7 Best 4K TVs to Keep an Eye on in 2017

Even though 8K TVs were all the rage at this year’s CES, 4K television has yet to go mainstream. Let’s take a look at some of the best 4K TVs you can buy in 2017.

With both 4K monitors and TV sets becoming more affordable, it definitely looks like 2017 is going to be the year a lot more people adopt this resolution.

If you’ve finally decided to step into 4K territory, here are the best available options. To make sure we’re comparing apples to apples, we’ve decided to compare only 65-inch TV sets.

#1 4K TV: LG OLED65B6P

If you’re not taking any of that “Orange is the new black,” then your choice should definitely be this LG OLED6 series 4K TV. The black level response is nothing short of breathtaking. The ultra-thin design can complement any modern living room perfectly.

As a downside, you might notice that the very bright areas lack some details. Neither this, nor the subtle picture noise problems won’t make the LG OLED6 any less irresistible. The only thing that could possibly keep you away is the price tag of $2,997.

#2: Samsung UN65KS9500

Not only is this KS9500 series 4K TV curved, but it also packs several features you’re not going to see from other brands. While the curved screen isn’t for everyone, people looking for a more immersive experience will surely appreciate it. However, the use of HDR is really what sets this one apart.

Most people will probably use this 4K TV in tandem with a home theater system. Should you decide to rely solely on the TV set’s own speakers, you’ll definitely be surprised by the sound quality. Even at $2,197.99, this Samsung 4K TV is not the most expensive in our list, but includes features that are well above this price tag.

 #3: Sony XBR65X930D

Looking for top-notch picture quality, but can’t quite afford an OLED 4K TV? Sony’s high-end XBR-930D series should be your immediate choice. The Japanese manufacturer’s product scores high on design and performance, but could have been better in the features department.

Considering that for $1,798 you’re also getting 3D functionality, this Sony 4K TV could really transform your living room.

#4: TCL 65US5800

While other 4K TV manufacturers have decided to equip their products with proprietary multimedia players or with clunky versions of Android, TCL chose the Roku path. The smart TV experience provided by the 65US5800 feels superior in every possible way.


At $991.24, TCL’s offer is also the most affordable 4K on this list. As far as the value is concerned, it could have been better, as the picture quality doesn’t surpass the 1080p version that much, even though there are a lot more pixels at play here.

#5: Panasonic TC-65AX800U

This 4K TV’s integrated camera really takes entertainment to the next level. Sure, smart TV’s weren’t built for Skype calls and such, but it’s good to know that the option is there.

At approximately $1,700 the Panasonic TC-65AX800U is an excellent choice, if you consider that it comes with a THX 4K certified display.

Vizio D65u-D2 – First Runner Up

The first Vizio product on this list (that’s right, there are more) and it’s praised by the people who have bought it for having deeper blacks, better dark scene uniformity, just as good low motion blur and color accuracy that’s on par with non-OLED Samsung 4K TVs, once calibrated.

For around $900, the Vizio D65u-D2 is a budget-friendly solution that doesn’t require you to make many compromises.

Vizio Reference Series – Second Runner Up

Even though the design of the Reference Series was first showcased by Vizio at CES 2014, this 4K TV still looks very futuristic, a fact that earned it a spot as the second runner-up in our list. Some of the highlights include 10-bit color, full-array local dimming and quantum dot color.


Most importantly, the Reference Series includes a soundbar, subwoofer and speakers, so you won’t have to spend extra for great sound quality. The only compromises you will have to make are viewing angles, which aren’t very wide, and color accuracy, which doesn’t excel. Other than that, at $3,036.56, this particular set is quite the bargain.

Which one of these will be on your shopping list this year? Do you know any other options that haven’t been included in this list? If so, please leave them in the comments section below.

Two Great Gifts for Geeky Whiskey Lovers

The Whiskey Ball 01

Watering down the whiskey is not only one of the most frequent rookie mistakes, but also a nightmare for long-time whiskey drinkers. In case you want to avoid that, or know a whiskey lover who would, the following two items available in our store make perfect gifts.

Drinking dark spirits is really regarded as a ritual by some people, and it would be a pity to ruin that by watering down the drink. Fortunately, there are plenty of solutions out there, from replacing ice cubes with something that’s able to maintain the drink cold for longer periods of time, to perfecting the way ice cubes are made. The following two options that are available in our store, Walyou Deals, not only achieve that effect, but also come at discounted prices, so they should be taken into consideration by all whiskey lovers.

