If you’re looking for deals on home goods and supplies, see our list over at The Sweethome. Street Price: $1. MSRP: $1. 25. 0Deal Price: $8. We featured a deal on this refurbished bundle a few months ago, but this deal comes in for a new low when combined with Canon’s current promotion. By using code: FRIENDS you’ll get an extra $1. These refurbished items come with the standard 1- year Canon warranty. The Canon EOS 8. 0D is our runner- up in our guide to the best midrange DSLR. Amadou Diallo wrote, “If you plan to shoot video on a regular basis, or if you already have several Canon lenses you don’t want to replace, we recommend the Canon EOS 8. D, which is a significant improvement over its predecessor (the EOS 7. The MacBook Pro (sometimes abbreviated MBP) is a line of Macintosh portable computers introduced in January 2006 by Apple Inc. Replacing the PowerBook G4, the MacBook. The Apple IIc, the fourth model in the Apple II series of personal computers, is Apple Computer’s first endeavor to produce a portable computer. D, our previous runner- up). The image quality of this 2. DSLR isn’t quite as stellar as that of our top pick.”Diallo continues, “In several areas, however, the 8. D offers some very real advantages over our top pick. Its rear screen can tilt and rotate, making the camera easier to shoot with when you have to hold it at waist level or above your head. The screen is also touch sensitive, which makes for much easier menu navigation and much faster focus- point selection. The 8. 0D’s large image buffer means you can shoot more raw images in a single burst (2. D7. 20. 0).”. This is the second lowest we’ve seen this particular configuration. The Netgear Arlo Pro is our top pick in our Wireless Outdoor Home Security Camera guide. Rachel Cericola writes, “The Arlo Pro is a reliable outdoor Wi- Fi camera that’s compact and completely wireless, thanks to a removable, rechargeable battery that, based on our testing, should provide at least a couple of months of operation on a charge, and much more in quiet- traffic areas. It’s also the only device on our list that offers seven days of free cloud storage, and packs in motion- and audio- triggered recordings for whenever you get around to reviewing them. The Arlo Pro does everything we look for in a DIY security camera, and offers more convenience and value than the competition.”. If you’re in need of a well- regarded UPS with extra juice with any urgency, this is the best price you’re likely to find on this item. This deal is available to Prime members only. The APC BR1. 00. 0G is our upgrade pick for the best UPS. Mark Smirniotis writes, “If you’re going to have more devices plugged in—for example, your desktop computer and display—or if you need to be able to use them longer in a power outage, the APC BR1. G Back- UPS Pro offers some extra juice and is an excellent value. It’s almost twice the price of our top pick from Cyber. Power, but it will last more than twice as long when powering a 5. Wi- Fi router—about 2 hours, 1. And if you have a workstation or some other high- power draw, such as audio equipment or a large display, you should step up to this size of UPS at a minimum.”Of the power output, Smirniotis continues, “Though it seems like a 3. W model should be able to run a 3. W load, the reality is that the battery in such a small unit will run down in a frustratingly short time. If you want to have the power to do anything more than save your work, you shouldn’t load a UPS with more than 5. This means that if you’ll be plugging in around 3. W worth of equipment—that’s a desktop computer, a 2. LCD monitor, an external hard drive, a cable modem, and a wireless router, with some room to spare—your UPS should be rated around 6. W or more.”. We’ve seen a couple brief sales on the Cano. Scan Li. DE2. 20 in the past, but this is by far the lowest price we’ve seen. It’s been steadily dropping by a few bucks every day for a little over a week, so there is a chance of this scanner continuing to drop in price. If it doesn’t, this is still a great price to pick up this scanner. The Canon Cano. Scan Li. DE2. 20 is our top pick in our guide to the best cheap scanner. Lizz Schumer wrote, “Because of its speed, image quality, accuracy, and ease of use, the Canon Li. DE 2. 20 ($9. 0) is the best flatbed scanner for most users. An updated version of the Li. DE 2. 10, our flatbed scanner pick in 2. It captures cleaner images than the competition, is easy to set up and use, accurately scans text documents, and can fit into small spaces when not in use. The Li. DE 2. 20 can scan documents, photos, artwork or other hard- copy materials quickly and with a minimal learning curve. While it does not scan photo negatives and stalls periodically when faced with high- volume scanning, it does what the average user needs it to do, without too many features most people will never touch.”