The clarion call of next weeks Amazon Prime Day is getting louder and early deals are coming down the line. Case in point? LGs C4 OLED smart TVs are on sale, with many sizes reaching record-low prices. The 55-inch model is just $1,297, which is around $700 off. This is the companys mid-grade line of OLED TVs. Each model includes the updated Alpha 9 Gen 7 chip, which makes menu navigation much snappier. They also boast improved brightness when compared to previous models. These TVs almost hit 1,000 nits of brightness, which is a little dimmer than a Mini LED panel but better than many OLEDs. Theres a maximum refresh rate of 144Hz, which is perfect for gaming. To that end, these sets are compatible with G-Sync and AMD Freesync. The PC gaming bona-fides are strong with this one. One of the cool features of this smart TV is enhanced compatibility with LG soundbars. Newly-released soundbars will connect wirelessly to the television, clearing away the endless clutter of cables from the living room. The 65-inch model is also on sale for $1,697, which is a discount of over $1,000. For the big spenders, the massive 83-inch version is available for $4,297. This is 20 percent off the typical price.

Amazon Prime Day is just around the corner, so deals have begun to trickle in. The companys own Smart Thermostat has dropped to just $56, which is 30 percent off. The typical price is a whopping $80, so this is a legit bargain. Its not a record-low price, but its darn close. This is a fantastic smart thermostat with a vast array of features. It integrates with Alexa, so you can lay in bed and bark orders at it to get the temperature just right. Adjustments can also be made via the Alexa app on your phone, if those vocal cords are running dry. App control lets you change your homes temperature from afar, which is handy when on the way home from work. This is, basically, a Honeywell thermostat packed with Amazons smart tech, so its durable, easy to use and reliable. Its highly possible that a smart thermostat like this will help save money on those monthly energy bills, as you can set schedules or make adjustments while, say, on vacation. On the downside, this is a real-deal thermostat, so it requires a C-wire connection or a power adapter. Both of these kits are sold separately. The bundle with the C-wire connector is also on sale for $78. It does lack a couple of the features found with some of its more expensive rivals, like the Google Nest thermostat. There are no touchscreen controls and no motion sensor. The voice and app controls, however, more than make up these omissions.

If youre looking for an Alexa speaker on the cheap, this Amazon Prime Day deal will be hard to beat. The Echo Dot (5th gen) has improved audio that competes with more expensive rivals like the HomePod mini. Usually going for $50, the latest Echo Dot is only $23 today, cheaper than its July Prime Day price. This Echo Dot model launched in 2022 with clearer vocals, deeper bass and more vibrant overall sound than previous generations. Of course, it will pale in comparison to bigger and much more expensive speakers, but good luck finding anything else of this quality for that sale price. Its Engadgets current pick for the best smart speaker under $50. The speaker supports direct streaming from Spotify, Amazon Music and Apple Music. It works great for podcasts, too, and you can use it as a Bluetooth speaker with unsupported apps. Alexa lets you control smart home accessories, get weather updates and ask general questions. Fitting your home with smart speakers can be expensive, but this sale price could allow you to put Alexa in any room for a modest upfront investment. The speaker has a cute, round shape and a minimalist style. It measures only 3.9 inches at its widest point and wont take up much space on a table or desk. It's available in charcoal, white and blue all on sale for the same price. If youre transforming your home into a smart home, you can opt for a bundle with a smart light for the same price. For $23, you can get a TP-Link Tapo smart color bulb and the smart speaker. Although its audio isnt quite in the same class as the Dot, the Echo Pop for even cheaper. The equally cute smart speaker is on sale for Prime Day for $18. This could be a good option if youre fitting your home with Alexa devices, but there are some rooms where you wont listen to music. Otherwise, the slightly more expensive Echo Dot will be the better bet.