The Whiskey Ball

As its name strongly suggests, this is a mold for making ice spheres that go well with whiskey. While you won’t end up with an icy Death Star in your whiskey glass, the sphere made using any of the two molds available in the package still look very cool.

Let others try to find new ways of making ice cubes clearer while you rock a perfectly rounded hunk of ice to keep your whiskey cool.

Needless to say, the ice sphere produced with these molds can be used with any type of liquor, and not just whiskey, so the choice is really yours.

The silicone rubber that’s used in these molds is FDA-approved & BPA-free, so you don’t have to worry about any chemical hazards.

Each resulting ball measures 2.5”, and given the shape, it will take a while before it starts diluting your drink.

Check out the following video to get an idea about how The Whiskey Ball looks and works in real-world scenarios.

To get a 2-pack of whiskey balls, head over to Walyou Deals, where you can find them for $17.95, instead of the $20 they’re typically retailing for.

Whiskey Bullets & Cylinder Set

If you’re looking to ditch ice cubes (or spheres) altogether and are feeling a bit militaristic whenever you’re drinking your liquors, you might want to consider the whiskey bullets and cylinder set made by SipDark.

Made out of stainless steel, these bullets will not alter your drink’s taste at all. All you need to do is place them in the freezer a few hours before using them, and popping them out whenever needed.

The Whiskey Bullets & Cylinder Set is available in our store for $60.98, 12% off the retail price of $70. That might not sound like a huge discount, but it’s still noticeable, especially since you won’t have to pay for shipping.

As in the case of The Whiskey Ball, these whiskey bullets are shipped for free to continental US addresses. All sales are final, and the deliveries are expected to take place between

Pay What You Want: Ethical Hacker & Pentester Pro Bundle

Pay What You Want Ethical Hacker and Pentester Pro Bundle 01

Want to step up your resume game? Then it’s time you learned some mad skills using the Ethical Hacker & Pentester Pro bundle that’s available in our store through a Pay What You Want scheme.

The first course included in the bundle focuses on pentesting (or penetration testing) Kali Linux. This series of tutorials has over 22 hours of HD videos and more than 120 lectures that will explain everything there is to know about the methods and attacks of black-hat hackers.

Coming next is Python Programming – Zero to Hero, a course that will help you understand how to interact with system files. On top of that, at the end of the 29+ hours of HD video & 157+ lectures, you’ll master testing, debugging and logging in Python.

Want to learn Python from an object-oriented perspective? Then the Linux System Administration with Python course is exactly what you need. At the end of the 18+ hours of HD video and 98+ lectures, you’ll be able to use Python to scan networks, expose system weaknesses and perform tests.

The Scheme Programming Course introduces you to the Lisp language, and the way it can be used to pentest. Scheme will pave the way to other programming languages that are extremely useful in this field.

Django Unchained with Python is a course that refers to the high-level Web framework that’s used for testing networks.

Up next we have Haskell Programming, a 9-hour long course on how to use Cabal, GHCI compiler, notepad++. Since Haskell is most often used in the banking sector for calculating huge investment tasks, it’s easy to see why knowing the vulnerabilities of such a system is extremely important.

At the end of the Ethical Hacking & Certification Training Course, which lasts more than 18 hours, you’ll master penetration testing and will be able to detect the vulnerabilities on your own network. Having such a certification can definitely help your career go upward.

Go Lang Programming Training, as its name suggests, focuses on Google’s open-source, high-level programming language that can be used for solving all sorts of problems.

Last, but definitely not least is the Learn the Essentials to Safe & Multi-Threaded Code with Scala course, which will teach you over the course of 11+ hours of HD video how to increase your skills with Java. There’s no doubt that this language is complex, but learning it will bring you a lot of personal and professional satisfaction.

The rules of the game couldn’t have been simpler! Pay at least $1 to get the last two courses, or beat the average (currently $13.57) to gain access to all 9 of them. Beating the leader price ($87) or make it into the Leaderboard at any point before the deal expires, and gain an entry to our current giveaway. As always, 10% of all proceeds are forwarded to a charity, and that’s yet another reason to consider getting this bundle. Considering that the retail value of this bundle is $1,431, there’s no doubt that we’re dealing with a bargain here!

Keep Your iPhone 6/6S Safe with These 5 Premium Cases

Maxboost 3100mAh Battery Case for iPhone 6 & 6S

Cases seem to have evolved at the same pace as the devices they’re protecting. As such, most of them feature added functionality, and do much more than just keeping the smartphone safe. Check out the following 5 premium iPhone 6/6S cases that are currently available in our store at heavily discounted prices.

