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).

Walmart Stock (WMT) Switches on as Vizio TVs Set to Grab Holiday Season Share
Walmart (WMT) stock was higher today on hopes that its Vizio-powered televisions will make more investors and customers switch on to the business.

According to a memo seen by Bloomberg News by the end of this year, Walmart is planning to convert Vizio into a private label brand and sold exclusively in its stores, online and at Sam's Club. Media Empire That means its smart TVs would not be sold on Amazon (AMZN) and Target (TGT). Walmart bought Vizio and its SmartCast Operating System back in February 2024 for $2.3 billion. The memo states that by making Vizio's hardware and advertising capabilities exclusive to Walmart retail channels will help the company fortify and differentiate its growing media empire from that of its competitors. It also states that over 20 of its 90 private-label brands generate at least $1 billion in annual sales. It is understood that Walmart is launching a new lineup of smart TVs under the in-house Onn brand, powered by Vizio, later this year for the holidays season. That should open up another valuable revenue stream for the group. Holiday TV The operating system on Walmart's Onn smart TVs and Vizio TVs will reportedly be indistinguishable, with both offering access to popular apps like Netflix (NFLX) and Amazon's Prime Video. Walmart will stop licensing the Roku operating system for its Onn smart TVs and will shift to using SmartCast on an exclusive basis. In an analyst note today, focused on Roku (ROKU) rather than Walmart, Daniel Kurnos of Benchmark said that one of its main challenges was the U.S. retail giant's new TV range. 'The ongoing narrative around potential share loss to Walmart is going to be tough to dispel given how far out that event might be, never mind how long it will take Walmart to transition their ONN TVs,' he wrote. However long the wait Walmart is already competing well with its traditional rivals. Is WMT a Good Stock to Buy Now? On TipRanks, WMT has a Strong Buy consensus based on 28 Buy ratings. Its highest price target is $120. WMT stock's consensus price target is $111.33 implying a 15.84% upside.

Johor MB calls for urgent action over prolonged autogate disruption
JOHOR BARU: Mentri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi has voiced his disappointment regarding a system disruption involving the autogates that lasted over 24 hours, causing congestion at checkpoints. He noted that the disruption affected the smooth flow of in and out transactions. "I have extended this matter directly to relevant parties at the Federal level. I urge immediate steps to be taken to ensure that this issue does not repeat," he said after making a surprise visit to the Bangunan Sultan Iskandar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine (BSI) here. Onn emphasized the need for an efficient, consistent operating system capable of functioning optimally at all times. "As I have stated before, despite some improvements in crowd management, it is not adequate. Operations at the country's border gates have not yet reached the level of efficiency we expected," he remarked, adding that such incidents not only inconvenience the public but also affect the state and country's image. Since Friday noon, foreigners have been unable to use all autogates nationwide, though those with Malaysian passports remain unaffected. As of press time, some autogates have begun resuming services in stages nationwide since 4.30pm. More to come

Amazon Fire Stick users yell ‘I am done' after huge overhaul is revealed and it could mean MORE ads on your TV
AMAZON Fire Stick users have vowed to boycott the company following a major overhaul. The company announced it will occasionally push an update to a tiny number of random Fire TV devices as an experiment. 1 It is yet unknown if this will rolled out to all devices. The update will see viewers' top apps moved to a dedicated row on the home screen. And instead of only seeing your favourite six selections, users will now be able to see their top 10. Your first top app would still only be two clicks away in the new location; three if you count the first click needed to close the auto-expanding header ad. Users are disappointed But users flocked to rally against the "disappointing and unacceptable" update. One fumed: "I no longer trust Amazon on anything. "Therefore, I finally broke down and bought a Homatics box." A second weighed in: "With that layout it's not a streaming device anymore." A third user added: "I'M DONE. I will give up and replace my FireTV Cube with another Onn 4k Pro. "Very disappointing and unacceptable." Freevee app shutting down It comes after Amazon announced it is planning to shut down its stand-alone Freevee app in August, according to an in-app notice to users. The free, ad-supported streaming service is directing viewers to continue watching Freevee content on Prime Video. The notice stated: 'Prime Video is the new exclusive home for Freevee TV shows, movies and Live TV. 'The Freevee app will be accessible until August 2025. Continue watching your favorite Free Originals and our library of hit movies, shows, and live TV on Prime Video for free. "No subscription needed. Download Prime Video to get started and sign-in with your Amazon account.' The move doesn't come as a surprise, as Amazon confirmed back in November 2024 that it was sunsetting the service and integrating its content into Prime Video. Freevee content was already available through both apps and there had been murmurs earlier this year that the name could be axed after Prime introduced ads. Amazon said in a statement at the time that it had 'Decided to phase out Freevee branding.
