Daily Deals: The Best LG OLED 4K TV of 2021 for Under $1K, New Price Drop on Apple TV 4K, Arcade1Up Cabinets, and More – IGN

Today, PS5 and Xbox Series X gamers can score a great deal on one of LG’s best 55″ OLED TVs. The LG G1 Evo or “Gallery Edition” TV has almost never been discounted, but today it’s $400 off exclusively at Best Buy. In other deal news, the new Apple TV 4K with the beefier 64GB storage capacity has also dropped in price, the Arcade1Up Marvel Super Heroes Countercade sees yet another $20 price drop, and Best Buy is offering $300 off Intel Evo certified Lenovo Yoga laptops. Check out these deals and more below.

55″ LG G1 Evo 4K OLED TV (Gallery Series) $ 999.99

5 year LG panel warranty

The LG G1 Evo was LG’s top of the line LG OLED TV last year. It is a superior to the LG C1, B1, and A1 TV lineups. The G1 Evo has a similar Evo OLED panel you’ll find in the current C2 model. The main advantage of the Evo panel is the extra brightness that it offers up compared to the standard OLED panel found on the C1. This is a fantastic deal considering a 55″ LG C2 with Evo panel costs nearly $1600 right now. “Gallery Edition” means this TV has a thinner bezel and no gap between the TV frame and the wall. It’s supposed to be flush mounted so no table stand is included.

Compared to traditional LED LCD TVs, OLED panels offer better image quality, deeper blacks, better contrast ratio, wider color gamut, and super fast response times. OLED TVs excel at both gaming and viewing 4K HDR content. The G1 model is future proofed with technology like HDMI 2.1 (4K @ 120Hz), variable refresh rate, and G-SYNC. It’s a perfect matchup for current generation consoles like the PS5 or Xbox Series X.

G1 models have a 5 year panel warranty compared to the C2 and C1 which have the standard 1 year warranty.

Newest Apple TV 4K 64GB

The Apple TV 4K happened to be one of Amazon Prime Day’s hottest sellers. Today the price has dropped down to the same as what we saw on Prime Day. The newest Apple TV features two major upgrades. It boasts an A12 Bionic processor that boosts graphics performance, video decoding, and audio processing and delivers high frame rate HDR with Dolby Vision. It also includes a new Apple TV remote. The overall build quality is better than before, but the biggest enhancements are a 5-way clickpad, mute button, and dedicated power button that works for your TV, receiver, and Apple TV.

ASUS TUF Dash 15

New Release: 48″ LG UltraGear 48GP900-B 4K HDR OLED Gaming Monitor for $1296.99

LG UltraGear 48GP900 48

New Release

LG UltraGear 48GP900 48″ 4K (3840×2160) OLED Gaming Monitor

For those of you who love LG OLED TVs (for good reason) but don’t like the idea of using a TV for a computer monitor, there’s now an answer. LG has released its first UltraGear OLED gaming monitor. At first glance, the 48GP900 with its 48″ LG WOLED 10-bit color HDR display seems very similar to the 48″ LG C1 OLED TV. The panel is very similar, but there are some key differences. Instead of the semi glossy coating found on the OLED TV, the 48GP900 features an anti-glare low reflective coating that is undoubtedly a better fit for close up monitor usage. It also has DisplayPort connectivity and lacks the built-in Smart TV interface. It does carry over the HDMI 2.1 ports with 4K @ 120Hz compatiblity for PS5 and Xbox Series X owners, as well as VRR and G-SYNC support, but the 120Hz refresh rate can be overclocked to 138Hz when used as a PC monitor. Last and certainly least important of all, there is subtle RGB backlighting on the rear of the monitor that isn’t present on the OLED TVs. This is one of the best gaming monitors you’ll find on the market right now.

In addition to the core The Simpsons game, The Simpsons Bowling is also preloaded.

Google Pixel 6a for $399 ($50 Off)

Google Pixel 6a Smartphone

The newly released Google Pixel 6a is the latest in the Pixel smartphone lineup. Compared to the flagship phones from Apple or Samsung, which cost hundreds of dollars more, the price point is refreshingly reasonable. The Pixel 6a features a 6.1″ OLED 2400×1080 display, Google Tensor CPU (the same one found on the more expensive Google 6), 6GB of RAM, 128GB of built-in storage, one of the best camera smartphones in its price range, and 5G compatibility.

