It's hard to find anything for under $100 these days, let alone something you could potentially use for several hours every day. But if you're one to shop for deals that are so attractive they make you do a double-take, we've found something special.

As of Sept. 11, Amazon is selling the 32-inch Samsung Class HD H5000F Smart TV for only $97.96, marked down from the normal price of $147.99. That works out to a 34% discount, matching the record low we've seen on Amazon.

You've always considered putting a TV in the garage, the entry way, or making an upgrade to the guest room, and now here's your chance to do so for under $100. While the 32-inch Samsung is fairly petite in display size, it's perfect for a kids' room, rec room, or catching games in the garage. For under $100, the options are endless.

This 2025 Samsung TV has HDR for contrast and detail, as well as object tracking sound for a more real-life experience. In addition, the slim design gives the TV a modern feel.

Since everything is too expensive these days, scoring a Samsung TV for under $100 feels like a heck of a win. Just be sure to check out before this deal vanishes from Amazon.

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 17:24

SAVE UP TO $1,200: Verizon is packed with iPhone 18 deals, including options that save up to $1,200 on a new device.

Welcome to a great week for Apple fans. Earlier this week, we got introduced to the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the iPhone Duo, Apple's first foldable phone. If you've made the decision to upgrade, you're probably searching for the best deal on preordering the iPhone 18 Pro. Verizon has some attractive options on offer, which we've broken down into easy-to-digest terms below.

If you're interested in signing up for a Verizon Simplicity Pro plan, you can look forward to a simple $80 monthly bill. Broken down, it works out to a $50 device payment for the iPhone 18 Pro and a $30 bill for the Verizon Unlimited plan. More benefits of this option include the ability to upgrade to the newest iPhone once every 12 months.

Another option at Verizon is to sign up for a myPlan account to save up to $1,200 on a new iPhone 18 model. If you switch to Verizon or open a new line, you're eligible to save the full $1,200 with a qualified trade-in. Those who upgrade an existing myPlan account can save up to $1,200 with an eligible trade-in.

If you're in the mood to buy a new iPhone and sign up for a Verizon Simplicity or myPlan account, you can snag a free Apple Watch and Apple iPad. Over 36 months of bill credit, Verizon will cover the cost of both the Watch and tablet.

Finally, anyone who switches to Verizon Business with an eligible trade-in can get the iPhone 18 Pro (256GB) for free. If you prefer the iPhone 18 Pro Max, switching to Verizon Business will offer a savings of $1,200 on the upgraded model.

Keep in mind preorders for the iPhone 18 Pro at Verizon begin on Sept. 12 at 8 a.m. ET and preorders for the iPhone Duo begin on Oct. 16 at Verizon.

Upgrading to the new iPhone 18 Pro, Pro Max, or foldable Duo? Here’s how to score up to $1,200 off at AT&T.

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 16:41

TL;DR: Apple’s brand-new iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, and foldable iPhone Duo are officially hitting AT&T. To lure switchers, AT&T is offering up to $1,200 off with an eligible iPhone trade-in in any condition, up to $800 to cover your tab if you switch, and automatic bill credits if you ever hit a network outage.

AT&T iPhone 18 and Duo deals Apple iPhone 18 Pro (256 GB) $33.34/month | With trade-in deal: As low as $0/mo ($1,200 off) Learn More Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max (256 GB) $36.12/month | With trade-in deal: As low as $2.78/mo ($1,200 off) Learn More Apple iPhone Duo (512 GB) $55.56/month | With trade-in deal: As low as $22.22/mo ($1,200 off) Learn More

Thinking about upgrading your phone or jumping ship from another carrier? Apple just dropped its latest iPhone lineup, and AT&T is rolling out some massive incentives to get you onto its network.

Whether you want Apple’s first-ever foldable or a top-tier camera setup, here is everything you need to know about the new phones and the deals AT&T is offering.

Apple’s big splash this year is its very first foldable, the iPhone Duo. Closed, it feels like a normal pocketable phone with a 5.4-inch outer screen, but it flips open into a huge 7.6-inch inner display for gaming, watching videos, or running apps side-by-side. It runs on the ultra-fast A20 Pro chip, sports an eSIM-only design so Apple could fit a dual-battery system inside, and comes in star white or night sky.