From providing some extra charge exactly when you need it to protecting your contactless cards from being read, premium iPhone 6/6S cases have long gone past keeping the smartphone safe. Such accessories should be found in any iPhone owner’s pocket, especially since they can save a lot of room. If you happen to own an iPhone 6 or 6S, you should consider getting one of the following cases for it, as you might not get another chance to find them at such small prices.

Maxboost 3100mAh Battery Case for iPhone 6/6s

Would you like to be able to talk more on the iPhone or browse the Web for just a little bit longer? With a capacity of 3,100mAh, the Maxboost battery case can extend the battery life of the iPhone by more than 125%. How much is that? Just about 18 hours of talk time or 14 hours of Web browsing. The elegant design won’t make the smartphone much bulkier, so you don’t have to sacrifice beauty for more battery life. Besides, thanks to the included LEDs, you’ll always know how much charge there is left.

For the next 6 days, you can find the Maxboost 3100mAh battery case for iPhone 6/6S in our store, Walyou Deals at $29.99, a 69% discount from the original retail price.

Slim Juicer 3100mAh Battery Case for iPhone 6/6s

The Slim Juicer has the same capacity as the Maxboost battery case, but comes in black, so if you happen to prefer this non-color, ZeroLemon’s solution might be up your alley. The extra power is equivalent to one full charge, so you will no longer have to carry a charger with you, or look for power outlets anywhere you go. The Slim Juicer manages to protect the iPhone against bumps, shocks and drops, while also enhancing its aesthetics.

Typically retailing for $50, the Slim Juicer battery case costs just $30.00 in our store. However, if you’re considering getting this one, you’ll have yo hurry, as the deal will expire in less than 24 hours.

Mujjo iPhone 6 Plus/6s Plus Wallet Case

Mujjo takes elegance to an even higher level than the two previous cases. This one might not double as an external battery, but it’s made from leather and can successfully replace your wallet, assuming that you’re carrying only cards. The pocket holding the cards sits at an 80-degree angle, fact that contributes as well to the overall futuristic design of this case.

Available in black, gray, or tan, the Mujjo iPhone 6 Plus/6S Plus wallet case can be purchased in our store for $49.95 within the next 6 days. This one retails for $60, so the discount may not be spectacular, but it’s still worth it, if you consider that it also comes with free shipping.

RFID-Protective Card Holder & iPhone Case

Let’s face it, contactless credit cards are extremely convenient, as you no longer have to enter your PIN even for the smallest of transactions. However, hackers are able to deploy RFID scanners to steal your credit card details and make purchases in your name, or even deplete your bank account. RFID-protective wallets and cases such as the card holder and iPhone case developed by Silent Pocket can protect your smartphone and contactless in an extremely elegant body.

For the next two days, you can find Silent Pocket’s RFID-protective card holder and iPhone case in our store at $49, a 29% discount from the original retail price of $70.

ThinCharge iPhone 6/6S Battery Case

Touted as the thinnest battery case ever made, ChargeTech’s ThinCharge can double your iPhone’s battery life without making it look like a feature phone from the last century. In other words, you will no longer have to choose between a slim phone and a large battery case. The ThinCharge is available either in white or gold, so you can easily match it to the color of your iPhone.

In terms of capacity, the ThinCharge has 2,600mAh, which may not be as much as the previous models, but it’s still enough for hours upon hours of talking or Web browsing. Much like every other premium iPhone 6/6S case featured here, the ThinCharge features cutouts for all of the ports, so you won’t have to remove the case when charging the iPhone, using the speaker, or taking photos with the rear camera.

The ThinCharge iPhone 6/6S battery case is currently sold out, but it will be available again before you know it. Even though it typically retails for $129, in our store it’s priced at $56.99, which is less than half the original price. Considering the incredible slimness of this battery case and its impressive capacity, this is really a bargain, as the chances of finding something close to this are slim to none.

Everyone has different needs when it comes to the extra functions of the iPhone cases. Some are looking to extend the battery life of the smartphone, while others would rather own a case that doubles as a wallet. If you add to that the fact that some premium iPhone 6/6S cases can even prevent hackers using RFID scanners from stealing your identity, you can see why it’s so difficult to pick just one case as the best of them all. After all, who says you should only own a single case? You’ll definitely find yourself in situations when a specific case is better suited than another, but if you own more models, then you don’t have to worry about that.

All of the items presented above are shipped for free to continental US addresses, and all sales are final. Deliveries are expected to take place after the middle of May, provided that you place an order now.

