Govee LED Strip Backlight With Dual Cameras Listed as a 4.5-Star Best-Selling Prime Day Deal
Watching a movie or a live sports event on a big screen in a darkened room was peak viewing for one reason — there wasn't an alternative to heighten the experience. Now that LED lighting technology has dramatically shrunk in size and cost, you can transform any room into a fun, immersive multimedia lair with the Govee Envisual LED Backlight T2, an app-controlled two-camera setup with LED strip lights for big screens between 55 and 65 inches. It's one of our favorite Amazon Prime Day deals at just $80, 43% off its usual $140 price. For the uninitiated, Govee's amazing LED striplight setups work in conjunction with cameras that mount to your TV frame and capture the action and the colors happening on the screen, and feed it to the lights which match the colors and the motion, so your TV is surrounded by active, vibrant backlighting that mirrors the screen. It's a fun, captivating extension of whatever is happening on your TV, and it's really amazing when you pair it with a fast-action video game. See at Amazon That's just about the best trifecta you can hope for from an electronics buy — advanced tech that's easy to install yourself and comes at a low price. Govee's LED TV backlighting setups and their other room- and home-transforming products always score high on this chart, but never more than right now thanks to Amazon's $80 Prime Day deal on the Envisual TV LED Backlight T2 setup. The setup is so easy you can easily go from unboxing to experimenting with the many lighting effects within an hour at the most, and it does not require you to mess with your TV or run any wires. The concept is as simple as the effects are brilliant — the Govee dual-camera module sits atop your TV screen via a gravity-mechanism structure that holds it in place even on ultra-thin TVs. The LED strip lights are adhesive, and attach easily to the back of your TV. From there, it's just a matter of installing the Govee Home app on your smartphone or tablet, connecting, and sitting back and watching the high-density RGBIC lights do their magic. There are 60 lights per meter in the strip, as opposed to older versions which had only 30, for a brighter, more brilliant show. Govee's patented Envisual technology does an amazing job of matching the colors on the screen, even as they move, and sending them to the LED strips to duplicate in real time. And if you already have a Govee LED setup, or you add another one to another part of your home later on — their product line is stuffed with indoor and outdoor lighting options — they can all be synced with the Govee Home app to work in conjunction with each other. This Prime Day deal for just $80 gets you the Govee Envisual TV Backlight T2 for 55- to 65-inch TVs (other sizes are also available), the four sections of LED strips and all the hardware you will need to attach them, the camera module, power source, and control box which also attaches to the back of your TV. Set it up in minutes and enjoy it for years — your TV and gaming will never look better than they do with Govee's interactive backlighting show. See at Amazon

The 22 best 4th of July TV and soundbar deals are already going live
If you're shopping for a new TV, you've come to the right place. Ahead of Independence Day weekend, over a dozen of our favorite home theater upgrades are going on sale. Including steep discounts on editor-loved picks, the 4th of July marks some of the first chances to save on 2025 televisions and much more at the best prices ever. I've been shopping retail holiday deals for nearly a decade, meaning I know a thing or two about which discounts are worth adding to cart and which aren't worth your hard-earned cash. As for the former, I found 22 of the best 4th of July deals you can shop right now. TCL 75-Inch QM6K QLED 4K Smart TV Normally, buying a massive TV like this will seriously clear out your wallet. But ahead of 4th of July weekend, this 75-inch TV from TCL is down to its best Amazon price ever. The last time I covered this TV, it sold for $1,300 with a $950 discount. It's currently an extra $100 off from its Memorial Day deal, saving you as much as $450. It combines a giant display with a gorgeous 4K QLED panel for a home theater experience you'll brag to your friends about over the long weekend. Samsung 55-Inch The Frame TV Ditch the black plastic bezel look that most TVs have. Samsung's The Frame TV stands out from just about every other television on this list with a unique design that blends in with the rest of your home's decor. This isn't the newest model, but that means you'll be able to take 33% off the usual price our review Amazon 55-Inch 4-Series Smart Fire TV A no-frills TV upgrade, this 55-inch Fire TV is a solid mid-sized 4K model that builds in streaming features so you don't need an extra streaming box. Plus, it's down to a record low price of 2025, which is $20 below the previous discount I tracked. Samsung 65-Inch S90D 4K OLED TV If you're looking for the best TV that CNN Underscored editors have tested, Samsung's recent S90D series is an upgraded version of our top pick. Today's discount takes $400 off, matching its Memorial Day discount and landing within $100 of its lowest price from the beginning