TCL 75 Inch QM8L Series SQD-Mini LED QLED 4K Smart Google TV 75QM8L,Google TV with Gemini, Ultimate Color, Ultimate Brightness & Contrast, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos
TCL's 2026 75-inch QM8L, a bright Mini LED TV for a big living room that also doubles as a 144Hz gaming screen.
$1,397.99Shop on AmazonLowest price we've postedPrice as ofThe QM8L is the middle of TCL's three 2026 Mini LED lines. TCL lists up to 4,000 dimming zones and up to 6,000 nits for the series, a native 144Hz panel, Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, IMAX Enhanced and sound tuned by Bang & Olufsen. All four HDMI ports are HDMI 2.1 at 4K 144Hz, with VRR and FreeSync Premium Pro, so a console and a gaming PC can both be plugged in at full speed. It runs Google TV and takes AirPlay 2.
The cheaper QM7L runs only two of its HDMI ports at 4K 144Hz and is dimmer; the X11L above is far brighter and comes only in 75 inches and up. The QM8L sits between the two.
Worth knowing It stands on a single center pedestal about 15 inches wide, not feet at the ends, and weighs about 67 lb with it. The zone and brightness figures are TCL's series maximums and vary by size.

The 10-inch slim-jaw version of KNIPEX's Cobra pliers, for plumbers and anyone working on nuts and pipes in tight spots.
$34.99See it on AmazonThis deal has endedPrice as ofCobra ES is KNIPEX's Cobra water-pump pliers with longer, narrower jaws and a very slim head and joint, made to reach pipes and nuts behind fixtures or between other parts. Like the standard Cobra it adjusts with a push button right on the work, has 25 positions and locks itself onto a pipe or nut so it does not slip as you turn. It takes pipes up to 1-1/2 inches and nuts up to 1-3/8 inches.
The standard Cobra 87 01 250 of the same length opens wider, to 2-inch pipe, but its head is bulkier. Pick the ES if reach matters more than the largest size; the SBA in the name only means it comes on a hang-up card.
Worth knowing Smaller maximum opening than the regular 10-inch Cobra, so it is a second plier for many people, not a replacement.

A navy 12-piece knife block from Cuisinart's ColorPro line, a full starter set for a first kitchen or a move.
$39.99Shop on AmazonPrice as ofThe set covers the usual jobs: an 8-inch chef knife, an 8-inch slicer, a 5-inch santoku, a 5-inch serrated utility knife, a 3.5-inch paring knife, four 4.5-inch steak knives, kitchen shears and an 8-inch sharpening steel, all in a wooden block about 14.5 inches tall. Cuisinart makes the blades from high-carbon stainless steel with a taper-ground edge, and the handles are navy.
It suits someone setting up a kitchen from nothing who wants one block rather than buying knives one at a time. People who already own a good chef knife and want to step up will get more from one better knife than from a full set.
Worth knowing Cuisinart's care guide says to wash the knives by hand, not in the dishwasher, and to wipe the block dry rather than soak it. Check the block's height against the space under your cabinets.

256GB Samsung P9 Express microSD Express Card
Samsung's 256GB P9 Express card, a microSD Express card for devices that have a microSD Express slot.
$47.99Shop on AmazonLowest price we've postedPrice as ofmicroSD Express is a newer kind of microSD card that uses the same PCIe and NVMe connection as a fast SSD. Samsung rates the P9 Express for reads of up to 800 MB/s in a microSD Express slot, several times what an ordinary card manages, which matters for devices that load large files straight from the card, such as handheld game consoles.
In a normal microSD slot or card reader it still works, but falls back to UHS-I speed, which Samsung gives as up to 90 MB/s. So it only makes sense if the device you are buying it for lists microSD Express support; for a phone, drone or camera without that slot, an ordinary card does the same job.
Worth knowing Samsung does not publish a write speed for this card. You need a microSD Express reader to get full speed on a computer.

Arlo Essential Plug-In Security Camera 2K (3rd Gen) - 2-Cam, 1-mo Secure plan incl.
A two-pack of Arlo's plug-in Essential outdoor cameras with 2K video, for watching a driveway or back door without batteries.
$34.99See it on AmazonThis deal has endedPrice as ofArlo sells this as the Essential Plug-In (2025 release). Each camera records 2K video with a 130-degree view, has a spotlight for color night video, two-way audio and a siren, and runs on a 16-foot outdoor power cable, so there are no batteries to charge. It connects straight to Wi-Fi on 2.4 or 5 GHz, with no Arlo hub needed. The pack includes a one-month Arlo Secure trial.
It suits renters and homeowners who have an outdoor outlet near where the camera goes. If there is no outlet, Arlo's battery Essential is the one to look at; for inside the house, the Essential Indoor has a privacy shield.
Worth knowing Without a paid Arlo Secure plan you get live view and motion alerts only; recorded video history and smart zones need the subscription. Arlo mentions no local storage.
