Best Buy’s Best Black Friday Week Deals on 4K TVs

There are lots of deals this week in the tech world that are outside of the world of PC hardware, and not on Amazon or Newegg. As a case-in-point, in this article, I’ll be highlighting a few promising TV discounts from Best Buy.

The guiding principle I’ve used in selecting these three options is to get a 55″ 4K LCD TV that is well-reviewed (referencing reviews from RTINGS). 55″ is a solid balanced size for many living rooms—large enough to take advantage of the resolution, but not obscenely huge.

Below the list, I’ll go into detail on a few of the important aspects and features to be aware of.

Updates to the Logical Increments Site

We’ve made some small updates to the style of Logical Increments.

If the site looks weird, like if the menu at the top is taking up a ton of space, try clearing your cache and reloading the page.

Hopefully it should be easier to navigate now, especially for new people, and should be easier to use on mobile devices.

We’re also working on more substantial upgrades. We know the site needs to be more mobile friendly, and the main parts table needs some love. (prices automatically up to date, more info displayed, finally??) Coming soon!™

Please email any problems, suggestions, or rants about the new site to contact@logicalincrements.com, or comment below. Thanks!

amazon-us-black-friday-2016

Happy Thanksgiving! Amazon has some great Black Friday deals this year. We searched through all the PC hardware deals to find the best, and they’re all listed in this post.

Expect many more deals every day between now and Cyber Monday. Of course, if you see anything here that you really like, we suggest grabbing it while you can. We do not expect the deals on these particular products to get any lower than this. If you’re looking for some comparisons for your new gaming rig then you might want to check out ProductExpert’s gaming laptop recommendation for India to get some ideas on how to upgrade.

Note: Retailers often like to list a “normal price” that is higher than what they normally sell it for. We have done our best to list the actual normal price for which the product has normally sold.

Have at it!