If you prefer a classic, heavy-duty phone, the 18 Pro lineup gives you a choice between a 6.3-inch screen on the standard Pro or a massive 6.9-inch display on the Pro Max. The biggest upgrade here is in the camera: a new 48MP main sensor equipped with an actual physical variable aperture, giving you real hardware control over background blur and low-light shots. Both run on the A20 Pro chip, feature Ceramic Shield 2 for 3x better scratch protection, and come in black, silver, glacier, or an all-new burgundy.

How the AT&T promos work and what to know

AT&T is running a few different stackable offers right now, but there are a few important conditions to keep in mind before you click buy:

  • Up to $1,200 Off via Trade-In — You can trade in an eligible iPhone in any condition to get up to $1,200 off. The catch? Securing the full $1,200 requires an Unlimited Premium 2.0 plan and a trade-in of an iPhone 14 or newer. Lower tiers like Unlimited Extra 2.0 cap out at $930 off, while older iPhones yield lower credit amounts.

    All savings are delivered via monthly bill credits over a 36-month installment plan — if you leave AT&T early, you forfeit remaining credits and owe the balance.

  • Up to $800 Switcher Credit — Coming from T-Mobile or Verizon? AT&T offers up to $800 to help pay off your remaining device tab on your old carrier.

  • Save $200 Online — Order on AT&T or through the AT&T app to shave an extra $200 off per line right off the top.

  • Next Up Anytime ($10/mo) — An optional add-on that lets you swap your phone for a new model up to three times in a 12-month period once a third of the device is paid off.

SEE ALSO: I played with Apple’s new iPhones. Here’s what surprised me most Checkout costs and fine print

Expect a $35 activation/upgrade fee per line plus sales tax paid upfront on the full retail price of the phone. Also, if you add a line to secure a promo, you must keep all other lines active for at least 90 days, or your credits will stop.

On the upside, your service is backed by the AT&T Guarantee: if a qualifying network outage hits your area, your phone will automatically ping you via iOS 27 and issue a bill credit without making you call customer service.

Release and preorder dates

Preorders for the new devices are split across two dates:

  • iPhone 18 Pro & Pro Max — Preorders begin Sept. 12 at 5:00 a.m. PT.

  • iPhone Duo — Preorders begin Oct. 16 at 5:00 a.m. PT.

Just make sure to double-check your current plan and trade-in device before preorders go live so you can grab the full discount. Orders can be placed online at AT&T, via the AT&T app, or in AT&T retail stores.

  • T-Mobile: Get the iPhone 18 Pro for free when you switch or trade in an eligible phone on an Experience Beyond plan

  • Total Wireless: Save $600 on iPhone 18 Pro or Pro Max on the All Access plan

  • Verizon: Get up to $1,200 off when you add a new line (with qualified trade-in) on eligible myPlan

Apple iOS 27 is almost here: When you can download it

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 16:04

Apple's next big iOS update is finally on the launch pad.

At its "Surprise and Shine" event on Sept. 9, Apple showed off new wares like the iPhone 18 Pro lineup, the foldable iPhone Duo, new Apple Watches, and the AirPods 5. One of the smaller (but still significant) nuggets of news to come out of the event concerned iOS 27. Specifically, when you can finally download it to your iPhone.

Users with compatible iPhones will be able to install iOS 27 on Monday, Sept. 14.

How to download iOS 27

If you have one of the compatible iPhones (keep scrolling for the full list), then starting on Monday, Sept. 14, you can look for iOS 27. Apple typically releases a new iOS at 10:00 a.m. PT (1:00 p.m. ET).

Follow these steps to get iOS 27 set up on your iPhone:

  • Go to the Settings app on your phone

  • Go to General

  • Go to Software Update and wait as the system checks for new updates

  • When iOS 27 appears, you can download and install the new OS

You can also click "Automatic Updates" and turn this feature to "On." That way, iOS 27 should automatically download once it's available (your phone must be locked and charging to download automatic updates).

What's new with iOS 27? This is a big one! Siri AI, new Apple Intelligence tools, and Liquid Glass updates are all coming soon. Credit: Apple

If you haven't been following along, iOS 27 is the one that finally brings us Siri AI. You can now talk to Siri like you would an AI chatbot, and it's powered by Google Gemini.

Some of the most exciting changes coming to iPhones involve new AI photo-editing features, such as spatial reframing. Users will more easily be able to remove unwanted details, or even describe the edits they'd like to Siri by voice or text. Android smartphones from Google and Samsung have had a full suite of AI editing tools for a couple of years now, and Apple is finally catching up. Smart photo editing will also help users make the most of the iPhone 18 Pro Max's new camera features.

