This 65-inch 4K Ultra HD LED Smart Google TV is the latest from a manufacturer that's long been at the forefront of top-notch home video. No shocker, then, that the display on this set is dazzlingly vivid and detailed. Originally $1,000, this beauty is available for only $898 for extended 4th of July sales.

Sony’s state-of-the-art Processor X1 is the power behind its true-to-life visuals, while HDR (High Dynamic Range) settings make sure colors stay bright and black levels are dark. Get ready: It’s going to feel like you’re sitting in the middle of all the action.

This 4K TV includes Google TV with instant access to hundreds of popular streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, HBO Max, Paramount+, Peacock and much, much more. It even has built-in Chromecast for slinging videos and music from your phone or tablet to the TV. Also: The remote has a microphone that lets you use Google Assistant for voice search and hands-free navigation. And shoppers just love it too.

"In one word: Awesome....," raved a five-star reviewer of this Sony. "It can be adjusted to give you absolute black even in a dark room; 4K and HDR are amazing..."

Still on sale for $227 — an incredible $123 off! — the Beats Studio3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones (in Matte Black) mix style and performance in one sleek design. These are Beats’ premium noise-canceling headphones that work seamlessly with just about any Apple device, including the iPhone, iPad and MacBook. The way they sync to your Apple products, thanks to Apple’s W1 chip for instant pairing, is magical. And Amazon shoppers are hooked.

"These are the best headphones I’ve ever had," shared a delighted Amazon shopper. "I travel 99 percent of the time for work and am on planes twice a week. I am exhausted and don’t want to talk to people. These are perfect for when you’re feeling anti-social on the plane, in the airport....hell, anywhere! The 22-hour battery life and noise cancellation are mind-blowing. Definitely worth the money!"

For post-4th of July, Lowe's is giving you a chance to score the Google Nest Mini (second generation) and GE Smart Plug for just $40 (was $60).

Enjoy crisp vocals and balanced bass while you stream songs from Spotify, YouTube Music, SiriusXM, Pandora, Apple Music and more. Want a smart home? Now’s the time! If you have a phone in your pocket and a Wi-Fi network at home, you’re well on your way to building a smart home.

Plus, the bundle includes the GE Smart Plug (a $15 value), which can easily pair with the Google Nest Mini. Simply plug into a wall outlet, then plug in anything like a lamp, a TV or even a coffeemaker.

Then connect the plug to your Wi-Fi network and use your phone to sync to the Google Home app (for Android smartphones and Apple iPhones). That’s it! Now you can control just about anything in your home with your phone or just the sound of your voice via the Google Assistant. Fun!

"I am amazed at how much sound can come out of this little bitty device," said a five-star Lowe's reviewer. "The ease of setting it up via Wi-Fi was a breeze...I would recommend this little device for not only sound, but also ease of use. It can make your life simple and up-to-date if you carry a busy workload. Set a reminder and it will remind you even with a little music."

On sale for $180 (was $230), the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 weighs just over a pound and features 32GB of storage (expandable up to 1TB via microSD card). That's got it all over Apple’s entry level tablet, which isn’t expandable. And unlike the iPad, the Tab A7’s 10.4-inch display has a full HD widescreen for immersive viewing.

Also out-Apple-ing Apple? The A7's camera set is better than the one that comes with the iPad. It has an eight-megapixel selfie cam with a five-megapixel rear shooter on the front for video calls. "Mostly use for mobile gaming. Tried to play PS4 remote play, and it worked," reported a satisfied gamer. "Sound is great and build quality is better than iPad. Speed is seamless."

On sale for $30 (was $60), The Last of Us Part II for PlayStation 4 is set five years after the first game and follows Ellie and Abby as they continue to survive in a post-apocalyptic United States. This is one of the best games of 2020 and it’s half off at Walmart.

“I have played it three times now,” shared a delighted gamer. “On each play through, I found something new, which I most likely missed because of the insane attention to detail in this game. It all started to make sense after my second play through. I think that The Last of Us Part II is one of the best storytelling masterpieces out there.”

Easy to fill and I hand wash the mop attachment each night and air dry it for the next evening. Attractive design. Thorough cleaning. Can't beat the price. It holds a charge for at least 110 mins. I'm completely satisfied."

The sleek, incredibly thin Samsung Chromebook is actually more than just a laptop. It has a brilliant 12.2-inch HD touchscreen display (at 1900x1200 resolution) and flexible 360-degree hinge, so it can rotate to any angle for use as a tablet.

"I wanted both a tablet and a computer. I love that you can download apps and use them for both the computer and the tablet form," reported a delighted five-star reviewer. "The stylus makes using Lightroom and other creative apps a breeze. Being able to use the cloud is a must because the storage would fill up pretty quickly...The large screen is also a good thing for activities like editing photos, drawing, and taking notes. Start up, web browsing, and apps are quick. The battery life is really great for everyday use..."

Big fan of the tamper as I have ruined more than my fair share of spoons with other blenders."

Tired of pleading with your cat to stop scratching the sides of your couch? This pole just might be the temptation she needs to stay away. It's covered in thick sisal rope, and has a wide base so it won't topple over as she digs her claws in. At the very top, a rotating feather (or mouse, or ball — the scratcher comes with plenty of options) ensures she's fully engaged. You can even adjust the height of the pole, so smaller cats and kittens can get in on the fun.

"Our cats have been obsessed with this thing since I set it up!" a shopper shared. "They immediately went crazy for the toys it came with and are now scratching the post instead of my furniture! Amen!"
