Our test Guide to the best TVs for more recommendations.
This is ours Favorite TV for most people (9/10, WIRED Recommend), and this is the lowest price we’ve ever tracked for the 55-inch model. It features a quantum dot panel for bright colors and uses local dimming areas for deeper blacks in your movies and shows. It has a built-in Roku interface and Micro-LED backlighting for exceptional contrast. This agreement is also available at Walmart.
It may not sound like a deal, but this price recently dropped to an all-time low. This is one of the most beautiful TVs we tested. The bezels are super thin, the OLED panel is great and delivers deep blacks and rich colors, and it has the Android TV interface, which means you can also cast to it from your phone. It has weird pins on either end, so it’s best to hang it on the wall unless you have a large TV stand.
This is a basic, low-end TV from Hisense, but we like the brand and trust its build quality, unlike some other regular Amazon TVs we haven’t tested. You get Dolby Vision high dynamic range support (read: better colors) and built-in Fire TV for streaming your favorite Amazon shows.
This is just $2 more than the lowest price we’ve ever tracked. U8G (8/10, WIRED Recommend) has a sleek design, an Android TV interface, and a stand that lifts up to fit the soundbar underneath. Its excellent local dimming translates to great contrast with the quantum dot panel, and you also get a 120 Hz screen refresh rate. Pair it with a PC with an AMD card to take advantage of AMD FreeSync support for smoother gameplay.
If you’ve been shopping for an extra-large display, this is one of the best discounts we’ve seen on a 75-inch model in months. It comes with Fire TV for easy streaming and Amazon shopping, plus full-array local dimming which means black levels and highlights will look better than cheaper monitors.

Samsung’s Galaxy S22 (9/10, WIRED Recommend) is a great all-round premium Android phone.

Then it goes a step further with premium perks like a 120 Hz AMOLED display, four OS upgrades, plus five years of security updates. At this price point, it’s an exceptional value.
If you’re bored with smartphones that are essentially rectangular slabs, perhaps a folding phone like the Galaxy Z Flip 3 (7/10, WIRED Recommend) will excite you. This is the lowest price we’ve ever tracked for it, and one of the lowest we’ve seen on a foldable phone. Unlike previous versions, the third-generation Flip is a lot more durable — complete with IPX8 water resistance. This compact device has a smooth 120 Hz display, wireless charging and 5G connectivity.
Moto G Stylus 5G (6/10, WIRED rating) received an honorable mention of Best Android phone—We beat it for the lack of software and security updates, as well as the poor quality camera (compared to the similarly priced Pixel 5A and Samsung Galaxy A53). However, it offers smooth performance, two days of battery life, 5G connectivity, and NFC for contactless payments. The built-in stylus is also useful for jotting down notes or signing documents right from a smartphone.
