For that price, you’re getting a 4K OLED panel that delivers deep blacks and excellent contrast, though at around 496 nits, it’s relatively dim, meaning darker scenes can lose detail in rooms with plenty of sunlight or ambient light. 65-inch Roku Pro Series OLED TV $799.99 at Amazon $1,199.99 Save $400.00 Get Deal Get Deal $799.99 at Amazon $1,199.99 Save $400.00 Where the Pro Series OLED makes a stronger case for itself is gaming—its 120Hz refresh rate, VRR support, and AMD FreeSync Premium help keep fast-moving games looking smooth, with this PCMag review measuring an input lag of just 4.8 milliseconds at 1080p/120Hz and 8.8 milliseconds at 4K/60Hz, earning it the publication’s Lab Award for lowest input lag. That translates to very little delay between pressing a button and seeing the action onscreen, which is especially useful in racing games and competitive shooters. You also get four HDMI ports and support for Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG, although Nvidia G-Sync support is absent.Outside gaming, the TV runs Roku’s own OS, whose straightforward interface puts your streaming apps front and center without burying them beneath endless recommendations—and it supports nearly every major streaming service except Twitch, along with AirPlay for casting from an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Beyond streaming, you get Wi-Fi 5 for wireless connectivity and an ATSC 1.0 tuner for watching over-the-a
BAGANBAZAR GRAPHSource-attributed newsTECHNOLOGY deskLast month's Apple event was a big one. The company announced (and subsequently released) the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, Apple Watch Series 12, and Apple Watch Ultra 4. It also announced the iPhone Duo, though the company's first foldable phone still isn't out yet. Despite all these new products, Apple apparently wasn't finished. Next week, the company will host another product announcement, titled "Welcome Home." Here's what we know. What will Apple announce at its "Welcome Home" event?Apple's product announcement hints are usually pretty subtle. This time, it isn't. "Welcome Home" is almost assuredly referencing Apple's long-rumored smart home devices. Sure, the company makes some smart devices, like the HomePod and HomePod mini, but leaks suggest the company has some big updates up its sleeve. Perhaps no announcement will be bigger than its smart home hub. This device, according to the rumor mill, will be a mix between an iPad and a HomePod, competing with similar devices from companies like Amazon and Google. It may ship with a six-inch display (some reports suggest the screen is a square), but it won't be like an iPad on a stand. Instead, the experience seems more focused, letting you control smart home devices, make and receive FaceTime calls, watch videos, display the news and water data, and check your calendar. Of course, it will likely work with Siri AI, the company's new AI-powered assistant. Apple may even expect users to buy more than one of these hubs. The idea could be to have multiple hubs throughout your house, which could let you use them like intercoms. (Apple currently offers a similar feature with its HomePods.) If the rumors are to be believed, the smart hub will understand the voice of whoever is talking to it, and tailor the experience to

Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.The heart rate sensors on smartwatches are usually good enough for casual training (and some of them are really good), but to get the best possible accuracy, you want a separate heart rate monitor—ideally a chest strap. Fortunately, these wearables are still on sale even after the end of October Prime Day. Heart rate monitors from Polar, Coospo, and more were available at discounts, and two of my favorite models are still discounted. The Polar H10 chest strap is $20 offAll electrical chest straps are good, but the consensus in the fitness world is that if you want the best, you get the Polar H10. It’s the chest strap that Apple used in its own heart-rate accuracy testing; it’s also the one I recall being put on me when I did a VO2max test in a lab. It retails for $104.95 but goes on sale from time to time, and now is one of those times: You can pick up a Polar H10 for $84.74.

Full disclosure, the H6 model I used for over four years finally gave up its ghost, so I’ve moved on to a newer model, the H808S. Both are on sale: the H6 for $23.99, down from $29.99, and the H808S is $26.26, down from $36.99.