Apple also included some new and subtle customization options for Liquid Glass, various small updates for apps like Health, Photos, and Notes, and more.

SEE ALSO: 5 Siri AI and iOS 27 features we’re looking forward to Every iPhone that supports iOS 27

Of course, you can only go through that whole downloading process if you have a device that supports iOS 27. Here are the devices that work with the new iOS:

  • iPhone SE (second generation or later)

  • iPhone 11

  • iPhone 11 Pro

  • iPhone 11 Pro Max

  • iPhone 12

  • iPhone 12 Mini

  • iPhone 12 Pro

  • iPhone 12 Pro Max

  • iPhone 13

  • iPhone 13 Mini

  • iPhone 13 Pro

  • iPhone 13 Pro Max

  • iPhone 14

  • iPhone 14 Plus

  • iPhone 14 Pro

  • iPhone 14 Pro Max

  • iPhone 15

  • iPhone 15 Plus

  • iPhone 15 Pro

  • iPhone 15 Pro Max

  • iPhone 16

  • iPhone 16e

  • iPhone 16 Plus

  • iPhone 16 Pro

  • iPhone 16 Pro Max

  • iPhone 17

  • iPhone 17e

  • iPhone Air

  • iPhone 17 Pro

  • iPhone 17 Pro Max

  • iPhone 18 Pro

  • iPhone 18 Pro Max

  • iPhone Duo

If you don't have one of those, you're out of luck. We should also note that Siri AI will not be coming to Europe due to some regulatory issues. Sorry, European friends.

Brauns new pod-free coffee maker brews everything from cold brew to espresso-style shots — and its yours for under $200

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 14:51

TL;DR: Braun Household officially launched the OptiBrew Pro in the U.S. for $199.95. The pod-free drip machine is designed to replace both your standard morning pot and single-serve pod systems.

Opens in a new window Credit: Braun Braun OptiBrew Pro $199.95 at Amazon
  Shop Now

Braun wants to upgrade your basic morning coffee pot. Instead of buying a separate pod machine, a cold-brew pitcher, and a stand-alone milk frother, the new OptiBrew line puts everything into one super-slim, 6.75-inch-wide machine.

The whole setup runs on regular ground coffee — meaning zero plastic pods to throw away — and uses smart temperature tech to make sure your coffee tastes good, not burnt. You can brew a single 8-oz cup before heading out the door, or brew a full 12-cup pot in under 8 minutes when people come over.

While the base OptiBrew handles standard drip and iced coffee, the U.S.-bound OptiBrew Pro goes a step further for latte lovers. It adds a "Coffee Shot" button that makes super-strong, espresso-style coffee, plus a built-in whisk on the side to froth hot or cold milk for fancy drinks.

SEE ALSO: De'Longhi just launched a coffee machine that makes both hot and iced drinks — and it's yours for under $1,000

You can dial in seven precise sizes, ranging from a single 8-oz travel mug to a full 12-cup glass carafe (which brews in under eight minutes flat). The OptiBrew Pro gives you five distinct brew styles to match whatever you're craving:

  • Regular — Classic hot drip calibrated for smooth, balanced morning sipping.

  • Bold — A stronger, richer hot brew for an extra punchy kick.

  • Over Ice — Brews concentrated hot coffee directly over ice without watering down your drink.

  • Rapid Cold Brew — Cuts out the traditional overnight wait, using specialized pressure and flow extraction to deliver low-acid, refreshing cold brew in minutes instead of 24 hours.

  • Concentrated Coffee Shot — The Pro’s secret weapon — a fifth brew mode that creates a rich, intense coffee concentrate built specifically as a base for lattes and cappuccinos.

To complete your café orders at home, the OptiBrew Pro features an integrated whisk frother mounted on the side of the machine. It whips up dairy milk or plant-based alternatives into thick, creamy foam for hot drinks, or silky cold foam for iced drinks, saving you from spending extra cash on an external frothing wand.

It’s also packed with thoughtful daily features, like an intuitive control panel, a 24-hour programmable timer so you can wake up to freshly brewed coffee, and an adjustable warming plate that keeps your carafe warm for up to four hours.

Score a full coffeehouse setup at home — grab the OptiBrew Pro for under $200 at Amazon.

$249 Save $60 Get Deal

A high-speed curved gaming monitor for under $200 is already a pretty sight for your gaming budget, but the fact that it’s a deal on a model from a top-tier brand like ASUS is even better. 

