I've tracked Amazon Prime Day for 11 years. Here are the 8 best early TV deals
I've also spent time looking for deals on Samsung's The Frame TVs, the popular art televisions that turn that black rectangle into a digital picture frame when you're not streaming. Oh, and Prime Day is also a great time to save on the often-pricey OLED sets (some of the best TVs around) to get a discount on their enhanced contrast and heightened color. So, without any further preamble, here are the first eight Amazon deals on TVs and streaming devices worth your time and money.
Samsung 55-Inch The Frame TV (2024)
CNN Underscored editors and readers agree that Samsung's The Frame is the art TV worth checking out, and this $500 early Prime Day discount is a mere $115 shy of its record low.Read our review
Samsung 65-Inch The Frame Pro 4K Neo QLED Smart TV
While Samsung's regular art TV is a popular model, its new The Frame Pro impressed the heck out of me when I spent time with it earlier this year — and right now it's $200 off, matching its best deal I've tracked so far.Read our review
LG 55-Inch Evo C5 OLED TV
LG's latest C-series OLED TV is currently $200 off Amazon's list price (though it's actually $400 off the original MSRP), which is the lowest I've seen the latest of LG's bright OLED TVs. This set impressed us at CES 2025. Act fast, as inventory is running low at Amazon the last I checked.
Insignia 50-Inch Class F50 Series 4K Fire TV
Best Buy's Insignia brand is even getting in on the Prime Day shenanigans, with this 50-inch 4K Fire TV hitting a new low of $170 ($10 lower than it was a couple of days ago), for a whopping 43% off.
Hisense 75-Inch U8N Mini-LED Smart Google TV
This 75-inch version of our favorite midrange TV is currently $200 off — and $158 shy of its all-time low price.Read our review
Panasonic 65-Inch Z85 Series OLED 4K TV
This $802 discount on the first OLED Fire TV is the biggest sale I've seen on this set, which marks Panasonic's return to the US TV market. It's more than twice as much as the biggest previous discount CNN Underscored spotted, which was during Black Friday 2024.Read our review
Sony 65-Inch Bravia 8 II OLED 4K TV
Sony's one of the more beloved OLED TV makers, so I'm happy to see this $500 discount on one of its latest sets. The deal is technically even bigger, because the set was $1,000 more expensive for its first month on sale.
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K
The 4K Fire TV Stick is the streaming device that most people who live within the Amazon (especially Amazon Prime Video) world will probably buy, and right now this 50%-off discount is nearly the best I've ever seen — a mere $3 shy of its record low. All of the products on this list are at or near the lowest prices CNN Underscored has ever seen, using price histories available online, along with our own records. Having hunted deals for this long, I know the difference between a new record low, a price that matches the previous low and one that just comes close. More importantly, these are all current TVs and streaming devices, including models we've gone hands-on with or tested ourselves, from Samsung's The Frame to Amazon's Fire TV Stick 4K.
CNN Underscored comprises a team of writers and editors who have many years of experience testing, researching and recommending products, and they ensure each article is carefully edited and products are properly vetted. Electronics writer Henry T. Casey has been reviewing gadgets for more than a decade and has been tracking deals during Prime Days and Black Fridays on them for just as long. Just last weekend he helped one friend find the best affordable streaming stick for their needs.

McDonald's is adding a Spicy McMuffin to its breakfast lineup
You can find original article here Nrn. Subscribe to our free daily Nrn newsletter. McDonald's 50th anniversary celebration of its signature Egg McMuffin continues with the introduction of a Spicy McMuffin, available starting July 8 at participating restaurants for a limited time. The offering includes melted cheese, an egg, Canadian bacon, and Spicy Pepper Sauce served on a toasted and buttered English Muffin. The summer lineup also includes the Spicy Sausage McMuffin and the Spicy Sausage McMuffin with Egg. According to the company, the popular Egg McMuffin was created by Herb Peterson, a franchisee in Santa Barbara, Calif., who presented the concept to founder Ray Croc in 1971. The idea was to create a portable Eggs Benedict. Breakfast is a priority for McDonald's value platform, as its McValue menu, introduced in January, includes items like the Sausage McMuffin, Sausage Biscuit, Sausage Burrito, and Hash Browns, available for a "Buy One, Add One for $1" deal. During the company's fourth quarter earnings call earlier this year, chief financial officer Ian Borden said breakfast has been a strong daypart for the domestic business. 'It's an area where we're taking share,' he said. During the first quarter earnings call in late April, however, chief executive officer Chris Kempczinski said there has been a decline in frequency during the 'bellwether' breakfast daypart. 'Morning now is a place that you're seeing people are choosing either to skip breakfast or they're choosing to eat at home for breakfast. And I think that's more to explain what's going on in the U.S. versus any kind of segment shift,' he said. The Spicy McMuffin comes on the heels of two other menu launches for McDonald's, a new Blueberry & Crème Pie and a new premium burger called the Daily Double. These launches come as the chain has experienced two rare and consecutive quarters of same-store sales declines and traffic softness. Contact Alicia Kelso at Sign in to access your portfolio