. At $3. 54, this is the lowest price we’ve seen for this bundle, which includes the D3. NIKKOR 1. 8- 5. 5mm f/3. G VR lens, and a copy of Corel Paint. Shop Pro X8 (free gift, will reflect in cart). There is a coupon code that is auto- applied, AFFBCD7. This price is set to expire 4/3. The Nikon D3. 40. Best DSLR for Beginners guide. Mike Perlman writes, “The Nikon D3. DSLR for those looking to improve their photography and learn the ins and outs of tweaking camera settings. The D3. 40. 0 has some of the best image quality we’ve ever seen at this price, along with excellent battery life, Bluetooth connectivity, 1. Guide Mode to help you learn—and it’s widely available for less than $5. It’s been about 6 months since the last sale on this lens, and this is still the best price we’ve seen. Canon’s refurbished lenses come with a 1- year manufacturer warranty. The Canon EF 5. 0mm f/1. USM is the higher quality version of our prime lens pick in our guide to the first Canon lenses you should buy. Tim Barribeau wrote, “If you’re willing to spend a bit more, the Canon EF 5. Of the company’s two 5. These headphones tend to stick to its $3. These headphones should be on sale up until the end of the month, so you have about a week to take advantage of this deal. The Bose Quiet. Comfort 2. Geoff Morrison wrote, “For the third year running, the QC2. Yes, the wireless QC3. QC3. 5. The amount of noise reduced is incredible: noticeably and significantly more than the vast majority of noise- cancelling headphones. In our testing, they dropped an average of 2. B of noise, including over 3. B at some frequencies, and more low- bass reduction than any headphone we’ve tested.”. With code AUKUSBC1, this pack of 2 can be had for just $7. Shipping is free with Prime. The Aukey USB- C to USB 3. Adapter is our nub- style adapter pick for legacy USB 3. USB- C Adapters, Cables, and Hubs guide. Nick Guy writes, “Of the models we tested, our favorite nub- style adapter is Aukey’s CB- A1- 2, available in a two- pack for less than $1. The CB- A1 is nothing fancy, but it works well, and it’s cheap enough that you could buy a few packs and just leave the adapters attached to the cables and plugs of your legacy peripherals.”Guy continues, “In our tests, the CB- A1 provided average data write speeds of 1. MB/s and data read speeds of 2. MB/s; our ammeter measured a maximum power draw of 1. In panel testing, some Wirecutter writers thought that the adapter’s USB- A port was tight, but we don’t think this is a dealbreaker, especially if you’ll be leaving the adapter on the end of a cable.”. If you’re in need of a capacious suitcase to check when flying, this Travelpro discount is around $4. We’ve seen it lower, most recently in December, but those travelers looking with any urgency for a high- volume bag can get a solid deal on this one. The Travelpro Platinum Magna 2 2. Kit Dillon writes, “If you need the maximum space allowable and don’t mind going over weight limits, the 2. On the Platinum Magna 2 line, Dillon continues, “Internally, the Platinum Magna is well- organized across its main and lid compartments and comes with a built- in garment folder that includes a removable folding board (similar to the one in our Briggs & Riley upgrade pick). This makes it easy to pack and protect formalwear. However, the sheer size of bags such as this makes it very easy to exceed the 5. Travelpro tests its bags by filling them with 7. Since this deal is from Costco, you’ll either have to have a membership or you can pay a $7. Luckily, the 1- year membership to Costco is $5. TV and a Costco membership for $1. Even with the additional membership cost, it’s still $1. Best Buy. It comes with free shipping, and is also available for in- store pickup, depending on local availability. The Vizio P6. 5- C1 is our top pick in our guide to the best TV. Since the 2. 01. 7 model of this TV is coming out in a few weeks, we asked Chris Heinonen his thoughts, “The 2. The TV hardware remains the same and all the software changes, including being able to stream from the TV directly without a tablet, will roll out to the 2. On the image quality, Heinonen wrote, “Of all the LCD TVs we tested, the Vizio P6. C1 offers the best overall image quality across all types of content. The full- array local- dimming backlight provided superior contrast ratios and was the least noticeable in use with challenging content. Equipped with support for wide color gamut and high dynamic range, including both HDR standards, it’s ready for current and upcoming HDR content. The preset Calibrated and Calibrated Dark modes do a good job of producing an accurate image without requiring any work.”