TV and Entertainment Deals
Check out our Best TVs and Best Soundbars guides for more recommendations.
- Vizio 55-Inch OLED 4K Smartcast TV for $1,200 ($100 off): For a lot of living rooms, a 55-inch TV is a perfect size. This is an affordable OLED that supports Dolby Vision as well as HDR10+ and HLG high dynamic range formats. Read our review for more.
- Vizio V-Series 2.1 Channel Soundbar and Subwoofer for $150 ($30 off): If you've got a fancy TV and are still listening to it through its built-in tinny speakers, you're doing yourself a disservice. Upgrading to an affordable soundbar can massively improve your viewing experience. Vizio makes our favorite cheap soundbars.
- Master & Dynamic MW07 Go Earbuds for $149 ($50 off): Use code BFF25 to take 25 percent off this item, or anything on the company's website. These are compact, attractive, and comfortable earbuds with great sound. It's a part of the Family and Friends sale, which you can read more about here. It runs through April 19.
- Stadia Premiere Edition for $70 ($30 off): If you have a great TV and audio system (maybe you're picking up the two items above), then you might be interested in Google's Stadia game-streaming service. It gets a hard rap. Sure, Stadia never lived up to Google's high hopes, but it remains a fine platform for getting into gaming affordably when top-tier visuals and performance aren't high on your list. It's an even sweeter platform at this price.

- SimpliSafe Protect Home Security System for $220 ($30 off): I (Matt Jancer) am a big fan of how easy and quick this security system was to set up in my New York City apartment. There are no wires to deal with, since everything runs on replaceable batteries, and the app makes changing settings a snap. You can buy separate sensors to build out the system too.
- Google Nest Audio for $80 ($20 off): WIRED audio specialist Parker Hall really likes Google's latest smart speaker. The bass is clear and strong, and you can pair two for stereo sound that's tough to beat for the price. At $20 off, we like it even more.
- Google Nest Thermostat for $100 ($30 off): If you've got central AC or heating, or both, a Nest Thermostat can help you save money on your utility bill by being smarter about ramping up heating or cooling, and when to slow it all down. Check with your energy company for additional incentives, such as rebates.
- Aura Mason Digital Picture Frame for $180 ($20 off): WIRED reviewer Medea Giordano is a big fan of digital photo frames. Using the app, you can send photographs to the Mason over Wi-Fi and share them with family and friends around the world. It's got an 8.75-inch LCD screen that looks wonderful, and it makes for a great gift. (Mother's Day is coming up!)
- Kasa Smart Plug Two-Pack for $15 ($5 off): These are in our Best Smart Plugs guide. You can use them with the Kasa app to set timers and schedules for your lamps, TVs, or other electronics, and group things together or run them separately. They can even connect to Alexa or Google Assistant.
- Pax 3 Vaporizer for $160 ($40 off): The Pax 3 works with either oil or loose-leaf weed. It takes 90 minutes to fully charge, but you should get 8 to 10 sessions out of it before recharging. The Pax Era Pro is also on sale for $56 ($14 off). It only works with oil, and the battery lasts for 250 puffs and takes only 45 minutes to recharge. It'll also remember your preferred temperature and dose settings. These deals run through—you guessed it—4/20.
- SKG F5 Heated Massage Gun for $77 ($52 off): Use promo code SKG40SKG at checkout. You can read more about this massage gun here. It's an excellent tool to soothe your muscles, and at this price it's a great deal.
Computer Deals
Our Best Gaming Mice, Best Keyboards, and Best Webcams guides have a ton of our other favorite picks.
- Razer Kiyo for $85 ($15 off): This is my (Matt) favorite webcam, and I think it's the best for most people too. It has a built-in ring light and offers great image quality. You can choose 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second or 720p at 60 fps.
- Logitech G Pro Wireless Gaming Mouse for $115 ($15 off): Wireless mice have come a long way. The G Pro has a 1-millisecond response time, and you won't notice a difference from a corded mouse. A good gaming mouse like this is a good buy even if you don't game.
- Logitech G Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard for $100 ($30 off): A mechanical keyboard will change your typing experience. The key's switches are more satisfying to type on than laptop keyboards, and some people make fewer errors on a keyboard that isn't so flat. This one has clicky blue key switches, which are less ideal for twitch-based games like first-person shooters, but perfect for strategy games, RPGs, and regular old typing.
- Samsung T7 1-TB External Solid-State Drive for $150 ($20 off): Back up your files regularly. Recovering original files from a corrupted computer drive or water damage is very expensive and not always possible. Solid-state drives are reliable, small, and very fast, and 1 terabyte of space is likely more than enough for most.
