During its Amazon Device Event on September 25, Amazon unveiled a packed lineup of new smart products. These Alexa devices are now available for pre-order, just in time for early holiday gift shopping. Get the new Echo Show 8 together with a Ring indoor camera if you are looking for gift ideas for the family. This

smart home bundle

is perfect for staying in touch with loved ones. Plus, you get to save $30 off the combined prices of these devices.

Bought separately, the Echo Show 8 and Ring indoor camera will cost you $190. Amazon lets you get these Alexa devices together for a discounted price of $160. Place your order today and give your loved ones an early holiday gift.

With the announcement of the Echo Show 8, there are now three Alexa-enabled smart displays available. This new Echo Show features an 8-inch HD screen in the same form factor as its 5-inch and 10-inch brothers. It is a middle option that offers features similar to the bigger Echo Show but at a price closer to the budget-friendly Echo Show 5.

Just like the other Amazon smart displays, the Echo Show 8 is a versatile device that lets you see and do more with Alexa. And one of the main benefits of having an Echo Show is being able to manage compatible smart home devices with your voice. With it, you can ask Alexa to show you your Ring indoor camera feed or turn the lights on or off, among other functions.

The growing list of tasks Alexa can do for you through the Echo Show 8 also includes setting alarms and timers, creating calendar events, and bringing up your favorite Food Network TV shows. Plus, you can use the smart display to connect with loved ones through video calls, voice messages, or with the Drop-In feature.

Setup is fairly simple for both the Echo Show 8 and Ring indoor camera, making this bundle a great gift for your parents or grandparents. If needed, you can guide them through the process over the phone. Use of these smart home devices is also straightforward and can be done by all members of the family.

Amazon splits the price on this splittable soundbar — 53% off
JBL Bar 9.1 Dolby Atmos Soundbar wireless speaker

The JBL Bar 9.1 is what you might call a "splittable" soundbar, and now its price has been split, too, as it is over half off. Normally $1,200, you can now get one for just $570, and that even includes a 10-inch subwoofer. That's a discount of $630 or 53% off, all yours if you tap the button below. But you'll need to hurry as this deal will end once a set number of the soundbars are sold. And right now, at the time of this writing, 36% of the total amount have already been claimed. But, if you need more information you can keep reading to see our experiences with the soundbar and its detachment mechanism, plus some other considerations.

Best Buy is knocking $70 off this 50-inch 4K TV
Insignia F30 TV on a TV stand in a living room.

If you're on a tighter budget and want to grab yourself a nice big TV, then you'll be happy to know that Best Buy is running a special deal on its Insignia TVs that will let you grab a 50-inch one for pretty cheap. While you could go for some of the best TVs on the market, they often cost thousands of dollars and will likely have features you aren't likely to use. On the other hand, this 50-inch Insignia TV deal is going to cost you only $230 at Best Buy instead of the usual $300, so you get yourself a rather massive 4K TV for a very solid price.

Why you should buy the Insignia 50-inch F30 Series 4K TV
While this 50-inch Insignia F30 Series may be on the more budget-oriented side, that doesn't mean it's missing some important features, such as HDR10, which provides you with a lot better contrast than a traditional TV. You also get the higher 60Hz refresh rate, where you'd usually find 50Hz on more budget-friendly options, and it does mean that it's perfect for gaming on a PS5 or Xbox Series X or Series S since most games on those consoles tend to be locked at 4K at 60Hz anyway.

Grab this 65-inch Samsung 8K TV while it’s $600 off
The 2024 Samsung-QN800D Neo QLED 8K TV.

If you want your next purchase from TV deals to stay relevant for many years to come, you should consider going for the 65-inch Samsung QN800D Neo QLED 8K TV. It's currently on sale from Samsung with a $600 discount that brings its price down from $3,500 to $2,900. It's still pretty expensive, but that's actually an excellent price for an 8K TV. You're going to have to be quick if you're thinking about taking advantage of this offer though, as we're not sure how much time is remaining before you miss your chance at the savings.

Why you should buy the 65-inch Samsung QN800D Neo QLED 8K TV
The Samsung QN800D is the runner-up in our list of the best 8K TVs -- behind the Samsung QN900D. It's safe to say that Samsung has an early lead in this space, and it's easy to see why as the Samsung QN800D is simply "phenomenal." Its 65-inch display provides sharp details, amazing depth, and lifelike colors with its 8K resolution. Samsung's NQ8 AI Gen2 Processor, which is powered by 256 AI neutral networks, can upscale content to 8K quality. The 8K TV also offers AI Auto Game Mode that optimizes settings depending on the video game that you're playing, and AI Energy Mode that makes adjustments based on on-screen content and ambient lighting to reduce electricity usage.