. This Mother’s Day sale drops the price by 2. Nixplay is also offering a deal on multiple frames in their digital store – if you buy 2 frames, you get 3. The Nixplay Iris 8 is a digital frame we like in our guide to the best digital frames. Amadou Diallo wrote, “The Nixplay Iris is the company’s flagship model, with only minor differences from our top pick. A metal (versus plastic) frame offers a classier look, and the Iris employs an ambient sensor to match screen brightness to the room lighting. It also uses a noise sensor—rather than a motion sensor—to put the display to sleep. But at the time of this writing, the 8- inch model cost about $3. The mix of razor sharp clarity and numerous other cool display and connectivity technologies in most newer 4. K PC displays is simply too interesting to resist and with good reason –they’re some of the best PC displays on sale today, even if their 3. And in this world of 4. K UHD monitors, which tend to be larger than most normal HD displays, the 2. There are also plenty of smaller mid- sized 2. K monitors is also growing but the rulers of the roost and best sellers are almost entirely made of 2. Thus, among the 4. K screens for PCs on sale in this size range, you’ll find an enormous amount of diversity, with gamer’s designs, professional visual editing monitors and basic home/business office monitors all represented at a fairly wide range of prices. Display Details. As we’ve made clear above, not all 4. K monitors are created equal, even in the same general size range and depending on their main purpose, price and specific internal technologies, today’s monitors can vary enormously in the display quality and work flexibility they offer. While even the cheapest 4. K screens can usually beat the pants off any low budget HD display in the wow factor of their graphics, some of the priciest and best 4. K displays offer incredible color saturation, extraordinary detail, contrast and visual accuracy to a degree that looks truly impressive by anyone’s standards. These are some of the different display panel types which influence this: IPS Display at work in a panel for wider viewing angles. IPS: IPS panels are usually found in some of the highest quality monitors on the market today and for good reason. IPS, also known as in- plane switching technology, offers some of the best color accuracy, vibrancy and brightness available in display today. Furthermore, it usually also entails superb contrast and some of the best viewing angles you can find in a 4. K monitor. On the other hand, to its slight detriment, IPS is also offers up a bit of a slow response time, in the 4 to 9ms range. This is the speed at which the monitor’s graphics respond to an external control like a keyboard or console controller. However, for non- gaming PCs, IPS display is generally the gold standard in display technology. Other names by which IPS is also commonly known include PLS (plane to line switching) and AHVA (advanced hyper viewing angle). TN: TN stands for Twisted Nematic and it’s one of the most common monitor panel display technologies in use today, with particular popularity in gaming- oriented 4. K PC monitors. With TN screens, what you get is a superb response time that’s ideal for 4. K gaming and some very decent, rich contrast levels. On the other hand, the majority of 4. K monitors with TN display lack strong color vibrancy, brightness and are weak on color accuracy as well. Furthermore, they usually offer up weak viewing angles. However, low cost is a factor in favor of TN panel designs and monitors with this display type are usually some of the most affordable on sale today. VA: VA (vertical alignment) panels aren’t quite as common as their IPS and TN cousins but they offer up their own unique blend of pros and cons. On the one hand, VA offers some very strong contrast performance, deep rich blacks and great color output while also delivering far superior viewing angles to those of TN. However, with VA panel design in monitors, ghosting effects can be a common problem, particularly during gaming and fast- moving video animation. Connectivity Considerations. Most 4. K monitors will have the same essentials of connectivity built into them and the technology which is considered to be crucial to these devices is quite standardized. Thus, while some 4. K monitors will offer unusual features like Thunderbolt connectivity or possibly lack some important basic like USB connectivity, the vast majority of 4. K displays and all of the monitors we’re about to cover absolutely include core connectivity specs like HDMI, USB, Display. Port 1. 2 and audio connections. Display. Port 1. 2 is version 1. For any 4. K monitor you decide to go for, the absolutely essential specs that should be present consist of HDMI 1. HDMI 2. 0 connectivity, Display. Port 1. 2 ports and at least a couple of USB ports, preferably of the USB 3. Among these, the single most crucial port will be Display. Port 1. 