Sony reveals Project Defiant arcade fighting stick
Sony has a new PlayStation-branded arcade-style fight stick coming soon. The controller, dubbed Project Defiant, was just announced during the June 2025 State of Play showcase.
It should pair nicely with some of the best fighting games on PS5 as well as the recently announced Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection and the Arc System Works fighting game Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls.
The teaser only showed the stick, but more details were revealed in a subsequent PlayStation blog post. There Sony revealed that the controller can wirelessly connect to a PS5 or PC using PlayStation Link technology, though you can optionally plug it in via a USB-C cable.
According to Sony, the Link allows for "ultra-low latency" with the aim of facilitating precise responses when pressing buttons or moving the stick.
The Project Defiant fight stick is "custom designed" by Sony and features at least eight buttons with mechanical switches. It's a digital stick, so you can move it orthogonally but not freely in any direction.
There is also a touchpad similar to the one on the DualSense controller and interchangeable restrictor gates. The controller will also come with a carrying case that includes a lever gap to keep the stick safe.
Sony did not share a release date beyond 2026 instead saying that more details would come in the "months ahead." Those details will include the actual device name and eventually the launch date. But we'll have to wait and try one for ourselves to see if it's one of the best fight sticks for PS5.

Plan an epic Independence Day movie marathon with these TVs and projectors
Whether hosting a backyard cookout or enjoying some quiet time with family, the long holiday weekend offers the perfect opportunity to indulge in classic Independence Day-themed movies that capture the essence of freedom, bravery and patriotism. If you plan to enjoy high-definition movies this Independence Day weekend, upgrading to a new TV or projector for indoor or outdoor use can significantly enhance your viewing experience. Planning an outdoor movie night for the long holiday weekend? We've got you covered with our full guide here. Original price: $1,396.99 If you're seeking top-tier picture quality and immersive viewing, the LG OLED evo AI C5 smart 4K TV is an excellent choice. It offers vibrant colors and deep blacks, making it ideal for cinematic appearances. Sony BRAVIA XR A95L QD-OLED 4K HDR Google TV is an excellent choice. It delivers exceptional contrast and color accuracy, perfect for a theater-like experience at home. The TCL Q6-Series 4K UHD Smart TV with Google provides great value, so you don't have to choose between a user-friendly interface and solid picture quality. It comes in 55-inch, 65-inch and 75-inch iterations. Original price: $249.99 The Roku Smart TV 43-inch Select Series 4K HDR is known for its brilliant picture and straightforward streaming capabilities. With features like fast Wi-Fi connectivity and apps that launch in seconds, streaming has never been easier. The Vankyo Leisure 470 features a built-in Roku Express, giving you access to apps without the need for a streaming stick. It supports screen sizes from 39 to 200 inches, has a brightness of 120 lumens and comes with a built-in speaker. Original price: $1,699.99 The XGIMI Horizon Pro 4K Projector offers 4K resolution for an incredibly crisp and detailed image. It is easy to set up and features standout capabilities, including built-in studio sound, autofocus and auto-keystone correction, which corrects distorted images. Original price: $899.99 The Epson EpiqVision Mini series has excellent picture quality and brightness that can project a picture up to 150 inches. The projector includes Google TV with access to streaming apps from the Google Play Store, including Netflix and Disney plus. This sci-fi blockbuster stars Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman as they lead a fight against a massive alien invasion. With its thrilling action sequences and memorable presidential speech, the aptly-named Independence Day has become a staple of July 4th movie marathons. As with any great film, there's a sequel, so be sure to check out Independence Day: Resurgence. Don't forget to grab this fleece American Flag throw before you cozy up on the couch and hit play. Set during the American Revolutionary War, this historical drama features Mel Gibson as Benjamin Martin, a peaceful farmer who becomes a reluctant war hero after his family is threatened. The film combines personal sacrifice with the broader struggle for independence. Add We Were Soldiers and Saving Private Ryan to your watch list if you're a war movie buff. While you may remember to pick up that post-cookout s'mores kit, don't get caught on the couch without the movie night essential: a gourmet popcorn kit. In Top Gun, Tom Cruise (who famously does all his own stunts) stars as Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell, a daring naval aviator training at the elite Top Gun school. It captures the thrill of aerial combat and the camaraderie among pilots, making it an exhilarating watch for Independence Day. You can also enjoy the 2022 sequel Top Gun: Maverick, starring Cruise again. Another patriotic Tom Cruise flick, this biographical drama tells the story of Ron Kovic, a Vietnam War veteran who becomes an anti-war activist. Directed by the legendary Oliver Stone, the film explores patriotism, sacrifice, the complexities of war and a sobering reflection on the true cost of freedom. If you like this type of film, you might also enjoy Robin Williams in Good Morning, Vietnam, as a comical but controversial radio DJ during the Vietnam War. Harrison Ford portrays the President in this action-packed thriller from 1997, where the plot centers around terrorists hijacking Air Force One. If you like a film that combines suspense with a strong sense of duty and leadership, consider Clint Eastwood in In the Line of Fire, which streams free on Tubi. This musical adaptation of the Broadway play brings to life the events leading up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. With its engaging songs and historical context, 1776 offers an entertaining way to learn about America's founding. In that same vein, also consider streaming Hamilton on Hulu. In this heartwarming tale, Tom Hanks stars as Forrest Gump, a man with a low IQ who unwittingly plays a role in numerous significant 20th-century historical events. If you're a Hulu subscriber, the movie will start streaming there on July 1st. If you want to get inspired, consider the 1989 flick Field of Dreams. Glory is a powerful Civil War drama that tells the true story of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, the first African-American unit in the Union Army. Led by Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, played by Matthew Broderick, and featuring an Oscar-winning performance by Denzel Washington, the film delves into the bravery and struggles of the soldiers as they fight the Confederacy and prejudice within their ranks. You might also consider Gettysburg, but only if you've got some time on your hands. This extended version runs four hours and 30 minutes. In National Treasure, Nicolas Cage stars as a historian and treasure hunter who embarks on a quest to uncover a hidden trove linked to America's founding fathers. The adventure takes a thrilling turn when Gates steals the Declaration of Independence to protect it from falling into the wrong hands. If action is your thing, prove which side of the Die Hard debate you're on and watch it on the 4th of July instead of Christmas. For more deals, visit Marvel's Captain America: The First Avenger introduces audiences to Steve Rogers, a determined young man who transforms into a super-soldier during World War II. As he battles the villainous Red Skull and the HYDRA organization, Rogers embodies the ideals of courage and earns the title of Captain America. Make it a superhero movie marathon and stream Captain America: Brave New World.

I've been testing TVs for 8 years — and the LG G5 OLED actually wowed me
Price: $3,400Screen size: 65 inchesModel: OLED65G5WUAResolution: 3,840 x 2,160HDR: Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLGRefresh rate: 120Hz native, 165Hz VRRPorts: 4 HDMI 2.1, 3 USBAudio: N/ASmart TV software: webOS 25Size (without stand): 56.7x32.5x1 inchesWeight (without stand): 48.5 pounds After more than eight years of testing TVs, I don't get wowed by them very often anymore. But every once in a while, one manages it, and the LG G5 OLED is just such a TV. LG's top-of-the-line OLED excels in every area, with an eye-catching, dynamic picture in every situation, and enough new technologies both inside and out to make everything you watch look as good as it can possibly be. At its launch price of $3,200 for a 65-inch model, though, the G5 is $1,000 more than the superb LG C5 OLED, and the competition from Samsung and Sony is fierce enough that the G5 doesn't always fully justify its sky-high price. Still, this is an exquisite OLED, as well as one of the best TVs you can buy for folks who want a premium design to match LG's top-notch picture quality. The G5 is the latest TV in LG's flagship line of OLED sets, slotting in above the upper-midrange C5 and the lower-midrange B5, both of which are currently available. The M5, essentially a version of the G5 designed for entirely wireless use, is likely to be released later this year. The five size variants of the G5 include: We evaluated the 65-inch model, but because the 55-, 77-, and 83-inch versions all use the same technologies, we would expect them to be comparable as far as overall picture performance. The only substantial differences arise with the 97-inch G5. It uses Brightness Booster Max instead of Ultimate (see below for more on this), and the lack of faster Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support means you're limited to a refresh rate of 120Hz. Otherwise, the TVs should all be similar, regardless of size. You would expect that the G5, being a high-end TV, would have a high-end look — and you would be correct. Unlike the C5, which more resembles a traditional OLED in its no-nonsense design and ultrathin screen, the G5 boasts another layer or two of sparkle in its design. The most obvious enhancement is that its substantially thicker screen (just past half an inch) is framed on all sides with a gleaming silver band that