Kohl’s one day Black Friday starts today
Thinking of getting the series three Apple Watch. You can’t use the coupon code but can get about 108 in Kohl’s cash back.

- ND is horrible.
Nothing screams Beta-Male to me like a thin wrist and an Apple Watch.
Now, anyone seeing a great deal for a newish i5 15inch laptop with an SSD?

I'm building my stereo system. Got a good deal on a pair of Martin Logan bookshelf speakers. Waiting to see what deals I can get on a subwoofer.

I was walking through WalMart yesterday cause I needed something specifically from there, and they had big as 4k tv's out for less than 800.
There was a Sharp Aquos, and an LG both 65" both under 800.

Hobby. She has always said she wanted a decent camera so she didn't take all of her pictures with her phone.

Action/arcade games turned into board games is even more stupid, so money I guess.

So are the TV's they launch on Black Friday just low end trash versions that should be avoided?
I'm just wondering if it's not worth the savings if you are getting shit. Some of the bands are good, but I'm wondering if they pack low quality components in a fancy Samsung shell

Somehow missed this.
But I would say there are generally three categories of black friday TVs.
-Old panel tech being pushed out. Good and bad, just apply your best understanding and work your way back.
-New production assemblies with the main purpose of cutting corners on TVs, and doing trial runs with big sales days. You're the beta tester.
-Panels that failed testing at the factory and are repurposed for different models. That could be a 55" now sold as a 47" with portions of the grid cut off and software to work around issues. Or it could be a panel designed for 120Hz but failed and is locked at 60Hz. Stuff like that. A practice known as quality binning. The higher the bin, the better the specs can be driven. What is worrisome for panels and/or the hardware drivers in low bins, is that if they failed at some point, you're way more likely to buy some kind of lemon.
Generally as business practices and methods to fill demands, I have little problem with. It's just when someone buys a Black friday TV in 2017 to replace a 2014 TV, then sometimes even with advertised specs being better, wind up seeing no difference or even a potential downgrade. Of course, all depending on how keen the eyesight is and output source. The bigger concern is that you buy some TV for $300 that seems like it's normally $500. But with some scenarios(and my list of 3 isn't all encompassing, just simplifying for the sake of not typing a bunch of jargon) that $300 TV is actually so junked down that it's real value otherwise without the doorbuster hype might be $200 sensibly shipped on some elec-clonesite/alibaba marketplace(without the brand premium for the 100% exact same product). You get what you pay for, but it really does have some lottery-like elements to whether you truly will find a deal that suits well.

Anyone see any good deals on Xbox One's? Still have a 360 now, not sure if I could sell or trade it in anymore.
