Today's Dealmaster includes a couple good deals on LG's acclaimed CX series of OLED TVs, with the 55-inch model down to $1,350 on Amazon when you clip the on-page coupon. While this isn't the absolute lowest price we've seen for this variant-it dipped about $10 lower in a brief sale last December-it's not far off, and it's about $200 off the typical price we've seen online in recent months.

That's still expensive, and new models will arrive later this year. But those newer sets appear to be relatively modest upgrades, and the current CX is still highly regarded for offering tremendous contrast (which is a staple of all good OLED panels), excellent HDR performance, and HDMI 2.1 support with gamer-friendly features like variable refresh rate. If you prefer a larger size, the 65-inch model is on sale for $1,950, which again isn't the lowest price we've ever seen but is lower than we've seen in recent months. The usual risks of OLED panels still apply-peak brightness isn't the best for bright rooms, and static images can burn-in if left onscreen for severely extended periods-but either way this is a nice price for those in search of a premium TV for the near-term.

Besides that, our deals roundup includes solid discounts on Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite, which we still consider the best e-book reader for most people, Fitbit activity trackers, recommended noise-canceling headphones from Anker and Sony, Ring Fit Adventure for the Nintendo Switch, and much more.
