 at Best Buy. It's one of the cheapest Mini-LED TVs on shelves this year, and it's a great fit for folks whose number-one priority is saving money, but who'd rather not scrape the bottom of the barrel for a cheap TV. The QM5K arrives with built-in Google TV features for all of your streaming needs, plus Dolby Vision support. Its handiest feature is its Mini-LED backlighting, which is almost unheard of at this price point. If you're going to shop in this price range, I recommend going with the QM5K over a super-cheap TV from a brand like Insignia or Onn. Given its entry-level status, the QM5K sits lower on the performance chart than the step-up TCL QM6K, but it's very handy to have Mini-LED local dimming at this price point — especially if you're trying to avoid buying an edge-lit TV (which I recommend you do). It's very handy to have Mini-LED local dimming at this price point. The QM5K features three HDMI inputs rather than the usual four, but thankfully, its built-in smart platform ought to be robust enough to forgo the use of a dedicated streaming device. It arrives with Google TV baked right into the software, which is one of my preferred smart platforms due to its easy-to-navigate interface and sensational app QM5K isn't a fully-fledged gaming machine, but it'll support 4K gaming up to 60Hz. If you're a casual console gamer, this is pretty much the best you can hope for within the QM5K's price someone who helps people shop for TVs, the QM5K has been a mainstay on my list of ultra-affordable recommendations since its debut last month. It's not a TV whose picture will turn heads, but if you're looking for a reliable 4K TV for everyday use, the QM5K is a better choice than most options in this price range (sorry, Insignia TVs).

EcoFlow Portable Solar Panel Power Hat Goes for Peanuts, Charge Your Phone From Your Head
So many of the things we carry on us throughout our day have a battery in it. From our phones to our tablets to our headphones, everything needs to be charged. It sure would be nice to have something on you that can charge all of your devices. Sure, a power bank would do the trick, but that itself needs to be charged in order for it to work for your phone and other accessories. Wouldn't it be great if we could just plug all our stuff into say, oh I don't know, maybe our hat? That would be ridiculous. A hat that could charge my phone. Well, that exists. The EcoFlow portable solar panel power hat is exactly that, and best of all, it's been discounted over at Best Buy to just $59. It's normally priced at $100, so this is a savings of $41 (nearly 50% off). See at Best Buy EcoFlow has truly outdone themselves here. What we have is an outdoorsy bucket hat with a wide brim, except that brim is covered in small solar panels. It has 360-degree solar panel coverage so you have no dead angle when looking for solar input. Just wear it as you would any hat and the sun will do the rest. The hat is lightweight and comfortable to wear for long stretches of time. It can fold up easily for storage into you backpack or luggage, hardly taking up any space at all. The EcoFlow power hat is applicable for a wide range of scenarios whether you need it to just protect your face from the sun on a hot beach day or because your phone is running down to single digit percentages and needs a boost. Take it hiking fishing, pretty much anywhere. The EcoFlow is durable and reliable. The IP65 rating makes it splashproof and dustproof. You can take it into humid environments from seasides to lakes and even wear it through some light rain. The fiberglass bonding is resistant to microcracks so you don't need to give it any sort of special care when on your next outdoor adventure. Just wear it like you would any old hat. It can charge your devices over either of the dual USB-A or USB-C ports embedded in the hat. You can even plug in two devices at once to charge them both simultaneously. For a limited time, you can score this portable solar panel hat from EcoFlow over at Best Buy for a $41 discount. Typically priced at $100, that brings the price you pay down to just $59.

Some of Our Favorite Security Cameras From Arlo Are Up to 63% Off
Security cameras are pretty essential. Whether you're going on a trip or simply want to keep an eye on things while you're at work or running errands, they can help keep you safe. But that doesn't mean that they are by any means affordable, especially if you want a nicer one. Arlo makes some of our favorite cams out there, but they aren't cheap either. Thankfully, Arlo is having a sale and you can save up to 63% off some of our favorite home security cameras for both indoors and outdoors. Shop the sale at Amazon or Best Buy and take a look at our favorite picks below. The Arlo Pro 5S 2K camera is our overall favorite home security camera. It has tons of smart features. This includes color night vision, 12x zoom, 160-degree field of view, motion detection and even a built-in spotlight. The only thing our experts didn't like was the price. It's certainly pricey, with the three-pack going for $400. But you can score 50% off, bringing the price down to $200, much better. One of our favorite outdoor security cameras, especially for use without Wi-Fi, is the Arlo Go 2. We love it because it has excellent LTE options for zones outside of Wi-Fi but you can still use Wi-Fi to save data. Similar to the 5S cam, it has spotlight and night vision included. And since it's an outdoor cam, it has good weather protection. Our experts didn't like the price for this one either. But now you can take $50 off, bringing the price from $250 to $200. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. If you're looking for a wireless security camera with a floodlight, the Arlo Pro 3 with Floodlight is our favorite one. It's powerful and can light up the darker areas outside your home. It also has 2K resolution and a 160-degree field of view, so you get a crystal clear picture. And if you have Apple Home, it's compatible with that, too. Just be aware that the battery runs out fairly fast. It lasts only a few days before needing a recharge. You can save $80 on it, bringing the price from $250 to a more reasonable $170. For the most savings, take a look at the Arlo Essential security camera. Normally $80 for one camera, you can get 63% off for a limited time bringing the camera to a record-low of just 30 bucks. This camera is wired and goes indoors. It works great as a baby monitor or a pet camera, too. Why this deal matters Arlo makes great security cameras which means they can cost quite a bit, too. That's why it's a great idea to take advantage of this sale now. The cameras are up to 63% off at Amazon and Best Buy. Some of our favorite security cameras are included in this sale. I'm even adding some of these to my cart, because who knows when we'll see discounts like this again.

Apple's latest AirPods Max for $100 off is a great back-to-school deal
It's annoying to think about school starting in the middle of summer, but we've already begun to see glimpses of back-to-school deals, including a discount on the AirPods Max (USB-C) that brings them down to $449.99 ($100 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. Apple's AirPods Max feature exemplary build quality, sound phenomenal, and keep up with the best at noise cancellation. Read our review. Apple's latest over-ear headphones share many features with its earbuds, but have significantly longer battery life, better active noise cancellation, and higher audio quality. They're made from aluminum and memory foam, which are more premium materials than the plastic used on many other over-ear headphones. Each earcup has an Apple H1 chip, which processes and optimizes audio in real time, along with an accelerometer and optical, position, and case detect sensors. All of this hardware enables personalized Spatial Audio with accurate head tracking, so listening to audio mixed in Dolby Atmos sounds different than a stereo track. You can also listen to 24-bit 48 kHz lossless audio with no compression by plugging the AirPods Max (USB-C) into a device using Apple's USB-C to 3.5mm audio cable, which you can get for $39 at Amazon. The AirPods Max (USB-C) lasts up to 20 hours per charge with active noise cancellation enabled, so you won't have to worry about charging them every day. If their battery runs out, plugging them in for five minutes gets you 90 minutes of listening time. The headphones don't have a power button, but will enter a low power state if they're not used for five minutes or put into their included Smart Case.