catches your eye from everywhere in the room. When looking at the set from the front, the only other visible adornment is the orange power light. Located on the underside of the power light's housing are a switch for activating or deactivating the integrated far-field microphone, and a hardware button you can push to turn the TV on and off or access Inputs, Volume, and Channel functions. The other key difference between the G5 and LG's lower-end sets is that this one does not come with a stand. (This was true of the G3 OLED two years ago, too, but not last year's G4 OLED.) LG provided an excellent stand (an ST-G4SN65) for the purposes of our review, but you'll have to buy your own if you want the TV on top of an entertainment center or other flat surface. No, the G5 is intended for wall mounting. It ships with a special wall bracket designed to fit into the large depression on the rear panel, and thus make it possible for the TV to lay nearly flat against the wall, as though it were a painting. It's not alone in this aesthetic, as both the Hisense Canvas and Samsung The Frame are also engineered to provide this gallery-style design. As a result of this, the port layout is slightly unusual, with the majority (a coaxial cable connector, Ethernet, two HDMI ports, and two USB ports) near the center of the TV's back and facing downward and hidable beyond a snap-on plastic panel. Three more ports intended for regular use (two HDMI, with one the eARC port, and one USB) are recessed in about 5 inches from the TV's left edge and face outward. All four HDMI ports support the newer and more powerful HDMI 2.1 specification that offers Auto Low Latency-Mode (ALLM) and the aforementioned VRR, which is capable of refresh rates as fast as 165Hz. HDMI 2.2 is right around the corner, but for now, this port selection is as good as it gets in 2025. We follow a standard testing protocol for every TV we review at Tom's Guide. Our benchmarks include a series of technical and subjective tests designed to rate the set's performance. For our technical tests, we set the TV to Filmmaker Mode (usually the most accurate out of the box) and take measurements using a Jeti spectraval 1501-HiRes spectroradiometer, a Klein K10-A colorimeter, a Murideo 8K-SIX-G Metal pattern generator, and Portrait Displays's Calman TV-calibration software. We also use a Leo Bodnar 4K Input Lag Tester for determining the TV's gaming prowess. Subjective tests vary based on the reviewer but usually include anecdotes from a diverse selection of movies, TV shows, and other content reflecting the types of things you may actually want to watch on the TV. For a more detailed look at what we do and how we do it, check out our 'How we test TVs' page. Though QD-OLED TVs have stolen most of the headlines the last couple of years with their combination of quantum-dot color and brightness with the perfect black and infinite contrast of OLEDs, LG's new Four-Stack OLEDs can still rock your world. Because the G5 gets so bright (see below), something LG attributes to its Brightness Booster Ultimate technology, it has no trouble pointing up even fine light details in the darkest scenes, while also supercharging color. The results are astonishing with anything. I was especially thrilled by the roller-coaster contrast in movies like Oppenheimer and Dune: Part Two, which thrive on scenes of either pure black and white or more monochromatic color palettes. The G5 made them look nearly as vivid as they did in the theater. There is nothing to criticize about movies on the (literal) opposite end of the spectrum, either. Films like Barbie, Wicked, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie, all four of which may as well feature eye-detonating color as a main character, looked stunning on the G5. As with all OLEDs, the G5's picture doesn't lose a whit of its distinctiveness or colors their saturation from any seat in the house. And though I haven't experienced crippling glare problems with LG's previous G-series sets, the new antiglare coating on the G5's screen (which has earned the TV a UL Glare Free certification) eliminates what little problem was left. LG G5 LG C5 LG G4 Samsung S95F SDR Brightness (10%, in nits) 465 335 358 268 Delta-E (lower is better) 1.99 1.25 1.4 1.19 Rec. 709 Gamut Coverage 99.69% 99.67% 98.55% 106.88% HDR Brightness (10%, in nits) 2,296 1165 1488 2,138 UHDA-P3 Gamut Coverage 99.79% 99.45% 97.29% 99.97% Rec. 2020 Gamut Coverage 82.42% 76.18% 72.91% 90.26% Input Lag (ms) 12.9/9.2 (Boost) 12.9/9.1 (Boost) 12.9/9.2 (Boost) 9.5 Our technical tests backed up what my eyes were already telling me. For an OLED, the G5 gets dazzlingly bright with both SDR (465 nits) and HDR (2,296) content, putting it not only on equal footing with the Samsung S95F OLED (2,138 nits), but within spitting distance of a lot of LED-based sets. (As an interesting point of comparison, the G5 proved more than 800 nits brighter with an HDR signal than its predecessor, the G4 — a truly impressive generational leap.) We measured its Delta-E (a value representing the difference between a color at the source and as displayed on the screen, with lower numbers being better) as 1.99, and its coverage of the Rec. 709 (SDR) color gamut as 99.69%, and its HDR