Lifehacker’s best tech deals live blog is updated daily with vetted offers on laptops, TVs, speakers, security cameras and more, and right now some of the standout finds are in the large-screen TV category.
The blog, run by shopping editor Daniel Oropeza, uses price-tracking tools to separate deals that are genuinely worth your money from the manufactured urgency that clogs up most sale pages. Bookmark it if you want a running feed of what’s actually worth buying, rather than whatever a retailer’s marketing team decided to badge as a ‘limited time offer’ at 3am.
Best Tech Deals Live Blog: What’s Moving on TVs
Two TV deals in particular have caught attention. According to Lifehacker’s TV deals coverage, the Samsung 85QN80H has dropped to $2,497.99, down from $3,297.99, a saving of $800 on the 2026 model. That’s a meaningful cut on a large-format set, and the kind of price movement that price trackers tend to flag as worth acting on rather than waiting out.
The other one to know about is the 75-inch Toshiba, which has fallen to $899.99 from $1,499.97, nearly $600 off and, according to price trackers, the lowest recorded price for that set. If you’ve been watching a big-screen Toshiba and wondering when to pull the trigger, that context matters. A lowest-ever price is different from a seasonal markdown that will reappear in three months.
Both figures are in US dollars, as Lifehacker publishes for a US audience, so UK shoppers will want to check local equivalents before getting too attached to the numbers.
How the Live Blog Works
The format is straightforward: Oropeza and the Lifehacker team post deals as they find them throughout the day, with the most recent entries at the top. Categories span tech broadly (TVs, headphones, speakers, projectors, laptops) with each deal checked against price history so the team can say with some confidence whether a discount is real or cosmetic.
That price-tracking discipline is the useful bit. Most deal aggregators will list anything a retailer calls a sale; Lifehacker’s stated approach is to filter for offers where the current price is genuinely low relative to what it’s been, not just low relative to an inflated recommended retail price that nobody ever paid.
Alongside the live blog, Lifehacker publishes focused roundups for specific categories. Two running alongside it include a guide to the Samsung and other headphone and earbud deals currently live, and a separate piece covering Best Buy’s 60th anniversary sale, both published on 20 August 2026.
For anyone shopping for a Toshiba or any other large-screen TV, the live blog format has an obvious advantage over static roundups: if a price drops mid-afternoon, it can be in the feed the same day rather than waiting for a weekly update. The trade-off is that pricing and availability can change quickly, so anything flagged as a deal is worth checking at the time you’re ready to buy rather than bookmarking and returning to a week later.
The live blog is updated on an ongoing basis and is free to read; Lifehacker earns commission on purchases made through its links.