2, at least if you’re serious about smooth, quickly rendering 4. K graphics on your monitor’s display. Since most existing 4. K monitors and PC GPUs still lack HDMI 2. Display. Port 1. 2 is the only means by which the two technologies can connect together for on- screen rendering of 4. K ultra HD graphics at a smooth 6. Hz, which is equivalent to 6. HDMI is also important for daisy- chaining more than more 4. K monitor together (though Display. Port can be used for this as well) and while most monitors only offer HDMI 1. K graphics at 3. 0Hz, some models now include HDMI 2. HDMI 2. 0 plugs for 4. K graphics at 6. 0Hz. USB is also a crucial and sometimes overlooked connectivity spec of any decent 4. K monitor. While useless for transmission of 4. K video resolution, USB connectivity will let you connect all sorts of peripheral devices like external hard drives, mouse, speakers, mobile phones and so on to your PC easily. We should also mention one of the newest connectivity standards for newer 4. K monitors that have been emerging in 2. USB- C/Thunderbolt 3. This is one of the very latest and most advanced connectivity types found in a small number of today’s 4. K or 5. K monitors. USB- C is still quite uncommon but this will likely change since the spec offers numerous benefits due to its enormous bandwidth power, which is enough to run full 6. Hz graphics in 4. K resolution on multiple UHD monitors through a single connection. Price Considerations. Just as their quality can vary enormously, so too can the retail price of 4. K monitors for the consumer market. Depending on the specs, display features and specific panel technologies they come with, these monitors can come at price tags of anywhere between $3. K displays selling for more than $2. More than anything else, monitor price seems to be determined by how much color accuracy and contrast a model can deliver through its internal display specs. This is partly why IPS monitors usually cost more than their TN counterparts and why some of the priciest and newest 4. K PC displays on the market are OLED models with nearly perfect blacks and superb color rendition. That said, price is definitely a factor in the following rankings and we’ve tried to balance out quality with at least some degree of affordability wherever possible with most of the following models costing well below $1. Free. Sync and G- Sync. On a final note before we move onto our listing, Free. Sync and G- Sync definitely deserve mention. These are the two main technologies in existence today for synchronization of refresh rate between your monitor display and the GPU inside your PC. The result of this synch process is a smooth, tear and artifact- free video quality that’s especially useful for gaming and video or animation display. Gamers who want a top- quality 4. K monitor should keep either Free. Sync (which works for AMD GPUs) or G- Sync (which works for NVIDIA GPUs) firmly in mind, depending on the graphics card their PC has. These technologies aren’t too important for office- oriented 4. K monitors. NVIDIA’S G- Sync for 4. K and HD PC gaming. The Best 2. 7- 2. Inch 4. K monitors on sale today. Now, without further delay, here are the 4. K monitors in the 2. All of the following are relatively affordable in comparison to truly expensive professional displays and many of them offer specialized gaming and pro user oriented technologies while still costing an amount that could be called fairly reasonable. Among the following, you’ll find something for just about every type of user. LG Ultra. Fine 5. K PC monitor with USB- C and Thnuderbolt 3 $9. LG’s 5. K Ultra. Fine monitor is probably one of the most advanced consumer PC displays released so far in 2. It not only offers an excellent level of overall performance and calibration capacity for professional graphic editing work, it also includes some truly stunning display specs that are almost worthy of being compared to those of a premium HDR 4. K TV, it’s an IPS monitor with some tremendous connectivity power through its cutting- edge USB- C and Thunderbolt 3 ports. Offering the wide viewing angles of IPS display technology and full DCI- P3 Wide Color Gamut color space coverage such as that found in your typical 4. K ultr HD HDR TV, the Ultra. Fine also comes with the nearly perfect picture smoothness that you could expect from seeing 5. K worth of pixels crammed into a single 2. This monitor’s one main defect lies in the fact that it’s almost entirely geared toward Apple’s machines and this makes the 5. K Ultra. Fine a less than ideal choice for many Windows machine users due to certain compatibility issues. However, if you own a new 2. Mac. Book Pro laptop and want one heck of an external display that’s perfectly geared for these Apple machines, the LG 5. K Ultra. Fine is your single best possible choice. LG 2. 7UD8. 8 USB- C IPS 4. K UHD Monitor $7.