As of Sept. 11, the 32-inch ASUS TUF Gaming monitor (VG32VQM5AZ SKU) is $189 at Amazon as a limited-time deal, knocking $60 off its $249 list price for a 24% discount. The new monitor is sold and shipped by Amazon, and free 30-day returns are included as well. 

For what’s now this TUF Gaming monitor’s lowest price with the retailer (confirmed with price tracker camelcamelcamel), you get a 31.5-inch Full HD panel with a 1500R curve — giving the display a more enveloping shape than ASUS' flatter TUF alternatives. The top spec here is its top overclocked speed of 240hz alongside a minimum 0.5ms GTG response time.

To keep anything you play or watch extra eye-popping in terms of pure visuals, this monitor covers 120% of the sRGB color gamut and supports HDR, with Shadow Boost available to lift detail in darker parts of a scene or level. 

To round out the package, the DisplayWidget Center even lets you tweak settings with a mouse instead of repeatedly digging through the monitor's physical controls.

Andrew Garfield on the meaning of no kings in The Uprising

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 14:00

"No kings."

What the phrase means in 2026 America might be different to what it meant to England during the 1381 Peasants' Revolt, but it's a powerful declaration in either context.

Connecting these words across time, Paul Greengrass' The Uprising tracks one of the defining moments of radicalism in British history. We meet Andrew Garfield as John Ploughman, a farmer who plays a key role in the resistance. In the 14th century, farmers, artisans, priests, and more common folk took on the tyranny of King Richard III, as the impact of the Black Death hung heavy, the Poll Tax ruined lives, and the Hundred Years’ War between England and France raged.

And in the film, Ploughman indeed says aloud, "No kings."

"It was a line that Paul thought he should cut because he had written it before all of the "No Kings" protests that were happening in the United States against Trump," said Garfield. "He was worried that it would feel like we are trying to say something specific in response to something that's just happening. But in fact, it predated any of that stuff happening in real time.

"It felt the right thing just to go, no, this is something universal. This is something that is unfortunately timeless. And it's a beautiful sentiment. The idea of hierarchy that is preordained being deconstructed feels very important."

"This is something universal. This is something that is unfortunately timeless." - Andrew Garfielf

Mashable Senior Editor Shannon Connellan sat down with Garfield, in the historic Charterhouse in London, a medieval monastery built before the revolt, just around the corner from St Johns Priory and Smithfield, where major events in the uprising happened (you'll see them in the film).

Watch the interview above, in which Garfield unpacks The Uprising, including working with co-stars Cosmo Jarvis and Jamie Bell, the choreography involved with Greengrass' handheld, documentary-style action, and wielding farm tools against steel and armour.

The Uprising opens in theaters in the U.S. on Sept. 10; a UK release will follow on Oct. 9.

Narwal’s newest lineup features powerful steam mopping and a $799 robot vac — here’s all we know

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 13:55

TL;DR: Narwal unveiled three new floor cleaners across three categories: the Freo 20 Edge robot vacuum ($799 for 31,000 Pa suction), the 3.1-lb V50 Cube self-emptying stick vac, and a next-gen wet & dry vacuum powered by 752°F steam cleaning.

Narwal just expanded its home-cleaning lineup with three new devices across three core categories: a feature-packed robot vacuum, an ultralight self-emptying stick vacuum, and a heavy-duty steam wet-and-dry vacuum.

Credit: Narwal

Built to deliver premium floor care without high-end compromises, the Freo 20 Edge packs flagship-grade 31,000 Pa suction for deep carpet cleaning. It features real-time self-cleaning mopping at room temperature, so it never drags dirt back across your floors, alongside 150+ object recognition powered by hidden dToF LiDAR navigation and structured light sensors to avoid household obstacles.

It automatically empties the robot's dustbin into a 2.5L self-sealing dust bag (good for up to 120 days) and uses 45°C (113°F) hot air to dry the mop track after every run. The Freo 20 Edge is available on Amazon for $799.

SEE ALSO: The best robot vacuums of 2026 so far: I've tested 10+ new models since January, but these 4 stood out Credit: Narwal Credit: Narwal

The V50 Cube is Narwal’s first stick vacuum in the US, also its most compact model yet, with a handheld body weighing just 3.1 lbs. It combines AI-optimized suction technology and carpet-focused vacuuming with a compact 5-in-1 dock that handles automatic dust emptying, brush self-cleaning, and tool storage.

The base station takes up less floor space than an iPad Air while doing all the heavy lifting. Slide the vacuum in, and the dock takes over — emptying the dustbin into a 100-day UV-sterilized bag, scraping the cyclone mesh, detangling the brush roll, charging the battery, and hiding all your attachments inside.

