Should you shop July 4th TV deals or wait until Prime Day?
With two major shopping events just around the corner, many potential buyers are wondering whether it's better to take advantage of the initial Fourth of July deals, or wait until Prime Day a few days later. Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing which sale will offer the absolute best prices but it's likely that both will blur into a single massive shopping event that spans multiple days and retailers. With that in mind, we'd lean toward getting your order in sooner rather than later. While there's a slight chance we'll see prices dip a little lower later in the sale, there's a much greater chance that the best bargains will sell out fast. If you see a TV that fits your needs and budget at a good price, we'd recommend grabbing it before it goes out of stock.
Which retailers offer the best July 4th TV deals?
As you might expect, major retailers like Amazon and Best Buy will be offering some excellent deals for the Fourth of July and Prime Day. You'll also want to check out smaller online-only retailers like Adorama and B&H Photo, as they may be offering some under-the-radar bargains that aren't being matched elsewhere.
What else will be on sale for July 4th?
There will be a huge variety of deals that you can shop across retailers for the Fourth of July. These include tons of top tech like TVs and laptops, as well as home goods and big-ticket items like mattresses and major appliances. There will also be plenty of seasonal deals on grills, outdoor gear and other summer essentials. To give you a good idea of what's out there, you can check out our full roundup of all the best Fourth of July deals already available.
How we choose the best July 4th TV deals
At CNET, we've covered shopping events for more than five years, including Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other shopping events. We've become good at weeding out scams and superficial deals so you only get the best offers.
We look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when choosing television deals. We have a team of devoted experts who have tested hundreds of TVs to make sure we're bringing you the best of the best.
Real discounts mean exactly that. We look at the price history for that product to make sure no brands are inflating prices to make the discount seem more substantial than it is.
Quality reviews and testing are important for any product, but especially for TVs. If you're unhappy the first time you turn it on, the discount wasn't worthwhile.
Remaining sale time is a huge part of our vetting process. If a deal seems like it will only be around for a short while or will only be available for the remaining stock, we'll let you know upfront, so you don't come back to the deal later only to be disappointed.

I Asked ChatGPT: Should Retirees Follow Trump's Money Moves or Musk's?
President Trump and Elon Musk took different paths to becoming billionaires. Trump used real estate and leverage as his claim to fame, while Elon Musk started many companies in innovative industries. Be Aware: Learn More: While young professionals can use Trump and Musk as examples for building generational wealth, retirees want to preserve their nest eggs. Trump and Musk may not seem like the best aspirations for retirees who want to play it safe, but I decided to ask ChatGPT. Would the AI robot tell us to steer clear from both of them, or choose a winner between the two of them? Here's what ChatGPT told me. I first asked ChatGPT to list the money moves of President Trump and Elon Musk, starting with Trump. These are the money moves ChatGPT associated with Trump: Leverage real estate: Use debt to buy and build high-profile properties. Trump also licensed his name for some of the properties instead of owning them, which reduced his risk. Leverage debt: He has used debt from various banks to fund large deals while never declaring personal bankruptcy. However, he has declared bankruptcy for some of his businesses. Build a personal brand: Trump built a personal brand for himself before it was mainstream. Doing this made the 'Trump' name very valuable and helped him start 'The Apprentice.' Avoid traditional stock investing: This advice isn't practical for every retiree, but Trump has always preferred real assets over paper assets. Tax optimization: Trump looks for creative ways to save taxes, and real estate gives him a lot of advantages through depreciation and loopholes. Profiting from media exposure: Trump refers to media exposure as free advertising, which helped build his personal brand and lead to new opportunities. I Asked ChatGPT What Will Get More Expensive When Trump's Tariffs Go Into Effect: Shortly after listing President Trump's money moves, ChatGPT went to work listing Musk's money moves. Here's what it came up with: Bet big on yourself: Musk has made aggressive bets into his own companies with his own cash. He continues to pour significant capital into his ventures instead of resting on his laurels. Delay