The Best Memorial Day Sale and Deals for Gaming and Tech (And Some Other Stuff)

Today is Memorial Day. Memorial Day isn’t traditionally a big sale day when it comes to electronics (most of the deals are in home improvement, appliances, home decor, and the like), but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any good deals to be found. Here are the best gaming and tech deals we’ve found so far.

2021 55″ Sony A90J 4K OLED TV for $999.99

As part of the Best Buy Memorial Day Sale, you can get the 2021 55″ Sony A90J 4K OLED TV for only $999.99. The Sony A90J TV is a higher end OLED model from Sony that’s superior to the newer 2022 A80K OLED. The picture quality is as good as the ubiquitous LG C2 (for $200 less at the current price). The A90J is marketed as a gaming TV and is host to several welcome gaming-centric features. It has a true 120Hz panel and two HDMI 2.1 ports for running 4K at 120Hz on a PS5, Xbox Series X, or RTX 30 series equipped PC.

TCL QM8 4K Mini LED QLED TVs On Sale Today

HDMI 2.1 for 4K @ 120Hz

The new 2023 TCL QM8 TV boasts a combination of a QLED and Mini-LED panel with full array LED backlighting, local dimming, and wide color gamut. It’s also one of the brightest TVs on the market. Mini LED panels allow for even more precising local dimming because the controller zones are smaller and more numerous. Whereas a normal LCD TV with local dimming might have as many as 100 zones, the TCL QM8 boasts 2,300 zones.

The TCL QM8 also has gamers covered. It features a native 120Hz panel and two HDMI 2.1 inputs. That means it can pass true 4K @ 120Hz on PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles and RTX 30 series equipped gaming PCs. The TCL R646 also supports VRR with Game Accelerator 240 (up to 240Hz refresh rate at 1080p), ALLM, and AMD FreeSync Pro.

$500 off Epson Home Cinema 5050UB 4K Projector

The Epson 5050UB is, in my opinion, the best projector you’ll find for under $3K. In fact, it’s close to the best projector you’ll find under $4K. The 5050UB was released way back in 2019, but up until now no 4K projector in its price range has been able to match its incredible black levels and contrast ratio. In a properly light-controlled room, it’s indistinguishable from a premium TV. The 2-way shifted 4K resolution is also really good… not quite native 4K but a big step up in sharpness compared to 1080p. It’s also flexible in terms of setup thanks to its generous horizontal and vertical motorized lens shift. It’s rarely discounted (in fact early last year it was hard to even find one in stock) so snap this one up quick.

Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Dumbbells for $379

If there’s any one piece of exercise equipment you’d want to keep around in your house, free weights would be a very good investment. Free weights give you access to a wide range of exercises that can target just about every muscle in your upper and lower body. They also don’t take up as much space as other pieces of equipment, and that’s even more true with these Bowflex dumbbells in particular. Each Bowflex SelectTech 552 dumbbell is adjustable from 5 pounds all the way to 52.5 pounds (or 105 pounds if you count both dumbbells).

48″ LG 48GP900-B 4K OLED Gaming Monitor

As part of the Amazon Memorial Day Sale, you can get a 48″ LG 48GP900-B 4K OLED gaming monitor for only $852.14 (originally $1499.99). This deal is reserved for Amazon Prime members only, so you will have to log in to see the discounted price. The 48GP900-B is the first Ultragear gaming monitor that uses an OLED panel. This is a simliar WOLED panel to the one that you find in the 48″ LG C1 OLED TV but there are a few key differences. Instead of the semi glossy coating found on the OLED TV, the 48GP900 features an anti-glare low reflective coating that is undoubtedly a better fit for close up monitor usage. It also has DisplayPort connectivity and lacks the built-in Smart TV interface.

65″ LG Evo C2 4K OLED Gaming TV for $1394.99

Woot is offering the 2022 LG Evo C2 65″ OLED TV for only $1394.99. That’s cheaper than the best price we sawduring Black Friday. The LG C2 is one of the best TVs on the market, especially for current gen console gaming. It has four HDMI 2.1 ports and a native 120Hz panel that supports true 4K @ 120Hz passthrough when paired with a PS5, Xbox Series X, or RTX 30 series equipped PC. There’s also variable refresh rate (VRR), which is this TV’s version of adaptive sync technology, as well as auto low latency mode (ALLM), where the TV automatically switches to a lower latency when it detects gameplay. The LG C2 also supports HGiG, which is automatically calibrated tone mapping specific to your TV model.

