The best Fourth of July deals on OLEDs, Apple Watches, and other tech

Amazon Prime Day is just around the corner, but if you can’t wait until then, July 4th often brings deals on a host of tech. Even now, a day after the holiday, you can still pick up a wide range of deals at Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and a number of other retailers. What’s more, the lingering discounts still span a range of popular tech categories, from 4K TVs and speakers to laptops and robot vacuums.

Not every deal that is still available is worth shelling out for, though. Fortunately, to make sifting through the remaining sea of lawn chairs and watermelon-laden tablecloths a little easier, we’ve rounded up some of the better deals you can still get. Take a look, and to save even more money, be sure to check out our guide to the best early Prime Day deals.

4K TV deals

The LG C3 offers more processing power than its predecessor and several new picture modes. It continues to offer a 120Hz refresh rate and low input lag as well, along with support for Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync variable refresh rate tech.

  • If you prefer something a little cheaper than LG’s C3, you can currently pick up the LG C2 in the 41-inch configuration at Amazon and Best Buy starting at $896.99. The last-gen OLED is similar to the newer C3 model, with both sporting a 120Hz refresh rate and low input lag, but it lacks the improved processing power and new picture modes found on the C3.
  • Various configurations of Amazon’s latest Fire TV Omni QLED are on sale right now, including the 65-inch model, which is down to $599.99 ($200 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. Unlike its predecessor, the newer 4K TV offers full-array local dimming and displays artwork and Alexa widgets when idle.

yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

  • You can also buy Amazon’s last-gen Fire TV Omni at a discount. The 55-inch model, for example, is on sale for $307.99 ($252 off) at Best Buy, which is even less than what it’s going for at Amazon. The 4K TV offers deep integration with Alexa and support for two-way video calling, though its lacks support for Dolby Vision like the larger configurations. Read our review.

  • If you own the ninth- or 10th-gen iPad (or something even older), you can pick up the first-gen Apple Pencil at Amazon and Walmart right now for $79 ($20 off). Bear in mind, however, that the stylus lacks gesture controls and can’t magnetically attach to either tablet like the newer model.
