A 100-inch Hisense TV for less than $1,000? Sign me up!
It's hard to say no to a big TV, especially when it's from a well-respected and recognizable brand like Hisense. It's even harder to say no when said TV is less than $1,000. Such is the case this week with the humongous Hisense 100-inch U7N Series. For a limited time, this hulking beast is marked down to $900, a $100 discount from its usual $1,000 sticker. It's one of the best TVs for under $1,000, so if you're interested in buying, we wouldn't hold out too long. Why you should buy the Hisense 100-inch U7N Series The Hisense U7N Series scored 4 out of 5 stars in our hands-on review. Reviewer Caleb Denison praised the TV for its peak brightness levels, arresting colors, and excellent gaming features, and these are laurels we're still willing to stand behind several months after that review first went live. Thanks to advanced local dimming and pure LED boldness, the Hisense U7 is able to get very bright when watching both SDR and HDR content. And thanks to quantum dots and the brand's cutting-edge picture processing, the U7 delivers exceptional color accuracy and contrast levels, too. While light bloom can occur around certain objects in darker scenes (a common QLED issue), we're glad this TV gets bright enough to overcome glare in a room filled with ambient light. It's also not too shabby for a darker home theater space, though black levels may appear inaccurate most of the time. Other noteworthy features include HDMI 2.1 connectivity, as well as VRR and ALLM support, ensuring the U7 brings its A-game to all your favorite PS5 and Xbox titles. You also get apps, free live TV stations, and smart home controls via the TV's Google TV smart hub. Save $100 on the Hisense 100-inch U7N Series 4K ULED when you purchase today.

Panasonic's flagship 65-inch OLED has a $700 discount today
It's been a minute since Panasonic TVs were available stateside, so you can imagine our excitement when the Panasonic Z95A Series 4K OLED hit shelves several months ago. We were able to test this North American comeback model, and our editorial team said, 'Stunning picture and shockingly good sound help make the Panasonic Z95A one of the top 5 TVs we've ever reviewed.' This week, when you purchase the Panasonic 65-inch Z95A, you'll pay a discounted price of $2,500 plus tax. That's a $700 markdown from the TV's original price! Why you should buy the Panasonic Z95A Series The Panasonic Z95A is one of those glorious flagship sets that endures every single test-bench procedure near-flawlessly. This 4K OLED has a wide color gamut, especially when watching movies in HDR. Expect rich, lifelike colors and the kind of inky black levels Panasonic plasma TVs used to be known for! The Z95 has great glare and reflection handling, too, and can get bright enough when watching SDR content to go up against ambient light sources in your living room or home theater. It also has a native 144Hz refresh rate and a boatload of gaming optimizations, including a dedicated True Game picture mode for improved response time and reduced input lag. You may have noticed the giant speaker system built into this TV. It's actually a full-on Panasonic 5.1 soundbar with an integrated woofer that punches well above its weight class. Apps, screen mirroring, and smart home controls are available once the TV is connected to the Internet, with Amazon's Fire TV OS running the show. The ads are a bit annoying, but other than that, it's a rock-solid smart hub! Save $700 on the Panasonic 65-inch Z95A Series 4K OLED when you purchase today. We also recommend taking a look at our lists of the best OLED TV deals, best TV deals, and best Amazon deals for even more discounts on top-rated TVs.

Michelle Williams Shades ‘Crash' Winning Best Picture Oscar Over ‘Brokeback Mountain' by Asking: I Mean, What Was ‘Crash'?
Michelle Williams appeared on 'Watch What Happens Live' to promote her new FX series 'Dying for Sex.' During the interview, host Andy Cohen took a brief moment to call out one of her most acclaimed movies: Ang Lee's 'Brokeback Mountain.' Willians earned an Oscar nomination for playing Alma, the increasingly isolated wife of Heath Ledger's damaged cowboy. Cohen explained to Williams 'what an important movie 'Brokeback Mountain'' was to him and so many gay men at the time of its 2005 theatrical release, adding: 'I think it's still in my top two movies of all time. Did you realize at the time you were making that, what a profound impact it was going to have on people?' More from Variety Michelle Williams' Superb 'Dying for Sex' Is a Defiantly Joyful Tale of Terminal Cancer and BDSM: TV Review New York Film Critics Circle Sets January 2026 Awards Date Academy Apologizes for Not Naming 'No Other Land' Director Hamdan Ballal Amid Outcry From More Than 800 Voters 'Yes, because people were so open about it,' Williams answered. 'I remember doing the junket, you don't get an opportunity to see a lot of grown men cry, and that was the moment I think that we all knew it was going to be special to people.' Cohen then brought up the infamous 2006 Oscars where 'Crash' shockingly won best picture over presumed frontrunner 'Brokeback Mountain.' Many industry pundits to this day consider the decision to be one of the Academy's worst in history. 'Brokeback' had already won the BAFTA, Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award for best picture at that point in the season. Then 'Crash' pulled up the controversial upset. 'I was very upset about the best picture loss,' Cohen said. 'I mean, 'Crash'? Is that what won?' Williams then offered her own shade to the delight of the studio audience by asking. 'I mean, what was 'Crash'?' 'Thank you, I mean, who's talking about 'Crash' right now?' Cohen responded to silence from his audience. 'I hear a pin drop. Yes, very upset!' Ang Lee told IndieWire last year that 'Brokeback' winning best picture was so presumed that an Oscars stagehand told him to stay backstage and not go back to his seat after Lee was awarded best director. In the aftermath of the 'Crash' upset, many pundits accused the Academy of homophobia. 'Back then, ['Brokeback Mountain'] had a ceiling,' Lee explained. 'We got a lot of support — up to that much. It has that feeling. I wasn't holding a grudge or anything. It's just how they were.'
