Sync your lights to your TV and audio with Govee’s TV Backlight 3 Lite kit at new $100 low (Reg. $150), more

$100
Reinette LeJeune -

Update 11/13: Govee has dropped the price further on its TV Backlight 3 Lite Kit to a new all-time low of $99.99 shipped.

The official Govee Amazon storefront is offering its TV Backlight 3 Lite Kit for $114.99 shipped, after clipping the on-page $35 off coupon. Normally fetching $150, we’ve seen quite a few discounts since it first released back in May, with most that have occurred dropping costs down to $120, though we did spy it at the $105 low in June for a short period. Both of this year’s Prime Day events only returned the price to $120, but today you can score this package at the second-lowest price we have tracked – just $10 above the all-time low. This rate even beats Govee’s website where it’s been discounted to $120.

Just as I have said before, there’s nothing quite like a brand new shiny 2024 smart TV, but the value on the still perfectly capable 2023 models are enticing to say the least. A great example of this is the deal we are tracking at Amazon for the TCL 85-inch QM8 QLED 4K Smart mini-LED Google TV down at $1,399.99 shipped. First released last spring, it landed with a $2,500 sticker and is now a whole lot less than that.

You’re paying $1,100 les today than you would’ve last spring. That’s a serious deal and a great price for a sizable 85-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

Reg. $950+ $800

Best Buy is now offering the 2022 model Hisense 85-inch Class A7 Series 85A76H LED 4K UHD Google TV for $799.99 shipped.

While it might not be a brand new 2023 model, nor all of the highest-end specs, but this is a whole lot of 4K TV from a trusted brand for a price like this – a mid-tier, previous-generation Amazon 75-inch model sells for $860 on sale. This is a 4K display running on the Google TV platform with direct access to your streaming services and Assistant voice command action via the included voice remote. From there, you’ll find a Game Mode Plus – a “collection of technologies that come together to create a dynamic gaming experience” – as well as VRR support, built-in Chromecast streaming tech, Bluetooth, and four HDMI inputs.

$1,825 off From $900

While the TCL S4 model might not have all of the bells and whistles as the more pricey options, it is a notable price for an oversized 2023 display that delivers 85-inches of 4K action to a living room near you. Amazon is now offering the TCL 85-inch S4 4K UHD Smart Google TV for $899.99 shipped, down from the regular $1,400 price tag. Today’s deal is not only the best price we can find. Today’s offer is $100 under the deal we featured earlier this year, matching our previous mention, and coming within $2 of the Amazon all-time low. It’s not the most feature-rich option out there, but if you’re looking for some serious size without spending around $1,500 (or potentially a whole lot more than that), it will deliver a solid 4K (2160p) panel with Dolby Vision, HDR 10, and Hybrid Log-Gamma to your setup at a reasonable price for a display this large. It also features Google Assistant voice command action, Chromecast streaming, three HDMI inputs, and Google’s TV ecosystem for direct access to apps and your streaming services.
