I found why my smart TV slowed down every year and it wasn’t the hardware

If there’s one thing that’s almost inevitable after you’ve used a smart TV for a few years, it’s the slowdown. And it’s hard to miss because most smart TVs aren’t that powerful to start with. But the thing is, it’s not always the hardware that’s to blame. After all, it’s the same hardware that your TV had when you first bought it.

This stylish 65-inch TV displays art when it’s not on, and it’s under ,500 for Amazon Prime Day

With both Prime Day going on this week and the FIFA World Cup this summer, there’s no better time to upgrade your TV than now. I have reviewed many TVs over the years and spent hours with the Samsung The Frame Pro TV at an exclusive media event in the company’s training office in New Jersey. My take? It’s a stunning TV that makes colors pop, blacks cut deep, and pictures look crisp and clear. The Amazon Prime Day deal brings the price of the 65-incher down from $2,097.99 to just $1,497.99. That’s 29% off and a 65-inch 4K Neo…

I review earbuds for a living, and this is the Prime Day deal I’d buy

Amazon Prime Day is here with plenty of great savings on tech and other household items. If you’re looking for a solid upgrade pair of wireless earbuds, my absolute favorite pair is on sale right now. It’s usually a great price for the incredible sound quality you get for both music and calls. But this discount makes it even sweeter.