Gloomhaven: Jaw of the Lion Board Game

Gloomhaven: Jaws of The Lion Board Game

Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion is Celophair Games’ followup release to the hugely successful Gloomhaven board game. It offers a similar gameplay experience to the original and far more daunting Gloomhaven but it’s been condensed to make the game more accessible to casual players; that means a simpler rule set, a more developed tutorial, and fewer overall pieces on the board. You’re still playing a cooperative campaign that emphasizes tactical combat and RPG-stye character building.

Now if you think “condensed” means that Jaws of the Lion doesn’t pack as much value, you’d be wrong. For a mere $49.99 $25.35, you’re getting 6+ pounds of cardboard goodness. And although this game is less intimidating than original, it’s still a lot more complex than your typical board game, and you’ll have a relatively steep learning curve to look forward to. If you’re a fan of this board game genre, and you’ve shied away from Gloomhaven because of its price and involvement, then there’s absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t get in on this deal.

Razer Anzu Smart Glasses for $59.99 (Was $200)

Razer Anzu Smart Glasses with Interchangeable Blue Light Filtering and Polarized Sunglass Lenses and Hands-Free Calling

Razer Anzu Smart Glasses with Interchangeable Blue Light Filtering and Polarized Sunglass Lenses and Hands-Free Calling

The Razer Anzu glasses come with two sets of interchangeable lenses; blue-light filtering lenses for indoor PC use and polarized sunglass lenses for outdoor use. Blue light filtering lenses are designed to reduce eye strain and fatigue caused by high energy blue light emitted from your computer monitor. Blue light is a melatonin suppressor, and the theory is that using your monitor at night suppresses your natural sleep cycle. If that’s true, blue light filtering lenses should help you fall asleep better, even after an intense late night gaming session. The tinted polarized lenses work much like any regular pair of sunglasses; the polarized film provides 99% UVA/UVB protection and is designed to reduce glare and eliminate potential eye damage from the sun.

Razer took an extra step and implemented wireless hands-free calling in these glasses.There’s a Bluetooth speaker and microphone embedded in the frame. A clever touch interface allows you to manipulate the controls, but it’s also voice assistant compatible. You get up to 5 hours of talk time, so you probably won’t need to charge it every day.

HP Reverb G2 VR Headset

HP Reverb G2 VR Headset

This price has become even more attractive following the Meta Quest 2 price hike. The Reverb G2 normally sells for $599, but the HP Store has it for $200 off. The Reverb G2 sports the second highest resolution of any VR headset with 2160×2160 pixels per eye (even more than the already impressive Quest 2’s 1832×1920 resolution), manual IPD adjustment, a far more robust headstrap than the Quest 2, inside-out tracking that doesn’t require external sensors, and off-ear headphones that maintain your peripheral hearing.

Roku Ultra LT 2021 4K HDR for $55.12

Roku Ultra LT 4K HDR Steaming Device

Walmart has the Roku Ultra LT 4K HDR streaming media player for only $55, down about 15% off its original MSRP. The Roku Ultra LT is almost identical to the $100 Ultra; the only two features it lacks are a USB port and Dolby Atmos support. It sports the same processor and memory as the Ultra, which means it excels at streaming at up to 4K HDR without a hitch. Roku still has one of the most intuitive smart TV interfaces around.

Apple iPad 10.2″ 64GB for $299.99

Apple iPad 10.2

Apple’s latest 10.2″ iPad is a great option for school, work, or simply relaxing with your favorite movie, book, or streaming service. The 64GB model has dropped to $299, and you won’t find a less expensive current generation Apple iPad out there. The Apple A13 Bionic chip for fast CPU and GPU performance to tackle just about anything, and the large 10.2-inch Retina display ensures everything is bright and crisp during use. iPad also features both a front-facing camera for voice chat, and rear camera for taking photos and videos.