The ful specs include a liquid cooled AMD Ryzen 7 5800X CPU, GeForce RTX 3080 GPU, 16GB of DDR4-3466MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD.

I myself currently run an RTX 3080 equipped system paired with a 4K display and I can run Elden Ring, Genshin Impact, and Hogwarts Legacy at 60fps.

Alienware Aurora R15 RTX 4080 Gaming PC for $2499.99

The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is still an outstanding GPU; it’s better than the RTX 4060 and only slightly slower than the RTX 4070.

Alienware m17 17″ Radeon RX 6850M XT Laptop for $1274.99

Equivalent to Intel Core i9-12900H with RTX 3080

Dell is offering an Alienware m17 gaming laptop for $1274.99 after a $700 instant discount and 15% off coupon code “GAMING15“.

The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX is the most powerful mobile CPU in the 6000-series lineup (similar to a 12th-gen Intel Core i9 CPU). Likewise, the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT is currently AMD’s most powerful mobile GPU and its performance is somewhere between NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3080 and 3080 Ti.

Dell G15 15″ RTX 3070 Gaming Laptop for $1019.99

Dell is offering the Dell G15 RTX 3070 gaming laptop for $1019.99 after a $500 instant discount and 15% off coupon code “GAMING15“.

This is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen for an RTX 3070 equipped gaming laptop from any brand. Moreover, the RTX 3070 isn’t a gimped model… it’s equally as powerful as the one you’ll find in an Alienware laptop.

HP OMEN 45L Intel Raptor Lake RTX 4090 PC for $2835

The 2022 OMEN 45L is HP’s flagship gaming PC. This is HP’s roomiest chassis with plenty of cooling in the form of three 120mm fans for system airflow and a beefy 360mm all-in-one liquid cooling loop that cools the CPU. This AIO cooling is a serious upgrade from previous HP OMEN gaming PCs and rivals enthusiast DIY systems. This PC is also equipped with a massive 1200W 80PLUS Gold power supply and current-gen components like an Intel Z790 motherboard, Kingston FURY DDR5 RGB memory modules, and a WD Black SSD.

The 13th gen Intel Core i9-13900K boasts a turbo-boosted clock speed of 5.8GHz with 24 cores and 32 threads. This is one of the most powerful CPU you can get right now, it’s only competition being the far more expensive AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. The RTX 4090 is far and away the most powerful video card available, leaving competitors like AMD’s latest Radeon RX 7900 XTX in the dust. It’s also ridiculously more powerful than any of the RTX 30 series cards: it’s up to 90% faster than the 3080 Ti. The 4090 is the one and only solution to ray-traced 4K gaming at consistent 60+fps.

HP OMEN 16″ RTX 4060 Gaming Laptop for $1124.99

You’d be hard pressed to find another RTX 4060 gaming laptop for under $1200. This laptop features a 13th gen Intel Core i7 Raptor Lake CPU and the latest GeForce RTX 4060 GPU. Performance-wise, the RTX 4060 mobile GPU sits right in between the RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti. It offers plenty of power to run pretty much any game comfortably on the native 1080p display. RTX 40 series cards also support DLSS 3.0, which is essentially DLSS 2.0 plus frame generation. For games that support it this is a big FPS increase over DLSS 2.0

HP OMEN 16″ QHD RTX 4080 Gaming Laptop for $1979.99

Free HyperX Cloud II Core Headset

You will need to follow the directions below to select the appropriate upgrades and get the specs and price listed in this deal. This laptop has been upgraded with a far more powerful GeForce RTX 4080 GPU. The RTX 4080 mobile GPU performs about 20%-35% faster than the RTX 3080 Ti mobile. Compared to desktop variants, the mobile RTX 4080 approaches a performance level similar to the desktop RTX 3070 Ti. It’s definitely more than enough power to run most games on the 1440p display at maximum settings.

HP OMEN 17 QHD RTX 4090 Gaming Laptop for $2528.99

You will need to follow the directions below to select the appropriate upgrades and get the specs and price listed in this deal. This is an absolutely monster of a gaming laptop, and if you shop around, you’ll see that almost every other RTX 4090 gaming laptop cost well over $3000 (and most cost over $3500). Let’s just say the RTX 4090 makes hardcore gaming on a laptop possible. The RTX 4090 is the most powerful mobile GPU ever, and by a huge margin. The HP OMEN 17 supplies up to 175W to the GPU. That means this is probably the fully enabled RTX 4090 GPU with a 150W TGP, not the gimped 80W version. It’s roughly equivalent to a desktop RTX 3090 GPU.
