Another week, another roundup of today’s best tech deals. Today’s Dealmaster features a new all-time low ($998, $1,500) on Samsung’s art-inspired “The Frame” 4K TV. This TV has a unique party trick where it can display famous paintings on the screen when not in use, lending itself to a classier decor than just a regular black square. It’s also a decent 4K TV and competitively priced with this discount and 55-inch size.

Reviews from some of our most trusted publications portray The Frame as an upper-mid-level offering in terms of performance, so if the art feature is attractive to you then it shouldn’t disappoint in any other areas. However, if you’re looking for one of the best in its class (a very similar class to The Frame, as well), then LG’s C2 is also on sale ($1,597,$1,797) and receives higher marks than The Frame.

Further ReadingPixel 6a review: Google pares down the Pixel 6 to perfectionSpeaking of best in class, the Pixel 6a is also seeing a record-low price cut to $299($380), making one of the most (if not the most) value-stuffed phones an even better bang for your smartphone buck. We recently reviewed the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, and while we found them to still be the best Android phones available, they didn’t improve significantly on the Pixel 6 lineup. The Pixel 7a is yet to be announced but will likely come in mid-2023 and offer similarly incremental improvements over the 6a. For that reason, we’d still feel plenty comfortable picking up a Pixel 6a for $299 and knowing we’ll have “a mid-range juggernaut,” as our own Ron Amadeo put it in his review.

Elsewhere around the web, we have discounts on a few Beats headphones that match their lowest tracked prices, a handful of Google smart speakers and displays, a few of our favorite video games, and much more.Check out the full curated list of the week’s best deals below.