performance in coverage of the UHDA-P3 gamut as 99.79 and the Rec. 2020 gamut as 82.42. In every case, this is outstanding, if never quite category leading. The similarly priced S95F, and even some lower-cost sets like the Samsung S90F and LG's own C5, for example, had marginally more accurate colors, and both Samsungs covered noticeably more of the Rec. 2020 gamut. Audio on the G5 is fine. It never stood out as either a detriment or a boon while watching movies or series, and when just playing music it was in no way offensive with either low basses or high trebles. The 4.2-channel, downward-firing speaker system, complete with Dolby Atmos, is unquestionably good enough for the purpose of everyday TV watching. But not much more than that. In order to get the TV to sound as good as it looks, however, you will definitely want to add one of Tom's Guide's best soundbars. LG's higher-end TVs have long been good for gaming, and the G5 is surprisingly no exception. As measured with our Leo Bodnar 4K Input Lag Tester, the G5 registered an outstanding 9.2ms of lag when the Game Optimizer boost function was enabled, and a still-strong 12.9ms with it off. This puts the G5 in the first rank of gaming sets, right alongside the best gaming TV, the LG C5 OLED. There are plenty of gaming features, too, including Dark Room Mode and Multi View, which are accessible through the Game Optimizer menu (when you're in that mode) and a pop-up game bar you can raise while you're playing a title. The G5 also supports AMD FreeSync Premium and is Nvidia G-Sync compatible. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle played beautifully and looked absolutely amazing on the G5, with the G5's superb contrast and brightness handling accentuating every nook and cranny of the water-hewn caverns and dank secret passages that provide so much of the game's rich, satisfying atmosphere. LG has not abandoned its proprietary webOS operating system — and why should it when it's one of the best you can find on a TV? The easy-to-navigate home screen is divided up into rows, with an advertising carousel at the top, a row of rectangular cards that group various functions such as sports or gaming, a highly customizable app bar, then below that a row showing content from your recent inputs and offerings from the LG Channels streaming service. It shouldn't be hard to find something to watch from the home screen, but you can also view video from your mobile device with Google Cast or Apple AirPlay or watch live broadcasts on the integrated ATSC 1.0 tuner. (Due to an ongoing licensing dispute, there is no ATSC 3.0 tuner, which would allow for over-the-air 4K broadcasts. This is common in recent TVs, but it's still a shame that it's not included here.) AI features comprise a voice search option that, as far as I can tell, is functionally identical to the previous, non-AI version (and works just fine from either the remote or the far-field microphone), and a 'concierge' that makes additional viewing suggestions based on your interests and watch history. I was not bowled over by these, but they are there if you want to take advantage of them. Amazon Alexa is also supported, in case you have a smart home full of Amazon's Echo devices. Like all LG's TVs beginning this generation, the G5 ships with a thoroughly redesigned Magic Remote that retains much of the (controversial) original's functionality in a more streamlined package. It still can be used like an on-screen mouse by waving it (that's the 'magic' part), and the select button in the center of the directional control is still a scroll wheel for some reason. But in addition to losing the antiquated number keys and color buttons, LG has also dumped some I would consider essential (Inputs, which you now must access via the Home Hub button, and Mute) and renamed or added others that may be of limited use ('AI'). This new Magic Remote is more in line with Sony's and Samsung's recent redesigns, and its new matte, candy-bar design is more traditional than the previous glossy, ergonomic one. These changes won't be for everyone, though the overall offering is a functional one. The big question with the LG G5 isn't whether it's a good TV, or even whether it's a great one. Each of those questions merits an emphatic 'yes.' What really needs to be asked instead is: Is it worth the money? If you have the money budgeted for a high-ticket home entertainment purchase, that's also a firm yes. The big advantage the G5 has over the C5 and its other competitors is its incredible brightness. But that's a bit of a matter of diminishing returns past a certain point. And as much as I loved everything I viewed on the G5, the fact remains that the C5 — despite being not as bright on paper — looked almost as good, and it costs nearly $1,000 less. Some other sets, like the Samsung S90F (which costs about the same as the C5), even edge out the G5 in other ways. Good as the LG G5 is, it's not quite an undisputed king. I still think this is one of the best TVs you can buy, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a premium design that matches that G5's excellent picture performance. If you can live without the gallery-esque aesthetic, however, the more affordable C5 is still my go-to pick in 2025.