New Apple AirPods Pro for $179.99

Apple AirPods Pro Noise-Cancelling Earbuds

New MagSafe Model

Apple AirPods Pro Noise-Cancelling Earbuds

The current generation Apple AirPods Pro is one of the best sounding “truly wireless” earbuds you’ll find, especially at this price point. “Truly wireless” earbuds have no wires whatsoever; even the earbuds aren’t hardwired to each other. In addition to the excellent sound quality, the AirPods Pro is the only AirPods with active noise cancelling technology. That, combined with the inherent nature of in-ear earbuds, means that the AirPods Pro will provide better noise isolation than over-ear headphones like the Bose QuietComfort or the Sony WH1000XM5. If you’re thinking of getting a pair of new AirPods, we highly recommend jumping on this particular model.

EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 GPU Starting at $749.99

EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra Hybrid 12GB Video Card

EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra 10GB Video Card
EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 XC3 Ultra 10GB Video Card

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.

30% off $2,189.99

The RTX 3080 is way more powerful than the previous generation’s best video card, the RTX 2080 Ti, and is the best recommended video card for 4K gaming. The RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3090 are the only cards that are (very slightly) more powerful, but they cost hundreds of dollars more. The RTX 3080 is paired with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X CPU, which is still one of the best processors out there, whether it be for gaming or for workstation purposes. It’s been upgraded with liquid cooling as well. The rig is ready to go out of the box with 16GB of DDR4-3200MHz RAM and a generously sized 1TB M.2 PCIe NVME SSD. Don’t worry, even the power supply is up to snuff with an ample 1000W rating.

Alienware m15 R5 RTX 3070 Gaming Laptop

Alienware m15 R5 15

Alienware m15 R5 15″ AMD Ryzen 7 5800H RTX 3070 Gaming Laptop with 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD

This Alienware m15 laptop is equipped with a powerful AMD Ryzen 7 5800H 8-core processor, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and of course the RTX 3070 video card. The AMD variant of the Alienware m15 laptop has proven to be more powerful than the Intel variant, so if maximum performance is what you’re after, this is the config that you want to get.

The RTX 3070 found in this laptop has a TDP rating of 125W (115W + 10W dynamic boost), which is higher than the RTX 3070 TDP rating you’ll find in most other gaming laptops. Higher TDP means more power is supplied to the graphics card, and that directly equates to better performance in games. Most laptops are willing to sacrifice gaming performance in order to conserve power and reduce heat, allowing for thinner laptop designs with more basic cooling. Alienware laptops, however, prioritize gaming performance first and foremost. The video cards are more powerful, the proprietary “Cryo-Tech” cooling is more effective at cooling the components, and the main tradeoff is more weight. At around 5.5lbs, it’s still considerably lighter than any of its predecessors, and it’s a small price to pay in order to keep the performance and cooling of this laptop at a maximum.

Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16″ Intel Core i7-12700H Alder Lake RTX 3070 Gaming Laptop for $1599

Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16

Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16″ Intel Core i7-12700 Alder Lake RTX 3070 Gaming Laptop with 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD

Walmart is offering an outstanding deal on the new Lenovo Legion 5 Pro laptop that is also equipped with the 12th generation Intel Core i7 Alder Lake CPU and RTX 3070 GPU. The RTX 3070 GPU in this gaming laptop also has a TGP rating of 140W, and it performs as well as the MSI Crosshair on paper. In real world benchmarks, the Legion 5 Pro is one of the best performing gaming laptops on the market. It also looks more like a standard laptop, so you might want to pick this over the Crosshair if you’re not into the gamer aesthetic.

ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1660 Ti Gaming PC

ASUS ROG STRIX AMD Ryzen 5 3600X GTX 1660 Ti Gaming PC with 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD

ASUS ROG STRIX AMD Ryzen 5 3600X GTX 1660 Ti Gaming PC with 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD

Walmart is offering this AMD Ryzen 5 3600X GTX 1660 Ti equipped gaming PC for only $799. The GTX 1660 Ti is still a very capable video card that can handle just about any game at 1080p resolution. You certainly won’t find a more powerful video card for this price.