The vacuum uses a certified ZeroWrap 4-stage detangling brush roll with a wide-angle aqua LED light that exposes micro-dust and pet hair hiding in dark corners. Rollouts for the V50 Cube begin in Europe in September 2026. Official U.S. pricing and launch dates will be announced soon.

Credit: Narwal Credit: Narwal

Designed to conquer greasy kitchen messes and sticky, dried-on spills, the next-gen wet & dry vacuum turns up the heat with extreme sanitization. It combines a high-temp 752°F steam function at the source with 203°F hot-water floor mopping to instantly dissolve stubborn grime and kill floor bacteria without harsh chemical sprays.

It features 25,000 Pa of suction power paired with 33N of downward mopping pressure to force dirty water into the recovery tank in a single pass. When docked, the base station flushes the internal pipes and roller with hot water and steam, followed by a quiet hot-air drying cycle to prevent mold and unpleasant odors.

Lego's massive 4,154-piece Tropical Aquarium set has received a huge $56 discount on Amazon, hitting its lowest price yet at the retailer. If you've been on the lookout for a big new build to put together this fall, or over the cooler months to come when you're spending more time inside, this set is well worth a look.

While this Lego set is usually priced at $479.99, Amazon's knocked it down to $423.99. This marks its lowest price yet there, so it's a perfect time to grab it if its delightfully vibrant underwater display has caught your eye.

SEE ALSO: First look: Lego’s 1,911-piece PlayStation set is the ultimate retro gaming flex

While the Lego Icons Tropical Aquarium set's colors are certainly eye-catching, its 4,154-piece build is quite detailed as well. Within the aquarium, you'll find four fish, an oyster shell with a pearl, plants and coral, sea worms, sea snails, and more. It even features dials and cranks you can rotate to make the fish swim or coral sway, which is an incredibly cool way to breathe a bit of life into it.

You'll also want to make sure you have plenty of space available for it, as the store page says it measures over 14 inches high, 20.5 inches wide, and 11 inches deep. It's also worth noting that this set is recommended for adults to assemble, likely due to its high piece count and more complex functional elements.

There's no telling how long this deal will be live for, so act fast to save on the Lego Icons Tropical Aquarium at Amazon.

As a Magic: The Gathering expansion, Marvel Super Heroes has been one of the biggest examples of major price fluctuations in trading card products since its release in June. While stocks last, though, you can score over $60 off the 30-pack Play Booster Box.

As of Sept. 11, the Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes Play Booster Box is $147.98 at Amazon through third-party seller Industrial Resolution. Altogether, that cuts $61.72 from the $209.70 list price — bringing the cost of each Play Booster down to approximately $4.93.

Delivery is set for Sept. 18 on this one in particular at the time of writing, but also a $148.88 Amazon listing sold by The Game Capital and fulfilled by Amazon itself, with delivery estimated for Sept. 16, if you don’t mind spending slightly more.

Whichever retailer you choose, the box contains 30 Play Boosters, each with 14 cards from the Marvel hero-themed collection. Every pack has one Traditional Foil, alongside one to four cards of rare or higher rarity, three to five uncommons, six to nine commons, and one land. There’s also a sub-1% chance of finding a Foil Borderless Mythic Rare.

The Daily Show gives a brutal recap of Trumps midterm convention

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 12:35

Didn't manage watch Trump's midterm convention? You weren't the only one.

The good news is Daily Show host Michael Kosta has recapped the whole thing. In the clip above Kosta goes through the lowlights, from Senate hopeful Ken Paxton's jokes falling a little flat ("Oh no he didn't...make anyone laugh," says Kosta after a clip of Paxton's jokes getting a tumbleweed response) to Trump offering Americans $5,000 if the Republicans win both the House and the Senate.

"$5,000? That's two trips to the grocery store!" says Kosta. "Or one if you buy raspberries. I like how Trump calls this a dividend. Do you know when businesses hand out dividends, when they're raking in money? The last time I checked, we, as a country, have negative $40 trillion of money."

Kosta wasn't the only one to poke fun at the convention. Elsewhere, Jimmy Kimmel also had some thoughts about the empty seats.

Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on September 11

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 12:23

It's the New Moon tonight, which means the side we see is completely dark. This is because the Moon is positioned between Earth and the Sun, with the sunlit side facing away from us.

What is today’s Moon phase?

