Our entry-level publication this week is full of amazing deals, many of which are currently meeting the best prices so far. Both the 65-inch and 77-inch LG C1 OLEDs are selling at the lowest prices ever on Amazon, for example, with the 65-inch panel costing $ 1,596.99 instead of $ 2,499.99. Other discounted sizes are available, but you’ll want to turn your attention to 65- or 77-inch models for the best price.
Although we’ve never reviewed the C1, several staff members have the 2021 model and can’t seem to keep quiet about it – not only because it offers excellent visual precision, but also because of its list of great features for gamers. In addition to 4K resolution and Dolby Vision support – which allows for incredible color depth – the C1 has a Game Optimizer feature that lets you switch between Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync, a technology that delivers ultra-smooth images for its refresh rate of 120 Hz. Connect this to the response time of 1 ms on the panel and you will get one of the best gaming TVs available today.
The C1 also has a number of excellent quality of life features built-in, including support for Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa voice assistants, HDMI 2.1 and Apple’s AirPlay 2. In total, the LG C1 has four HDMI ports, one eARC port, three USB ports and one optical audio connection.

Right now you can get a free Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 when you purchase an unlocked 128GB Samsung S22 Ultra for $ 949.51 on Amazon. The Galaxy Watch 4 usually costs $ 230, and the 128GB version of the S22 Ultra is usually $ 1,199.99. The S22 has been the subject of some significant discounts since its debut, but the addition of the Galaxy Watch 4 makes it the best value we’ve seen on this phone so far.
S22 Ultra is the largest phone offered by Samsung after the Note series (RIP). The phone’s massive 6.8-inch screen has a resolution of 1440 x 3088 and is powered by a fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, which provides excellent responsiveness and performance. The extensive display also comes with Samsung’s S Pen, a stylus that conveniently attaches to the phone’s chassis, and an impressive array of cameras consisting of a 108MP standard shooter, 10MP telephoto and 12MP ultra-wide. There is also a 40MP front camera for taking selfies.
Our biggest remark – apart from the poor night selfie mode – is the battery, which struggled to last during the day without the need to recharge. Despite its shortcomings, however, we still consider the S22 Ultra to be an excellent phone, and it’s definitely worth a look when a free smartwatch is added to the mix.
Note that the Galaxy Watch 4 model offered here has a 44 mm face and is the only Bluetooth configuration of this watch, unlike the LTE version. Our consensus on this wearable device was a bit mixed, due to its dependence on the Samsung application ecosystem, but it remains one of the best smartwatches available thanks to its fast performance and stable health tracking capabilities. Read our reviews for the S22 Ultra and Galaxy Watch 4.
The lightweight, 256GB configuration of the M1 MacBook Air currently sells at Best Buy for only $ 899.99 ($ 100 off). This is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen for this $ 999.99 laptop since January, making it an ideal choice for anyone already thinking about the new school year. While newer and more powerful Apple laptops are certainly available, the current discount makes the aging Air noteworthy.
This 13-inch laptop has a 2560 x 1600 Retina display and although it may not have a touch screen, it is still equipped with Apple’s True Tone technology, which adjusts the color temperature of the screen based on your current lighting environment. In addition to the fast M1 processor, which allows Air to run Intel-based applications in addition to those native to macOS, Air also includes 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD. The M1 processor also helps extend Air’s battery life by allowing it to run for up to 18 hours on a single charge.
The MacBook Air’s slim profile only allows a pair of USB-C ports, but both are compatible with Thunderbolt 4, allowing the laptop to pair with a docking station for added connectivity. The 720p webcam definitely leaves little to be desired, but otherwise the M1 MacBook Air remains a solid laptop, especially for college graduates. Read our review.

Typically $ 99.99, the Logitech MX Master 3 wireless mouse currently sells in black or gray at Office Depot for $ 74.99, the lowest price we’ve seen for the first-generation peripherals. In addition to the typical button layout, Master 3 has a pair of buttons located under the thumb that can be used to navigate your browser history, a side scroll wheel and a sneaky button hidden in the thumb holder that can be matched with each feature using Logitech software. The chassis has a gripping, ergonomic design and a scroll wheel, which, frankly, is worth the price just for access. You can also toggle the wheel to move in steps or rotate freely, allowing you to quickly scroll through large walls of text.
The sensor used in Master 3 has a maximum of 4K DPI, and while it won’t be anyone’s first choice for gaming, it still offers accurate tracking and allows the battery to stretch for a remarkable 70 days on a single charge. The mouse is also compatible with Windows or macOS and can pair with devices via 2.4Ghz wireless or Bluetooth. The only real drawback here is that the mouse is made strictly for right-handed users (sorry, left-handed).
Logitech MX Master 3 Advanced Wireless Mouse
The Logitech MX Master 3 Advanced is a Bluetooth wireless laser mouse designed for efficiency. It has seven buttons, an electromagnetic wheel for fast scrolling and is compatible with Windows and macOS. Dell offers a $ 40 digital gift card with the purchase.
The excellent Blue Yeti microphone is currently reduced in silver to its lowest price ever on Amazon. Now priced at $ 79.99 instead of $ 129.99, this well-rounded microphone is often considered a staple for streamers, podcasters, and anyone who doesn’t like to sound underwater during Zoom meetings.
This capsule-shaped microphone can be tuned to a variety of pickup models with on-board controls that allow you to fine-tune the gain and volume.

The microphone is compatible with both Windows and macOS and connects to devices using a Mini USB cable, which allows you to make settings using your own Blue VO! CE software. The bottom of the microphone also has a 3.5mm audio output if you want to plug in a monitor headphone so you can know how it sounds to the rest of the world.