lifestyle inflation: Musk lived modestly for many years after becoming a billionaire, which allowed him to pour more money into his companies. He's also a minimalist. Reinvest instead of diversifying: Musk reinvests profits back into his businesses instead of creating a diverse portfolio. This strategy isn't the best for people who stick with index funds. Solve big problems: If you address big problems, you can make big money. However, retirees may be more focused on preserving their nest eggs. Borrow against assets: If you do not sell your assets, you pay a lot less in taxes. Then, you can pass them on to your heirs with a step-up basis applied. Buy, borrow, die is a popular model for preserving generational wealth. Embrace extreme risk tolerance: This advice isn't good for retirees who want to play it safe, but young professionals shouldn't be afraid of taking risks. However, Musk went on the extreme side and was on the brink of bankruptcy with Tesla, even after selling PayPal for a fortune. Engineer, don't speculate: Musk doesn't day trade or speculate how things will go in the short run. Investors can take this advice and spend time in the market instead of timing the market. ChatGPT said it is 'generally not advisable' to follow the money moves of President Trump or Elon Musk if you are a retiree. Both billionaires have high-risk tolerances and long-term horizons that aren't feasible for retirees. They also have massive personal brands and access to exclusive information that makes them hard to beat. I pushed ChatGPT to make a choice, and while you can tell the machine was reluctant to recommend either one of them, Trump came out as the winner. 'While still high-risk, Trump's focus on real estate income and tax management may offer some adaptable elements for retirees — if done conservatively and with professional support.' ChatGPT didn't offer the same praise for Musk. While the answer would have been different if I had asked ChatGPT if Musk's money moves are good for young professionals, here's what the AI tool said about retirees: 'Musk's approach is designed for those in wealth-building mode, not for those in capital-preservation or income-drawing phases like most retirees.' Trump takes the crown in this battle from the top of one of his skyscrapers, while Musk rides off in a self-driving Tesla accompanied by a fleet of his robotaxis.

Companies keep slashing jobs. How worried should workers be about AI replacing them?
Tech companies that are cutting jobs and leaning more on artificial intelligence are also disrupting themselves. Amazon's Chief Executive Andy Jassy said last month that he expects the e-commerce giant will shrink its workforce as employees 'get efficiency gains from using AI extensively.' At Salesforce, a software company that helps businesses manage customer relationships, Chief Executive Marc Benioff said last week that AI is already doing 30% to 50% of the company's work. Other tech leaders have chimed in before. Earlier this year, Anthropic, an AI startup, flashed a big warning: AI could wipe out more than half of all entry-level white-collar jobs in the next one to five years. Ready or not, AI is reshaping, displacing and creating new roles as technology's impact on the job market ripples across multiple sectors. The AI frenzy has fueled a lot of anxiety from workers who fear their jobs could be automated. Roughly half of U.S. workers are worried about how AI may be used in the workplace in the future and few think AI will lead to more job opportunities in the long run, according to a Pew Research Center report. The heightened fear comes as major tech companies, such as Microsoft, Intel, Amazon and Meta cut workers, push for more efficiency and promote their AI tools. Tech companies have rolled out AI-powered features that can generate code, analyze data, develop apps and help complete other tedious tasks. 'AI isn't just taking jobs. It's really rewriting the rule book on what work even looks like right now,' said Robert Lucido, senior director of strategic advisory at Magnit, a company based in Folsom, Calif., that helps tech giants and other businesses manage contractors, freelancers and other contingent workers. Exactly how big of a disruption AI will have on the job market is still being debated. Executives for OpenAI, the maker of popular chatbot ChatGPT, have pushed back against the prediction that a massive white-collar job bloodbath is coming. 'I do totally get not just the anxiety, but that there is going to be real pain here, in many cases,' said Sam Altman, chief executive of OpenAI, at an interview with "Hard Fork," the tech podcast from the New York Times. 'In many more cases, though, I think we will find that the world is significantly underemployed. The world wants way more code than can get written right now.' As new economic policies, including those around tariffs, create more unease among businesses, companies are reining in costs while also being pickier about whom they hire. 