This amazing 55-inch TCL 4K TV is now just $330 at Walmart, but not for long

By

Every once in a while a deal comes across our desk that’s too good to miss — and that’s what we’re looking at today. This is because Walmart has knocked $120 off the 55-inch TCL 5-Series, dropping the price of the 4K TV from $450 down to just $330 ($55 per month with six-month financing). So whether you’re looking to breathe fresh life into your own entertainment setup this Christmas or spruce up someone else’s, this is the way to go.

Walmart hasn’t specified how long this deal will last or how much stock it has, and considering the price it’s fair to assume it’s already selling like hotcakes, so time is of the essence here. It hasn’t been discounted because it’s subpar slop, either — the TCL 5-Series is what’s known as a Roku TV, meaning it’s decked out with the streaming titan’s software, offering instant access to all of the leading services like Disney+ and Netflix.

And let’s not forget this is a 4K TV, so it’s also armed with all the usual features you’d expect to find on one, including multi-format HDR (headlined by Dolby Vision) for squeezing every last drop of detail from supported content and a 4K Upscale Engine for transforming standard HD and Full HD content into a higher 4K Ultra HD resolution. Plus, it can also be hooked up to an Android or iOS smartphone or tablet for hands-free voice navigation.

All in all, the 55-inch TCL 5-Series is a must-have for average viewers and hobbyists alike. Why? Because it looks fantastic, both on and off; is home to an unrivaled selection of live and on-demand content right out of the box — no set-top box or streaming stick required; and it couldn’t be easier to operate, catering to people of all ages. There are even four HDMI slots on the rear for all your accessories, such as Blu-ray players and gaming consoles.

Still not sure? Just look at what this happy customer had to say:

Love this TV. So glad we made this purchase! Great value and clear picture!

Weekend deal: Save $50 on this popular 4K dash cam at Best Buy
The Nextbase 622GW 4K Dash Cam on a car's windshield.

Whether it's a minor fender bender or a more significant car accident, having a dash cam can be a lifesaver, especially if you're dealing with insurance. Of course, there are a lot of dash cams to pick from with various levels of quality and features. Luckily, one of the better dash cams is on sale right now, the Nextbase 4k Dash Cam, and while it usually goes for $400, you can grab it from Best Buy for just $350. While that may not seem like much, $350 for a 4k-capable dash cam is impressive.

Why you should buy the Nextbase 622GW 4K Dash Cam
The Nexbase 622GW is packed with some impressive features, such as the 4k resolution, which films at 30fps, although it can film at 60fps at 2k and, interestingly, 120fps at 1080p, although we doubt you'll very much run the last mode regularly. More importantly, it comes with some advanced image stabilization to help deal with the vibrations and bumps from your car, plus it comes with some next-level night vision and image polarization to help with sunny conditions that might otherwise cause glare. Even better, it has internal processing capable of helping with misty conditions, making this a great camera for all-weather driving, which is impressive for such a small package.

Best 4K monitor deals: Get a 27-inch 4K monitor for $270 and more
Dual monitors set up on a desk.

So, you got yourself a shiny new desktop or laptop. Congratulations. Now it's time to start thinking about some of the accessories you'll need, and we're not just talking about a good keyboard and mouse combo. For instance, you might consider the best 4K monitor deals because it's super helpful to have an extra monitor even if you're not using the computer for work or productivity tasks. The extra monitor allows you to keep additional content onscreen, like Discord, a browser window open to YouTube or your favorite streaming platform, or some other activity. You can continue working, gaming, or browsing on the main display, while the rest is still visible on the secondary display. To do this, you'll want to check out some of the best monitor deals out there.
Today's best 4K monitor deals
There's a lot to choose from, but if you want to utmost quality and best visual experience you can opt for a 4K ultra-HD monitor. And yes, if you must know, there are 5k monitors available, too. Like a 4K TV, they're designed to display ultra-high-resolution content at a solid framerate, usually 60 frames per second or above -- 120Hz is the sweet spot. To help out a little, and help you sift through the vast selection, we've rounded up the best 4K monitor deals, all in one place.

Are 4K monitors worth it?
You might be wondering is 4K monitors are really worth it? After all, computer media and experiences are mostly different than anything you'll encounter on your average TV. But here's the thing, computers have access to a much larger array of resolutions, including high and ultra-high resolutions. Moreover, computers benefit from much smoother refresh rates, sometimes in excess of 120Hz -- 120 frames per second. That means you get a much smoother picture, a much better experience -- especially while gaming -- and frankly, there's nothing quite like it. Plus, the higher the supported resolution the higher you can crank the quality of your desktop and laptop visuals, provided they support higher resolutions.
What is the best size for a 4K monitor?
It really depends on what you're using the monitor for and what activities you plan to partake in. For example, if you're gaming or watching movies, the larger the display the better. If you're just going to be doing busywork and need enough screen real estate for a couple of browser windows then you can get by with a smaller monitor. For gamers, we always recommend looking at ultra-wide and curved displays because they're more immersive. In regards to size, the sweet spot is really anything about 27-inches or above. Ideally, you want 32-inches or so, that way you can use a single monitor with split windows to have multiple things going on at a time. Things get even better if you decide to expand with an extra monitor or two.