Bitcoin Bulls Should Be Wary of the Dollar Index's Death Cross: Technical Analysis
Bitcoin (BTC) bulls are optimistic that the U.S. dollar's broader sell-off will continue in the second half of the year, fueling the crypto bull run. However, one chart warrants caution when relying on bearish dollar predictions. That's the dollar index's weekly chart, which shows the 50-week simple moving average (SMA) is on track to cross below the 200-week SMA in the near term, forming the notorious death cross. While the ominous-sounding pattern is widely regarded as a long-term bearish signal, historically, it has proven to be a bear trap, consistently marking bottoms and bullish trend reversals in the US dollar. The chart below shows that DXY has chalked out four weekly chart death crosses since 2009, and each of those marked the end of downtrends (marked by vertical lines), setting the stage for sharp rallies. The last one occurred in January 2021, marking the bottom at around 90. The dollar caught the bid in the subsequent months, with the index eventually hitting a high of over 114.00 in September 2022. Note that price patterns do not always unfold as expected, meaning the impending death cross may not necessarily trap bears; however, being aware of its past tendency can help traders manage their positions more effectively. The dollar index, which tracks the greenback's value against major fiat currencies, tanked by 10.78% in the first half of the year, its worst performance since 1991.

Elevance Health Insiders Sold US$6.9m Of Shares Suggesting Hesitancy
Over the past year, many Elevance Health, Inc. (NYSE:ELV) insiders sold a significant stake in the company which may have piqued investors' interest. When evaluating insider transactions, knowing whether insiders are buying is usually more beneficial than knowing whether they are selling, as the latter can be open to many interpretations. However, if numerous insiders are selling, shareholders should investigate more. While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the Executive VP & President of Commercial Health Benefits, Charles Kendrick, sold US$3.2m worth of shares at a price of US$432 per share. That means that an insider was selling shares at around the current price of US$396. While insider selling is a negative, to us, it is more negative if the shares are sold at a lower price. Given that the sale took place at around current prices, it makes us a little cautious but is hardly a major concern. Elevance Health insiders didn't buy any shares over the last year. The chart below shows insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year. If you want to know exactly who sold, for how much, and when, simply click on the graph below! View our latest analysis for Elevance Health If you like to buy stocks that insiders are buying, rather than selling, then you might just love this free list of companies. (Hint: Most of them are flying under the radar). Over the last three months, we've seen significant insider selling at Elevance Health. Specifically, Executive VP & CFO Mark Kaye ditched US$1.9m worth of shares in that time, and we didn't record any purchases whatsoever. In light of this it's hard to argue that all the insiders think that the shares are a bargain. For a common shareholder, it is worth checking how many shares are held by company insiders. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. Elevance Health insiders own 0.1% of the company, currently worth about US$103m based on the recent share price. This kind of significant ownership by insiders does generally increase the chance that the company is run in the interest of all shareholders. An insider hasn't bought Elevance Health stock in the last three months, but there was some selling. And there weren't any purchases to give us comfort, over the last year. The company boasts high insider ownership, but we're a little hesitant, given the history of share sales. So while it's helpful to know what insiders are doing in terms of buying or selling, it's also helpful to know the risks that a particular company is facing. To assist with this, we've discovered 1 warning sign that you should run your eye over to get a better picture of Elevance Health. But note: Elevance Health may not be the best stock to buy. So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies with high ROE and low debt.