of the year. Hisense 65-Inch CanvasTV Samsung's The Frame may be the best picture-frame-inspired TV on the market, but it's not the only one. Hisense's take on the same design is now $300 off when you buy the 65-inch version. It's down to its best price since February, coming within $100 of its lowest price of 2025. Samsung The Frame Pro TV One of the first chances to save on Samsung's improved art TV is here. This new Pro edition launched earlier this spring, and it brings improvements to the original's picture quality and aesthetics with its Wireless One Connect Box. That means you only need to run a power cord to the TV. It's seeing the same $200 discount as the first price cut, simultaneously returning it to the all-time our review Samsung 55-Inch Neo QLED Smart TV Take $200 off this new 2025 QLED TV from Samsung while it's on sale for one of the first times. It checks all the boxes for a TV in this price range, including 4K picture quality, 144Hz refresh rates and a Mini-LED panel. Oh, and most importantly, it comes with $500 in savings from the usual price tag. Samsung 65-Inch The Frame 4K Art TV It's not seeing as steep of a discount as the Pro version, but the latest 2025 edition of The Frame TV is also going on sale ahead of Independence Day. This 65-inch model just dropped by $100, offering the latest and greatest Art TV from Samsung at its lowest price yet. It comes complete with a new Mini-LED panel and better refresh rates for gaming. Samsung 55-Inch S85D OLED Smart TV If you care more about the picture quality on your TV versus the actual model itself, this 55-inch OLED is for you. Samsung takes $500 off for the 4th of July, landing this S85D and its Pantone-validated colors at its second-best price I've tracked since its launch last year. Samsung 77-Inch S90D OLED TV One of the best TV deals for this 4th of July, Samsung takes $1,700 off the massive OLED TV while delivering its best price ever. When my colleague, Henry T. Casey, tried this model for himself, he was impressed by its new 'glare-free' OLED technology. I'm sure he'll be even more impressed now that it's nearly half our review Samsung 65-Inch QN800D Neo QLED 8K TV TVs with 8K should rise to the top of your list if you're shopping for a home theater upgrade that'll be ready to handle all the home movie and gaming upgrades coming over the next few years. Samsung's NQ8 chip and AI upscaling tech ensure you can take full advantage of a gorgeous display now, with a $1,500 discount making it more affordable to take your existing movie nights to a whole new level. Insignia 70-Inch F50 4K Smart Fire TV The last time this 70-inch TV went on sale during Memorial Day, I was shocked to see it under $400. Now, for Independence Day, it's closer to $300 with a new all-time low discount that's $170 off. At $40 below the last discount I spotted, this offer is easily one of the best values on this list. Sony 65-Inch Bravia 8 OLED Smart Google TV This discounted Sony Bravia TV isn't quite at an all-time low, but it does offer one of the best viewing experiences a home theater could have. This 65-inch model packs an OLED display, Google smart tech and most of the features we loved when we reviewed the A95L version. It's $600 off and comes within $200 of its 2025 low price. Samsung 65-Inch S90D 4K OLED TV Choose from five sizes of Samsung's newest OLED TV, or just go with this 65-inch version to score the best value of the batch. It's an upgraded version of the best TV you can buy, and thankfully, it's $300 off if you do plan on bringing it to your home theater. TCL 75-Inch Q7 QLED 4K Smart Google TV Save $500 on this 75-inch TV at Best Buy. The extra screen real estate will come in handy for even more immersive movie nights, and all those MLB fans hoping to keep up with several baseball games at once. It's powered by the Google TV platform and packs a 4K QLED panel at its lowest price of the year. LG 65-Inch C4 OLED Evo Smart TV Take $300 off this popular LG C4 OLED TV while it's down to one of the best prices ever. We love its rich contrast and no-sacrifice movie-watching experience even more with this early holiday weekend discount. Insignia 65-Inch F50 Smart Fire TV Insignia is Best Buy's in-house brand, which means it can offer this F50 smart TV at one of the best prices on this list. It runs on Amazon's Fire TV platform and gives you the best bang for your buck for a 65-inch model at $150 off the going rate. TCL Q75H 5.1.2-Channel Dolby Atmos Soundbar This soundbar comes bundled with a wireless subwoofer for even more booming sound that I'd immediately put to the test by playing the bass-y sounds of Denis Villeneuve's "Dune." Then, I'd take full advantage of its AirPlay 2 tech for streaming music from my iPhone. The $150 discount makes this my favorite soundbar discount available right now. Amazon Fire TV Soundbar 2.0 If you already use a Fire TV or Amazon streaming stick and want to round out the experience, this soundbar is for you. It comes with DTS Virtual:X and Dolby Audio plus an eARC/ARC port, so you can plug it straight into your TV for simpler setup. It's also down to the best price of the year for Prime members at $35 off. Samsung HW-S60D 5-Channel Soundbar Dolby Atmos support is one of the main highlights of this Samsung soundbar, taking