Best Buy drops a fantastic deal on this awesome LG 50-inch 4K TV

In the market for a 4K TV? You’re in luck — Best Buy has wiped $100 off one of LG’s finest 50-inch models, sending the price tumbling down to $400. There’s no word on how long the promotion will last, however, so flip your plastic over to the numbered side and start punching the digits into the retailer’s website to avoid disappointment.

It’s rare to find a 4K TV as well-rounded as the 50-inch UM7300PUA for less than $500, so at $400 it’s a must-have, offering a number of desirable features — like a 4K LED screen that’s crisp, sharp, and has a fantastic viewing angle, and an A.I.-driven upscale engine that can wrangle HD and Full HD content into 4K Ultra HD with ease.

There are also three HDMI and USB slots, which should be more than enough seeing as the TV has integrated Wi-Fi and is loaded with LG’s WebOS smart platform, providing you with access to a slew of leading streaming services, including Amazon Prime Video, Google Play Movies and TV, Hulu, Netflix, Sling TV, and YouTube.

With all that functionality on board, navigating using a remote control could prove to be a little tiresome. After all, scrolling through an endless stream of applications on a touchscreen-clad smartphone is painful enough, and it can also be a chore on a TV. But that shouldn’t be an issue, as this particular model has Google Assistant on board.

That’s advantageous for two reasons: 1) You can adjust all the television’s core system functions without having to reach for the remote; and 2) It’s connected to your Google Account, so you can also use it to control Google-connected devices, like your Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner, Nest thermostat, and Philips Hue lighting.

Here’s a quick look at the types of commands it’s capable of executing:

  • “Play Brooklyn Nine-Nine on Netflix.”
  • “Set the thermostat to 72.”
  • “Mute the volume, and change over to HDMI 2.”
  • “Tell the Roomba to start cleaning now.”
  • “Turn off when The Perfect Date is over.”

Even though it’s featuring a price cut, $400 is still a lot of dough to shell out in one go, and Best Buy knows that, which is why it’s offering customers in need of a helping hand the option to split that figure over a twelve-month period (with a few cents of interest thrown in), balancing out to a more affordable $33 per month.

If you’re after something a little smaller or bigger, check out our list of the best 4K TV deals available right now (spoiler: there’s a colossal 75-inch Samsung QLED for $1,978 — a total saving of $1,220).

Best Buy just discounted this 50-inch 4K TV from $380 to $250
Toshiba M-Series 4K Fire TV.

Finding a great cheap TV isn't always easy, especially with so many choices that tend to sacrifice features for the price. The Toshiba C350 Series does a reasonably good balancing act, and while it's not going to be the best TV out there, it has more features than you would expect on a TV that goes for $380. Luckily, Best Buy has a great deal on it right now, bringing that price tag down to a much more impressive $250, making this 55-inch 4K TV an excellent deal.

Why you should buy the Toshiba 50-inch C350 Series 4K TV
The C350 series is built around Amazon's Fire TV platform, and if you've been using any of the Fire TV sticks, then you're probably already familiar with the platform. If not, we're happy to tell you that Fire TV is on roughly the same level as Roku and Android TV and is a great option if you're already in the Amazon ecosystem. That's especially the case if you have something like a Ring Video Doorbell since you can get a feed of the camera on your TV directly, so you don't have to pull out your phone, which is a pretty neat feature.

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.