'They're trying to find what we call the purple unicorns rather than someone that they can ramp up and train,' Lucido said. Before the 2022 launch of ChatGPT — a chatbot that can generate text, images, code and more —tech companies were already using AI to curate posts, flag offensive content and power virtual assistants. But the popularity and apparent superpowers of ChatGPT set off a fierce competition among tech companies to release even more powerful generative AI tools. They're racing ahead, spending hundreds of billions of dollars on data centers, facilities that house computing equipment such as servers used to process the trove of information needed to train and maintain AI systems. Economists and consultants have been trying to figure out how AI will affect engineers, lawyers, analysts and other professions. Some say the change won't happen as soon as some tech executives expect. 'There have been many claims about new technologies displacing jobs, and although such displacement has occurred in the past, it tends to take longer than technologists typically expect,' economists for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said in a February report. AI can help develop, test and write code, provide financial advice and sift through legal documents. The bureau, though, still projects that employment of software developers, financial advisors, aerospace engineers and lawyers will grow faster than the average for all occupations from 2023 to 2033. Companies will still need software developers to build AI tools for businesses or maintain AI systems. Tech executives have touted AI's ability to write code. Meta Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg has said that he thinks AI will be able to write code like a mid-level engineer in 2025. And Microsoft Chief Executive Satya Nadella has said that as much as 30% of the company's code is written by AI. Other roles could grow more slowly or shrink because of AI. The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects employment of paralegals and legal assistants to grow slower than the average for all occupations while roles for credit analysts, claims adjusters and insurance appraisers to decrease. McKinsey Global Institute, the business and economics research arm of the global management consulting firm McKinsey & Co., predicts that by 2030 'activities that account for up to 30 percent of hours currently worked across the US economy could be automated.' The institute expects that demand for science, technology, engineering and mathematics roles will grow in the United States and Europe but shrink for customer service and office support. 'A large part of that work involves skills, which are routine, predictable and can be easily done by machines,' said Anu Madgavkar, a partner with the McKinsey Global Institute. Although generative AI fuels the potential for automation to eliminate jobs, AI can also enhance technical, creative, legal and business roles, the report said. There will be a lot of 'noise and volatility' in hiring data, Madgavkar said, but what will separate the 'winners and losers' is how people rethink their work flows and jobs themselves. Tech companies have announced 74,716 cuts from January to May, up 35% from the same period last year, according to a report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas, a firm that offers job search and career transition coaching. Read more: AI a job killer? In California it's complicated Tech companies say they're slashing jobs for various reasons. Autodesk, which makes software used by architects, designers and engineers, slashed 9% of its workforce, or 1,350 positions, this year. The San Francisco company cited geopolitical and macroeconomic factors along with its efforts to invest more heavily in AI as reasons for the cuts, according to a regulatory filing. Other companies such as Oakland fintech company Block, which slashed 8% of its workforce in March, told employees that the cuts were strategic not because they're 'replacing folks with AI.' Diana Colella, executive vice president, entertainment and media solutions at Autodesk, said that it's scary when people don't know what their job will look like in a year. Still, she doesn't think AI will replace humans or creativity but rather act as an assistant. Companies are looking for more AI expertise. Autodesk found that mentions of AI in U.S. job listings surged in 2025 and some of the fastest-growing roles include AI engineer, AI content creator and AI solutions architect. The company partnered with analytics firm GlobalData to examine nearly 3 million job postings over two years across industries such as architecture, engineering and entertainment. Workers have adapted to technology before. When the job of a door-to-door encyclopedia salesman was disrupted because of the rise of online search, those workers pivoted to selling other products, Colella said. 'The skills are still key and important,' she said. 'They just might be used for a different product or a different service.'