Best Buy is starting off the week by launching its annual 4th of July sale today. If you're searching for the best deals on electronics and gadgets, then this is the savings event for you, as the retailer marks down the latest tech from Sony, Razer, Samsung and more. I'm ready to put my near-decades' worth of deals-hunting experience to work finding all the retailer's best deals. Ahead of the long weekend, there's more to save on than just the kind of deals you'd expect from Best Buy. This year's early price cuts include everything from CNN Underscored's top-tested TV brands and gaming PCs to patio gadgets like grills and pizza ovens, Samsung appliances and so much more.

Sony WF-1000XM5 ANC Earbuds I've tried hundreds of earbuds over my decade of writing about consumer electronics, and Sony has consistently made some of the best. Its newest pair, the XM5, are editor-favorite earbuds that offer immersive and customizable sound as well as high-quality noise cancellation and plenty of battery life. I recommend these as the next best thing to AirPods for Android users or just notable platform-agnostic buds that are even better at $50 our review HP 14-Inch OmniBook 5 Flip 2-in-1 Laptop This 2-in-1 laptop can be used to type up notes and reply to emails in its standard configuration, only to switch over to tablet mode with its 14-inch touchscreen display. Save $250 as part of this summer sale at Best Buy. Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL Wired Gaming Keyboard in White This may not have made the cut when my colleagues tested the best mechanical keyboards, but with a discount like this, Razer's Huntsman V3 Pro is as good as it gets if you're shopping for a keyboard with all the bells and whistles. Score the best price of the year at $50 off the white color to take your gaming setup to the next level. Asus 14-Inch Vivobook 14 Laptop Take $100 off this 14-inch Asus laptop while it has returned to its best price in 2025.

Sony Ult Field 1 The lowest price Best Buy has ever offered on this Bluetooth speaker is live ahead of the 4th of July. We appreciated its reasonable price, portability and 360-degree sound. Snag it in four on-sale colors for $40 off and bring some noise to your backyard gatherings this weekend and beyond. GoPro Hero 12 Action Camera This may be an older action camera from GoPro, but it's more than capable of taking photos and videos of upcoming hikes. I have one of these in my own personal travel kit and love how reliable it has been for everything from shooting timelapses to underwater videos. Philips Hue Indoor 10-Foot Smart LED Lightstrip Kit Philips Hue's basic light strip is down to the second-best price of the year in time for you to add some accent lighting behind a shelf or underneath kitchen cabinets. I have a couple of these in my apartment and love the adjustable colors and lighting temperatures that it can cast out for some extra ambiance. Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum Take 50% off this cordless stick vacuum while it is down to the best price I have ever tracked. It can tackle pet hair on top of handling typical debris like crumbs, dirt and dust — all with a cordless design that's powered by a built-in battery. Traeger Grills Pro 22 Pellet Grill and Smoker Traeger quickly won over CNN Underscored editors when we tested out the best grills. This discounted model has the same reputation as our best-tested pick but with a smaller cooking surface that's perfect for compact patio setups. It's also matching its lowest price to date and ships just in time for a last-minute addition to your holiday weekend barbecue. Greenworks 80V 21-Inch Electric Lawn Mower Combo Kit This electric lawn tool combo kit has just dropped to the best price I've ever tracked. At 50% off, you'll be able to bring an electric lawn mower with an 80V battery and a 21-inch cutting deck to your tool shed, complete with an electric string trimmer and leaf blower. iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max Robot Vacuum and Mop A whopping $800 off, this robotic vacuum and mop from iRobot is one of the best values I've tracked at Best Buy as part of its 4th of July sale. Once