If you’re willing to spend a chunk of change on TV deals to breathe new life into your home theater setup, we can’t recommend the Sony Bravia XR A95L QD-OLED 4K TV enough. You can get its 55-inch version at $299 off from Walmart, which reduces its price from $2,798 to $2,499. The discount doesn’t make it affordable, but that’s an excellent price for a TV that we’ve identified as among the best in the industry. You’re going to have to be quick with your purchase if you want this Sony TV for cheaper than usual though, as the offer may disappear at any moment.

For the most part, most technology comes and goes, and devices pretty much become obsolete after a short span of time. It's rare to have something that's still relevant after five years, but the Nvidia Shield TV Pro is one of those unicorns, still at the top of its game, despite it first being released in 2019. Not only is it still alive, but it's also one of the best streaming devices you can buy in 2024. Of course, while we love the Nvidia Shield TV Pro, it's still incredibly expensive, with a price that typically comes in at $200. This is quite a bit to spend on a streaming device, especially when you can buy something relatively good from Amazon, Roku, and other brands for around $40 to $50.

Our favorite premium streaming device is an absolute steal as it drops to an all-time low price

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
