This 55-inch Sony OLED 4K TV hits an all-time low price in this Prime Day deal
Sony's A80K features a beautiful display and enhanced gaming tech for $702 off
It wouldn't be Prime Day without that one deal that makes you say "whoa," and if you've been scouring for a good offer on a new TV and smart home device, this one just may have you clicking the "Buy Now" button. There are literally hundreds of 4K TV deals going on right now at Amazon (and just about everywhere else), but few offer a display of this quality for such a good price. Sony's Bravia XR series TVs are some of the top displays on the market, and they've got the price tags to show it with the 55-inch option starting at $1,800. However, Amazon's offering an unbeatable deal that takes $702 off this gorgeous display, bringing it down to just under $1,100 — the premium OLED display's lowest price ever.
Samsung's 65-inch QLED 4K TV deal is the quantum leap your movie night needs
HDR 32X and Dolby Atmos are just the icing on Samsung's Quantum cake
While it may feel like you need some sort of science degree to shop Samsung's 4K TVs, rest assured the brand just likes to use big words to get their point across. However, their extensive use of the term Quantum doesn't detract from the fact that they offer some of the best smart TVs on the market. A fact that rings true even more so with their premium Neo QLED Series 4K smart TVs, which aim to take your viewing experience to the next level. The price of one of these displays may send you there as well, but thankfully Samsung's running a late Memorial Day deal that takes $1,000 off the 65-inch option and drops it down to one of its best prices ever.

No more switching between streaming apps
YouTube TV aims to be a one-stop-shop for all of your entertainment needs, bundling streaming add-ons like HBO Max and Showtime into its collection of live channels.

It seems to be rolling out slowly to the app on smart TV platforms and set top boxes
YouTube TV is already fairly pricey, as cable-cutting services go. But if you want even more content on top of its standard live TV channels and on-demand video, you can add on more packages (just like old-fashioned cable TV, for better or worse). An interface tweak is making it easier to find these options on television, without having to search for them on a phone app or the web.

Televisions rocking 4K displays are so this decade. The second coming of the roaring 20s will be headlined by a new wave of display technology that is so indiscernible from reality, you'll never want to get up from your couch (wait, isn't this how Wall-E started?).

As 8K TVs inch ever closer to the mainstream, 4K sets continue to plummet in price. TCL's affordable 4-Series Roku TVs might not be the flashiest option in this product segment, but they pack just as many pixels as pricier units, and Roku is one of the better built-in app suites — and right now, they're cheaper still, starting at just $199.99.Your 200 bucks will net you a 43-inch 4K set. It's been going for about $230 for the past few weeks, so you're saving $30. If you're in the market for a larger screen, the 55-incher is only $100 more at $299.99. That's also $30 off the street price.

Sling's $5-per-month Cloud DVR service is expanding to a number of new devices. Subscribers can now watch their stored shows in the Chrome browser and on any screen that functions as a Chromecast receiver, as well as on Xbox One, LG smart TVs, and Samsung smart TVs from 2016 or later.
YouTube Kids was originally released in 2015, as a portal for child-appropriate content on everyone's favorite video sharing site. However, there hasn't been a dedicated TV app for YouTube Kids, just iOS and Android apps. Today on the official company blog, YouTube announced a Kids app for various smart TVs - but Android TV is still strangely missing.
You know what's great? Having lots of streaming content available on your TV. What's not so great is when your quest to stream content results in ransomware bricking your TV. One fellow on Twitter shared the story of an LG TV that caught some nasty malware, and now it's apparently useless. Perhaps technology has gone too far.
Oh snap, here comes another entry into the mobile OS game. Instead of some no-name third-party, though, Canonical has plans to step up to the plate with Ubuntu and see how it fares at on-the-go computing. Once the finishing touches have been put on the the upcoming LTS (long term service) release -- version 12.04 -- Canonical plans to start porting Ubuntu to mobile handsets, tablets, and even smart TVs.
