Walmart is discounting a pair of Samsung 4K Ultra HDTVs down to some of the most notable prices we’ve seen on these models. Free shipping is available in both instances.

The standout deal is Samsung’s 48-inch 4K 60Hz Smart Ultra HDTV (UN48JU6400) for $459.99 shipped. That’s good for $430 off the original listing which it still goes for at B&H, within $10 of the best we’ve seen and the lowest price available. Features include a 48-inch display capable of 3840 x 2160 resolutions, 60Hz resolution, smart features and three HDMI inputs plus two USB ports.

Next up, you can grab the Samsung 55-inch 4K 60Hz Smart Ultra HDTV (UN55JU6400) for $699.99 shipped. For comparison, it has a list price of $1,200 and typically sells for as much at many online retailers like B&H. Today’s deal is the best available offer from a reputable seller. You’ll find all of the features listed above in this larger display.

The entire line of Samsung 6400 Ultra HDTVs is rated 4.3/5 stars by over 300 Amazon reviewers.

The reality is, Apple’s pricing strategy for its Watch Bands is pretty ludicrous. We can’t recommend paying that kind of money when there are cost-effective alternatives for nearly every style available at Amazon. After all, you came to 9to5Toys for a deal, right?

We’ve already broken down the benefits of third-party Sport and Milanese bands in our previous review. Today, I’m taking a look at a Leather Loop option from OULUOQI that clocks in at just $24…

Working in an office or even sitting next to someone at home can prove to be an annoying experience when sound from one activity leaks into another. Let’s just say my wife isn’t always fond of my evening Battlefield missions. The same can be said for that coworker that loves 80’s Euro disco when you like more of an acoustic vibe. Headphones are a natural answer but it cuts you off from the rest of your environment and those ear cups can get hot.

A new product called Soundlazer has taken to Kickstarter with its “virtual sound cloud” speaker system. It promises “immersive” listening experiences that don’t bug your neighbor. Early interest is strong but will it stand the test of time?
