It’s the weekend again, but not just any weekend. In the U.S. it’s about to be Independence Day on July 4, so we’re taking this opportunity to pack a little more into this post than we typically do. Not only will we be catching you up on this week’s best gaming and entertainment deals (plus what products other Polygon readers are buying), we’re also going to weave in some great July 4 deals that won’t last long.
But don’t fret too much if you miss out, or choose not to splurge on something. After all, Amazon Prime Day 2023 is just around the corner, starting July 11 and lasting through July 12. We’ll be digging into the best deals, so stay tuned. If you’re off for the long weekend, have a relaxing and safe time away from the grind.
Best Buy’s July 4 deal event has brought several nice price cuts to the surface, including a budget-friendly 4K OLED television, in case you’ve had one of those on your wishlist. The 48-inch LG A2 is just $599.99, matching the low price we saw last during Black Friday 2022. For context, this TV is usually priced closer to $800 (the 55-inch version at Amazon is $896.99).
It’s a good deal considering you’ll be getting a TV that’s tough to beat when it comes to delivering the best contrast and overall picture quality for movies, TV shows, and games. Come to think of it, only pricier OLEDs can beat it with more brightness and gaming-friendly features, like a faster refresh rate (this one is locked at 60 Hz) and HDMI 2.1 ports. But this one’s great for the price.
