Best Buy Cyber Monday deals (updated Monday, Nov. 26)

65-inch TCL 6 Series Roku TV, model 65R615: $800 (save $170)

Sarah Tew/CNET

This is most likely the best price you’ll get for TCL’s superb 65R615. This model is exclusive to Best Buy but basically identical to the one we named our favorite TV for the money in 2018. You simply can’t get a picture this good for any less, and the awesome Roku TV operating system is sweet icing on the cake.

According to TCL: “This sale will only be valid today at BestBuy.com and at Best Buy stores across the US until midnight CT online and until stores close, while supplies last.” Boom.

Update: Looks like it’s only available for pick-up now.

Google’s answer to Amazon’s Alexa is a tiny, always-listening speaker that responds to “OK, Google” with everything Google Assistant has to offer. At this price it’s easy to put one in a secondary room.

Although it doesn’t get a big Cyber Monday discount, this is still a great price. 

Take everything we said about the 65-incher and shrink it down to the 55-inch size — this is still the best TV for the money, period. If you want the voice remote, however, that version is available at Amazon for $30 more.

Lenovo 8-inch Smart Display: $100 (save $100)

We’ve tested all of the impressive new Google Assistant smart displays this year — Lenovo’s was the first, and I think it’s still my favorite. Best Buy has the 8-inch version marked down by a hundred bucks, bringing the price down to $99. That’s the same price as the Black Friday deal on the smaller Google Home Hub.