As of Friday, Sept. 11, NASA's Daily Moon Guide tracker tells us the Moon is in the New Moon phase, with 0% of its surface visible.

When is the next Full Moon?

The next Full Moon will take place on September 26.

What are Moon phases?

The Moon's appearance gradually changes as it travels around Earth, completing a full lunar cycle in approximately 29.5 days, NASA tells us. What we see from Earth depends on the Moon's position in relation to the Sun, which affects how much of its illuminated side is visible. As the cycle progresses, the Moon passes through a series of phases, from a thin crescent to a half Moon and then a Full Moon, before starting over.

The eight phases are:

New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.

TCL just announced a massive line of eye-friendly phones, versatile tablets, and 10,000-nit Mini LED TVs

Fri, 09/11/2026 - 12:20

TL; DR: At IFA 2026 in Berlin, TCL officially unveiled a massive hardware showcase spanning smartphones, tablets, and TVs. Highlights include the TCL P80 Ultra and P80 Pro, the versatile TAB A1 tablet series, and the absurdly bright X11L SQD-Mini LED TV, which packs up to 10,000 nits of peak brightness.

TCL took the stage at IFA 2026 to reveal a massive wave of upcoming gear. Instead of just throwing tech specs at us, they focused on solving two real-world problems: stopping screen glare from frying your eyeballs, and building TVs so ridiculously bright your living room feels like a movie theater. Here is a quick breakdown of what’s coming down the pipe.

Smartphones: Vibrant colors that don't blind you

Leading the phone pack are the TCL P80 Ultra and P80 Pro. They're the first phones ever to mix AMOLED screen colors with TCL's matte, paper-like display tech. So you get rich, vivid colors without feeling like you're staring into a mirror under sunlight.

Both pack huge 6.83-inch screens, big batteries meant to last all day, and a physical button on the side that flips the screen into a muted reading mode or monochrome e-ink style. If you want serious zoom, the Ultra adds a periscope lens for long-range shots, while the base-model P80 keeps things simple with a super-thin profile.

Pricing and availability

European rollouts kick off Sept. 11, while US carrier and retail launches are still pending, so stateside buyers will have to hold tight a bit longer.

SEE ALSO: TCL just launched two ultra-slim 'art' TVs at IFA — and they are officially chasing Samsung’s crown Tablets: One for your bag, one for your couch

TCL also dropped four new tablets in its TAB A1 Series, split into two sizes. The 11-inch models (TAB A1 and TAB A1 NXTPAPER) are super light and easy to throw in a backpack for quick browsing or reading on a flight.

If you want something bigger to binge TV shows or doodle with a stylus, the 12.2-inch "Plus" models give you way more screen space, smoother scrolling, and a massive 10,000mAh battery so you aren't hunting for an outlet every five minutes.

Pricing and availability

The TAB A1 series is already rolling out globally, with prices hovering around $190 to $299 depending on screen size and configuration.

TVs: Absurdly bright screens and framed art

On the TV front, TCL is pushing Mini LED tech to its absolute limits. The standout TCL X11L comes in massive 75-, 85-, and 98-inch sizes and hits 110,000-nit peak brightness. That is tech-speak for "this TV is bright enough to cut through direct sunlight in your living room while keeping dark scenes ink-black." It even has high-end Bang & Olufsen sound built right in.

For living rooms where a giant black mirror ruins the aesthetic, TCL also introduced the A400 Pro NXTVISION TV. It uses a matte, anti-reflective display wrapped in a light walnut woodgrain frame, allowing it to seamlessly blend into your wall as a digital art display when you aren't binge-watching your favorite shows.

SEE ALSO: Best Labor Day TV deals: Our favorite deals on TCL, LG, Samsung, and more Pricing and availability

The flagship is already rolling out in Europe, and US listings for the X11L are already live, priced between $3,499 (discounted) for the 75-inch screen and $9,999 for the 98-inch model. Meanwhile, TCL has yet to confirm the exact release dates for the art-focused A400 Pro.

If your wallet can handle the hit, your eyes — and your living room setup — are definitely in for an upgrade. Learn more at TCL.

Grabbing packs for less money doesn’t mean there still aren’t valuable chase cards to pull, though. Amongst Pitch Blacks' most pricey cards, the biggest hits still include SIR Mega Darkrai ex, MHR Mega Darkrai ex, and SIR Morpeko ex — worth up to just under $195. 

If you’re after one card in particular, you can buy any single Pokémon card from Pitch Black right now on TCGplayer.
