Among them, Hisense is soaring to the headlines because they've brought on some massive discounts to TVs, the most important part of any entertainment setup. Now, to be completely honest, Hisense wasn't known as one of the more expensive brands. However, the combination of such great deals, Hisense's level of quality and pre-existing (relatively) low prices have given the screens in this lineup one of the best value offerings we've seen this year.

A new season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has arrived on Prime Video, and with it comes the promise of a beautiful expansion of the Middle-earth as we know it from books and films. Unlike the Peter Jackson versions of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, which many have grown up with, The Rings of Power doesn't come from a clearly written novel with a beginning and ending. The writers of this show are taking some liberties with the story, and filling in gaps in time and narration left by J.R.R. Tolkien and his family.