this autonomous cleaning robot is done with its mission, it will return to the bundled charging and auto-empty dock. Samsung Stackable Smart Front-Load Washer Samsung's Super Speed Wash tech and smart features help streamline laundry day at nearly $300 off the usual price tag. Today's offer is the second-best discount of the year and the lowest in nearly two months. Samsung 27-Cubic-Foot 3-Door French Door Smart Refrigerator This spatial kitchen appliance wowed our editor when CNN Underscored previously took a look at the higher-end version of this Samsung Bespoke refrigerator. This one that has dropped in price today at Best Buy shares many of the same features as our editor-approved pick, but mostly nixes some fancier additions to offer the same refrigeration tech for less. Dyson V15 Detect Extra Cordless Vacuum This is one of the most capable vacuums in Dyson's stable, which means it's one of the very best cordless stick vacuums on the market — period. The V15 comes equipped with laser lighting tech to reveal the dust on your hardwood floors for ensuring you get each and every particle up. Electrolux Stackable Front-Load Washer with Stackable Electric Dryer Save an extra $300 by bundling this pair of laundry essentials together. The complete package, including the stackable front-load washer and its dryer counterpart, is a total of $830 off the going rate, thanks to the extra savings in the Best Buy Independence Day sale. Sony 65-Inch Bravia 8 OLED 4K Smart Google TV If you're looking to bring an OLED TV to your home theater, look no further than Sony's Bravia lineup. This 65-inch version is one of the best televisions in its class, so much so that I've been eyeing this exact television for a few months now. It's $700 off the usual price tag and comes within $100 of the 2025 low. Samsung 55-Inch The Frame TV (2024) Ask CNN Underscored editors or our readers, and you'll get the same result: We love this TV. Samsung's The Frame won us over year after year with a design that's closer to a picture frame than your typical TV. Save $500 and take advantage of the best offer in our review LG 65-Inch C4 Evo OLED TV If the Sony Bravia TV that I already highlighted was too pricey for your home theater needs, the LG OLED is my next best recommendation. The C4 is LG's previous-generation flagship, and that means you can score its best price of the year at $300 off. Read our review Samsung B-series 3.1-Channel DTS Virtual:X Soundbar There's no excuse to keep using your TV's built-in speakers. Odds are, you're having a difficult time understanding dialogue or having to constantly adjust the volume to balance out the audio. But not anymore. This affordable soundbar includes a wireless subwoofer for added bass to help round out movie nights with the kind of booming sound you'd find at the actual theater. Samsung 77-Inch S84D 4K OLED TV If you've been scrolling through this list waiting to see the largest television that's on sale, you've made it to the right place. This massive 77-inch OLED TV is matching its best price of the year thanks to this $200-off discount ahead of the holiday weekend. CNN Underscored's deals experts are always shopping for the best discounts online. Outside of holiday weekends, we cover weekly guides to the steepest price cuts from specific retailers. These early 4th of July deals are worth a closer look now, considering many items are down to their lowest prices of the year, even beating previous discounts I've covered. I'm constantly tracking price cuts across multiple online storefronts to ensure the deals are as good as the retailers say. The rest of the deals team and I dive into each product's price history while cross-referencing reviews and guides from other CNN Underscored editors to determine if it's worth your cash. Quite simply, our goal here at CNN Underscored is to save you money. Our senior deals editor Rikka Altland has been doing just that for nearly a decade, and that kind of experience extends to the rest of our deals team. Being an advocate for buyers to make sure we're only recommending the best prices on the best products is what we're all about, and that focus comes across in our work.