Get 47% Off the Blumoo Bluetooth Universal Remote

Blumoo Bluetooth Universal Remote 01

Don’t you wish you could control all of your home theater electronics from a single place, without having to frantically look for lost remotes all the time? The Blumoo Bluetooth universal remote is great at doing just that, and now you can get it at a heavily discounted price in our store, Walyou Deals.

At a first glance, the Blumoo Bluetooth universal remote is just a device that consolidates all of your existing remote controls. However, a closer look reveals that Blumoo has a lot more features and packs a lot more functionality than regular universal remotes.

Of course, being able to control a lot of electronics from a single place is its main selling point, but it can also give you access to an interactive TV guide. This way, you’ll be able to filter content by genre, create favorites, change to a specific channel and find more info about a show.

In terms of compatibility, on the iOS side of things you need an iPhone 4S or newer, iPod Touch 5th gen or newer, or an iPad 3rd gen or newer. If you’d rather use an Android device, then it should run 4.0 or newer. The Alexa Voice Setup requires the Blumoo iOS mobile app.

Music streaming is yet another thing that Blumoo can handle well. It can stream from up to 150ft away to any powered speaker system. Thought that’d be all, folks? How about unlimited macros? With this feature, Blumoo enables you to perform an entire activity at the touch of a single button. That’s definitely a great way of making your life simpler!

Not at last, as of February 2016, Blumoo plays well with Apple Watch and Amazon Echo, meaning that now there are more ways to take control of your home theater system. Do you want to use voice commands to do the tasks? Then add an Amazon Echo to the mix. Would you rather control everything using a wearable? The Apple Watch can help you with that.

Bear in mind that if you want to control devices in separate rooms, you’d have to add a Blumoo Homebase in each room, but considering the convenience of using such a device over conventional remotes, the investment would be totally worth it. The enables you to switch between the Homebases easily, so there’s no problem there.

Blumoo typically retails for $100, but for the next 5 days, you can get it on Walyou Deals for a lot less. More specifically, you can have one of these modern wonders for just $52.99, which really is a fantastic price for a device packing so much functionality!

M3D Printer & 4 Reels of Filament Bundle

M3D Printer & 4 Reels of Filament Bundle 01

One of the main reasons most people dismiss 3D printing is because of the high costs implied by the needed equipment. Our store has a special deal including an M3D printer and 4 reels of filament at a much smaller price than what these would typically retail.

Is 3D printing something that could help you at work? Or maybe you just want to print toys for your kids? Regardless of your purpose, the M3D printer can help you create small-sized objects in a jiffy. Back in 2014, when Micro 3D Printer turned to Kickstarter to fund the production of this device, the project received more than 70 times the funding goal, and that’s definitely not something that happens with every crowdfunded device out there. The support it received from the backers is proof of how much people believed in M3D printer’s potential. Now, you can have one yourself, with a 20% discount.

At 7.3″ (185mm) per side of its cube-shaped body, the M3D printer is the kind of device one could easily fit in a backpack. It’s not that heavy, either, as it only weighs 1kg. Have I mentioned that it’s very convenient? You just need to connect it to a computer via the included USB cable, and from that point you can start printing, assuming that you’ve already installed the M3D software.

You really shouldn’t worry about compatibility, as the printer works equally well on PCs and Macs, and can handle both .obj and .stl files.

Unlike other 3D printers that can only work with a single type of material, the M3D printer handles ABS, PLA, nylon, professional, and chameleon filaments. The layer resolution varies between 50 and 350 microns, with a 15 micron X & Y positioning accuracy.

As for the diameter of the filament, it works with standard 1.75mm. You can fit 1/2lb rolls within the printbed, but standard filament rolls are supported, as well.

As the name clearly implies, this is a micro 3D printer, so it might be great if you’re just getting started in this field, but don’t expect to print at an industrial scale. In fact, the print height cannot exceed 116mm or 4.6″.

The base print area measures 109mm x 113mm, while the print area above 74mm is 91mm x 84mm. Besides, the device comes with a removable print bed size measuring 128×128mm.

The M3D printer and 4 reels of filament bundle is available in the next 3 days in our store, and considering that it comes with a 20% discount of the retail price, you really shouldn’t think twice. This 3D printer makes a great starting point for anyone who’s just taking their first steps in this area, so this bargain just isn’t something that they should miss, especially since the item comes with a 1-year manufacturer warranty.

As always, all sales are final and all orders are shipped for free to continental US addresses, with deliveries expected to take place between May 17 and 20.

The entire purpose of this company is to help become better at anything, and thus, turn into valuable assets on the job market. The Pro Digital Photography & Photoshop Bundle was developed by professional photographers and accredited Photoshop teachers, so you’re definitely in good hands.

