• Amazon Prime Day Lightning Deal: 65″ Sony Bravia 4K OLED TV for $1399.99

    Amazon just kicked off this excellent Prime Day Lightning Deal: score a 65" Sony A80J 4K OLED TV for only $1399.99. That is a crazy good price for a recent (2021) OLED TV that has all the fixings including HDMI 2.1. Currently the closest competition, LG's 65" C1 model, costs $300 more. This is an "Lightning Deal", which means that inventory is far more limited at this price and is more likely to sell out.

    Amazon Prime Day Lightning Deal: 65" Sony Bravia XR OLED A80J 4K TV for Only $1399.99

    Supports 4K @ 120Hz for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X gamers

    The Sony A80J is a true OLED 4K TV. It boasts unrivalled response times, so ghosting is non-existent. Compared to traditional LED LCD TVs, OLED TVs offer better image quality, deeper blacks, better contrast ratio, and wider color gamut. Not only does this translate to better gaming, but also better image quality overall, including with 4K HDR content. It also has HDMI 2.1 inputs that support 120Hz refresh rates at 4K resolution. If you own a PS5, Xbox Series X, or a gaming PC with an RTX 30 series video card, you'll have access to games that can run at 4K @ 120Hz, with more supported games coming in the near future. The Sony A80J now supports variable refresh rate (VRR) thanks to a firmware update that was released earlier this year. It's also G-SYNC compatible for PC gamers.

    The Sony A80J uses Google TV for its smart TV experience. Google TV is a more intuitive version of Android TV and works just as well as Roku, Fire TV or Apple TV, even more so if you use an Android phone or tablet.

    Prime Day 2022: MicroSD Card Deals for Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck

    Prime Day is coming to a close tonight, but there's still time to grab a microSD card for cheap. If you could use some extra storage in your Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck, these cards will absolutely do the trick. Better yet, they're on sale for their lowest prices ever. So grab one if you need one. And if you want to pick up anything else before the sale ends, check out our best Prime Day deals mega-post.

    The one caveat is that you'll need a Prime membership to take advantage of the deals. You can sign up here. You might even be eligible for a one-month free trial. All right, on with the deals.

    Best MicroSD Card Deals for Prime Day

    Anyone who's bought a Nintendo Switch or one of the lower-tier Steam Decks knows how quickly the onboard storage can fill up with digital games. If you have a digital library of games for either system, you're likely to run out of space sooner rather than later. Thankfully, all you need to do is pop in one of these MicroSD cards to get more storage.

    Regarding the difference between these cards, the SanDisk Ultra is good enough to use in a Switch or Steam Deck. Some people might try to upsell you on the SanDisk Extreme or EVO Select cards since they're capable of faster read/write speeds. But neither the Switch nor Steam Deck were built to be able to take advantage of the extra speed, so you might as well save the cash. And the Animal Crossing-themed card is cute, but you won't see it once you put it in the system. Up to you.

    These cards are either at their lowest historical prices, or have dropped to new all-time low prices. Basically, if you could use a microSD card now or in the near future, this is the time to buy.

    Top Prime Day Deals

    Apple products have been absolutely slaying this Prime Day. Almost all of our top-selling items are from Apple. Which makes sense, as these are excellent products mostly at all-time low prices. Grab 'em if you want 'em.

    Amazon Prime Day GPU Deal Still Live: EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 From $749.99

    The price of RTX 30 series GPUs has been dropping like a rock the past few months. That's a very good thing for us the consumers, since the starting price of these GPUs have been way higher than the original intended MSRP. For Amazon Prime Day, the EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra video card has dropped to the lowest price we've seen since launch. It has been marked down to $779.99, below its MSRP of $919.99. Amazon has it for almost $100 cheaper than buying it directly from EVGA.

    EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 GPU From $749.99

    The GeForce RTX 3080 GPU really doesn't need any introduction. This is the de facto card to get if you plan to run current generation games at 4K, since it's up to 50% faster than the previous generation RTX 2080 SUPER and doesn't command the exorbitant price of the RTX 3080 Ti or RTX 3090 (both of which are a mere 3%-5% faster in real world performance). It has an HDMI 2.1 port for passing through 4K @ 120Hz, which it has the power to drive even in resource hungry games like Elden Ring, Battlefield 2042 or Cyberpunk 2077.

    EVGA's XC3 Ultra model is a "smaller" dual slot heatsink with triple fan cooling and a protective metal backplate. It has approximately similar dimensions as the 3080 FE, so it can fit in smaller or more restrictive cases. It boasts a modest 1755Hz Boost overclock compared ot the stock 1710MHz Boost on the 3080 FE.

    EVGA's FTW3 Ultra model comes equipped with a ridiculously large 2.7-slot heatsink with triple fan cooling and a protective metal backplate. This amount of dissipation allows the card to run cooler and quieter than the reference model RTX 3080 FE. This also enables the FTW3 Ultra model to have a modest 1800HZ Boost overclock compared to the stock 1710MHz Boost on the 3080 FE. Lastly and certainly the least important detail, let's not forget about the RGB lighting. There's enough there to make this card stand out in both traditional and vertical orientations.

    ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 GPU From $799.99

    The GeForce RTX 3080 GPU really doesn't need any introduction. This is the de facto card to get if you plan to run current generation games at 4K, since it's up to 50% faster than the previous generation RTX 2080 SUPER and doesn't command the exorbitant price of the RTX 3080 Ti or RTX 3090 (both of which are a mere 3%-5% faster in real world performance). It has an HDMI 2.1 port for passing through 4K @ 120Hz, which it has the power to drive even in resource hungry games like Elden Ring, Battlefield 2042 or Cyberpunk 2077.

    The ASUS ROG STRIX model is considered by many to be the very best RTX 3080 variant on the market. It's usually hundreds of dollars more than the 3080 FE price. That's in large part because of the incredible cooling potential of the massive 3-slot heatsink combined with the quietest triple fan cooling you'll find on any RTX 3080. Despite the low noise levels, the ROG STRIX offers a significantly OC'ed 1890MHz boost clock compared o the stock 1710MHz boost on the 3080 FE. This model also comes with 12GB of GDDR6X VRAM instead of the 10GB of VRAM that comes standard and most other RTX 3080 GPUs.

    The ASUS TUF model is nearly as good! It also boasts a very large 3-slot heatsink with triple fan cooling and a protective metal backplate. It has a generous 1815MHz boost clock and comes with 12GB of GDDR6X VRAM much like the ROG Strix model.

    Save $500 Off the Best Amazon Prime Day Roomba Robot Vacuum Deal

    For Amazon Prime Day only, the highly rated iRobot Roomba i7+ robot vacuum has been marked down to $499.99. That's a $500 price drop, or a huge 50% off, from the original $1000 MSRP. The i7+ is Roomba's higher end robot vacuum with a lot of convenient features that are missing in the cheaper models. The package also includes the automatic dirt disposal bin so you won't have to empty out the Roomba's dustpan after every single run.

    Amazon Prime Day Deal: 50% Off the iRobot Roomba i7+ Robot Vacuum with Automatic Dirt Disposal

    The Roomba i7+ is one of iRobot's best Roombas. The only higher-end Roomba is the S9+, which currently goes for double the price. The i7 has all of the features you'd want in a robot vacuum; it can map out your floor plan and know which room it's in, it can detect different floor types and adjust its brush head to accomodate, it can sense dirtier areas and spend more time getting those spots clean, and it can connect to your mobile device for scheduling runtimes, setting up invisible walls, and more. The i7 is also upgraded with rubber brushes and a stronger suction system than the lower end Roombas so it's adept at handling finer debris like pet hair. It also has a high-efficiency filter that traps 99% of dander and allergens.

    The single best feature of the Roomba i7+ is the included dirt disposal dock. As soon as your Roomba's internal dust tray is full, it will dock itself and empty its contents into a disposable bag tucked inside the dock. This reduces your Roomba maintenance by a truckload, since you normally have to empty out the dust tray after every single run.

    Amazon Prime Day Deal Still Live: $700 Off Samsung’s Best Gaming Monitor

    For Amazon Prime Day, the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 has dropped to $1599.99 from its original $2299.99 price point. That's a whopping $700 price drop and brings it to roughly within the same level of pricing as some of the other high-end gaming monitors out there. It's also a new all-time low price for the Odyssey Neo G9.

    Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 49" Mini LED Gaming Monitor: The Best Gaming Monitor Around

    So what makes this monitor worth the price? The main thing is the Mini LED display. Samsung's highest end "Odyssey" series gaming monitor is also Samsung's only monitor equipped with a Mini LED panel. Mini LED backlights are much smaller and more precise than traditional LED backlights, which means greater contrast ratio, deeper black levels, higher brightness (up to an incredible 2,000 nits), and better HDR than traditional displays. You'll find Mini LED panels only in the higher end 4K TVs as well as the newest Apple iPad Pro 12.9" XDR display, the priciest iPad on the market.

    The Samsung Neo G9 isn't a one trick pony, and all the other specs live up to the hype of a top-end gaming monitor. This truly massive 49" curved panel monitor boasts a pixel dense 5,120×1440 resolution. That curve, by the way, is pretty extreme (1000R), to the extent that it almost hugs you as you play games. It offers a 1ms response time and a 240Hz refresh rate, which means virtually no input lag or motion blurring. Plus, it offers G-Sync and FreeSync Premium Pro support. And it has two HDMI 2.1 ports. Friends, this is a lot of monitor.

    Obviously the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 isn't a monitor for everyone. You need a big gaming budget if you want to add this to your rig. The cost keeps 99% of us gamers at bay, but for those who can afford it, you'd be hard pressed to find a better monitor.