full advantage of its five-channel sound. I also love that it has AirPlay, Chromecast and Alexa features so you can use it with your preferred smart system. Best Buy is taking $70 off ahead of the holiday weekend. Sony S100F 2-Channel Soundbar Take 26% off this budget-friendly soundbar from Sony. If you're still relying on your TV's built-in speakers, this is a great option at a great price to finally step up to something that'll deliver better quality audio. JBL MK2 2-Channel All-in-One Soundbar Normally, when CNN Underscored talks about JBL, we're praising one of its portable Bluetooth speakers. The brand also makes home theater speakers worthy of the same attention, like this second-generation soundbar that's $50 off the going rate. CNN Underscored's deals experts are constantly shopping for the best discounts on the web. Outside of holiday weekends, we cover weekly guides to the steepest price cuts from specific retailers. These early 4th of July deals are worth a closer look now, considering many are at their lowest prices of the year, even beating previous discounts I've covered. I'm constantly tracking price cuts across multiple online storefronts to ensure the deals are as good as the retailers say. The rest of the deals team and I dive into the price history of each product while cross-referencing reviews and guides from other CNN Underscored editors to determine if it's worth your cash. Quite simply, our goal here at Underscored is to save you money. Our senior deals editor, Rikka Altland, has been doing just that for nearly a decade, and that kind of experience extends to the rest of our deals team. Being an advocate for buyers to ensure we recommend only the best prices on the best products is what we're all about, and that focus comes across in our work.

The TCL QM8K is out, so the QM6K is 19% off and the QM7K is 33% off
For those who are on the hunt for TV deals to upgrade their home theater setup, we highly recommend going for TCL. It's made a name as one of the best TV brands with the value that its products provide, and the flagship TCL QM8K, which we gave a score of 4.5 stars out of 5 stars in our review, is an excellent example of this. However, we'd like to highlight the discounts from Amazon on two other models in the same line: the 65-inch TCL QM6K at 19% off, for a $148 discount that brings it down to $650, and the 65-inch TCL QM7K at 33% off, for a $502 discount that brings it down to $998. The savings that you can get for the 65-inch TCL QM6K and the 65-inch TCL QM7K aren't going to last forever though. There's no telling how much time is remaining on these savings, or when the stocks that are up for sale will run out. If you're interested in buying either one of these QD-Mini LED TVs, we highly recommend proceeding with your purchase as soon as you can. TCL 65-inch QM6K QD-Mini LED 4K TV — $650 $798 19% off We described the TCL QM6K as 'the TV most people should buy' in our review, and that's even more true right now as you can get it at 19% off for a $148 discount. TCL's QD-Mini LED technology enables amazing black levels and lifelike colors, with its LD500 Precise Dimming technology for up to 500 precisely controlled dimming zones. The TV also offers 4K Ultra HD resolution for intense sharpness, up to a 288Hz refresh rate for gaming, and Onkyo Audio and Dolby Atmos for cinematic sound. TCL 65-inch QM7K QD-Mini LED 4K TV — $998 $1,500 33% off The TCL QM7K is even closer to the quality of the TCL QM6K, and it's available with a larger discount compared to the TCL QM6K — 33% off, for savings of $502. The TCL QM7K is among the recipients of our Top Tech of CES 2025 Awards, and that's partly because of its LD2500 Precise Dimming technology for up to 2,500 precisely controlled dimming zones, as well as the integration of Bang & Olufsen Audio. Everything that made the TCL QM6K a great TV is elevated further in the TCL QM7K, making it our recommended choice for a TV in this budget range.

For more deals, visit Shopping for a TV tends to bring up a lot of questions. You're trying to pick a brand, a size and you need to understand all the language around a variety of extra features. To help, we've answered a few of the most asked questions. A TV with 4K offers a much clearer picture than regular HD TVs. It has a resolution called Ultra HD (UHD), which means it has about four times more pixels than a Full HD TV. The higher pixel count makes the images on the screen look sharper and more lifelike. A smart TV offers much more than just TV channels. They come loaded with apps like Netflix, Hulu, Paramount+ and other streaming services, although you will still need subscriptions to these services to use the apps. Many smart TVs also come with voice control capabilities through built-in assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant. They also support screen mirroring, which allows you to display content from your smartphone, laptop or tablet on the TV screen. The right size TV for you depends on your needs. A smaller room requires a smaller TV (unless you're willing to have it take up the entire room), while larger living rooms and entertainment rooms can house TVs up to 100 inches. A good mid-level TV is a 40- or 50-inch TV, which is large enough to keep the whole family entertained.