PowerPlay Smooth Leather Macbook Cord Organizer

Powerplay Macbook Cord Organizer 01

Is your MagSafe power adapter difficult to keep tidy, but at the same time, you think that most cord organizers out there are not classy enough? Then you haven’t seen the PowerPlay Macbook cord organizer, a soft leather accessory that’s both elegant and highly functional.

In terms of design, Apple’s products are little works of art, and any accessory for them should complement them perfectly. Most cord organizers out there either have a dull aspect or are made out of materials of a questionable quality. The PowerPlay MacBook cord organizer is neither of those, as it is made from high-quality leather and an elastic band that not only look great, but also work great with your power cord.

Using the PowerPlay MacBook cord organizer couldn’t have been simpler. You just need to slip the elastic band around the adapter, and place the cords around the leather bobbins, as seen in the images. Next, you have to adjust the leather piece so that the cords sit tightly in place. Frankly, organizing your MacBook power cord doesn’t get any more stylish and easier than this!

The PowerPlay MacBook cord organizer is available in two color options: black/django and mahogany/camo. Other than that, the two version are identical in size and functionality. Speaking of size, at 3.2″ in diameter, the cord organizers are barely noticeable, and that’s the entire point of using such a gadget.

One of the best things about the PowerPlay cord organizer is that you don’t need to stash it away while you’re using your MacBook. On the contrary, it can remain attached to the power brick, so you can use it whenever you need it. Even though scratching the surface of the power brick doesn’t affect the functionality in any way, but it’s still great that the PowerPlay cord organizer can also offer some protection.

If compatibility is your concern, then know that the PowerPlay cord organizer works with both 85W & 60W MagSafe/MagSafe 2 power adapters, so you can use it with both old and new MacBooks.

To get the Powerplay Macbook cord organizer, head over to Walyou Deals, where you can find it for $32. The deal will end in four days, so if you’re looking for a classy way to keep your MacBook cord all tidy, now is the time to act! The deal isn’t only time-sensitive, as our store features this MacBook accessory in exclusivity, so you won’t be able to find this little gadget at e-tailers. All sales are final and orders are shipped for free internationally, with deliveries expected to take place between May 1 and 4.

FlipFlic IoT Gadget Automates Window Blinds

FlipFlic 02

We focus so much on automating complex mechanism that we tend to forget about the things that could truly use going through such a process. A good example are window blinds, which now, thanks to FlipFlic can be opened or closed automatically, thus no longer causing you to waste time.

Touted as the first plug & play solution for window blinds, FlipFlic by Jalousier (read my first post on this company here here) is a zero-maintenance IoT gadget – in that it is solar powered and doesn’t require you to change its batteries – that will simply make your life better in more than just one way. Sure, it can save you the time you’d otherwise spend opening and closing the blinds, but on top of that, FlipFlic can also adjust the blinds when there’s too much light or heat. Not to mention that it can help you get a head start in the morning, as it can open the blinds just before you wake up.

“It just hit me; there’s got to be a way to automatically control indoor light and temperature without breaking your wallet on expensive and low tech motorized blinds,” recalls Ksenia Vinogradova, FlipFlic’s CEO and “Mom in Tech,” of the moment when she was confronted with opening 12 window blinds at home and even more at work. “Window blinds are there to regulate incoming heat and light, but it is nobody’s job to open and close them several times a day. Such a simple, but annoying task has got to be automated, just like many other things at home.”

“This is an exciting opportunity to design a really practical product that incorporates a lot of cutting-edge technology, including smart sensors and wireless integration,” added Sergey Vinogradov, FlipFlic co-founder and technology lead. “Our team was challenged to come up with a distinctive and iconic product design that would look terrific in any home.”

As any respectable IoT gadget, the FlipFlic comes with a companion app (available for both iOS and Android) that grants you full control over your blinds. Basically, you can set the FlipFlic to open or close them based on temperature, light, or according to a timer. Best of all, you can control multiple FlipFlic kits from within a single app, so imagine how easy it would be to lighten up a large conference room!

FlipFlic is currently featured on Kickstarter, where Ksenia and Sergey set a funding goal of $50,000. Given the innovation factor, it’s no wonder that the project hit this goal in just 9 days, and it’s now getting stretch goals. Early birds could get a FlipFlic kit for as little as $60, but those spots have long been gone, and now you’d have to pledge $85+ for a kit. Even so, the gadget is well worth the money, as it can help you save a lot of time and frustration.

Bear in mind that you’ll have to choose between a kit for vertical or horizontal blinds when the crowdfunding campaign ends.
