I just stumbled on one of the lowest OLED TVs available for Prime Day — under $1,000
Prime Day TV deals are fast approaching their end date, so if there ever was a time to get in and get your savings, it's now. You don't have long before all the best deals are taken, and I stumbled on this fantastic discount on a 2024 OLED TV. Right now, you can get the 55-inch Panasonic Z85A OLED TV for $799 on Amazon. That's a major price cut, bringing down this fantastic OLED to well under $1,000, making it even cheaper than the LG B4 OLED TV. And, if you want something a bit more expensive, I've also included the flagship Panasonic OLED from last year as well. The 65-inch Panasonic Z95A OLED TV is $1,997 on Amazon, and these are the best deals on Panasonic OLEDs you can get right now. Panasonic TVs are making a comeback in the U.S. Built around Panasonic's HCX Pro AI Processor MKII, its new OLED TV offers support for HDR10/HDR10+/Dolby Vision/HLG and HLG, as well as Dolby Atmos audio. On the gaming front, you get a 120Hz panel with VRR, AMD FreeSync Premium, and NVIDIA G-Sync support. It comes in 55- and 65-inch size options. The Z95A is Panasonic's premium OLED TV. In our Panasonic Z95 OLED TV review, we called the Editor's Choice TV an absolute beast, boasting some of the most advanced features of any TV currently available. It's built on LG Display's second-gen MLA panel, which ensures it has a vast and vibrant brightness potential. It also comes equipped with a 144Hz refresh rate and a range of gaming features, including HDMI 2.1, VRR, AMD FreeSync Premium, and NVIDIA G-Sync support. It also supports all HDR formats and comes with hands-free Alexa compatibility. I've been tracking all the best Prime Day TV deals and stumbled upon this amazing deal on one of the cheapest OLEDs I've seen. Of course, it's not a 2025 model, but the Panasonic Z85A still looks utterly fantastic and has a lot going for it in terms of features. Just like its closest competitor in the LG B4 OLED, it's equipped with a 120Hz refresh rate, plus it has a full array of HDMI 2.1 ports. But, even if you don't have a PC on hand, it still has cloud gaming services like Xbox Game Pass and GeForce Now through Fire TV. You can also expect the range of HDR formats, including HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, to give all your entertainment the extra crispness. It's also one of the few OLED TVs you can buy right now that has an ATSC 3.0 tuner, netting you access to NextGen TV and 4K broadcasts. I've seen both the Z85A OLED TV in person and can attest to its brilliance as one of the best TVs on the market. Still, I will admit I have several pain points with Fire TV myself, but if you're looking for an OLED with exceptional picture performance coupled with a great sound system, this is the one to get. Of course, you could always go bigger with the Panasonic Z95A OLED TV, which I've given more than enough praise over the last year. But even that is a little expensive, even in the heat of the Prime Day sales event. If you're looking for even more deals on all of the best tech we can find, check out our Prime Day blog to get yourself those last-minute savings.

Zacks Industry Outlook Highlights LG Display, Immersion and TransAct
Chicago, IL – July 9, 2025 – Today, Zacks Equity Research discusses LG Display LPL, Immersion IMMR and TransAct Technologies TACT. Industry: Computer Equipment Link: The Zacks Computer-Peripheral Equipment industry players like LG Display, Immersion and TransAct Technologies are well-poised to benefit from the growing demand for professional gaming accessories, touchscreen and wireless devices, smart glasses and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) solutions. A continuously improving shipment of personal computers (PCs) bodes well for PC peripheral market prospects. Moreover, the solid demand for 3D-printed health equipment like face shields, nasal swabs and ventilator parts has been a tailwind. However, the industry has been suffering from macroeconomic headwinds, including inflationary pressures and high interest rates. These have induced sluggishness in IT spending, affecting the demand for computer peripherals. Moreover, the near-term prospects of the PC industry seem highly volatile, given an uncertain environment triggered by the U.S. government's new tariff policies. The Zacks Computer-Peripheral Equipment industry comprises companies offering computer input, output and storage devices. These include keyboards, mice, LCD panels, smart glass, analog-to-digital imaging solutions, touch sensors, 3D printers & additive manufacturing and transaction-based printer products, among others. Moreover, video gaming accessories, including gaming mice, wired gaming headsets, in-ear gaming headphones and controllers for Xbox One and PlayStation, are offered by these companies. The highly competitive nature of the industry is encouraging participants to come up with innovative and relevant products to meet the current demand trend. This is strengthening their product portfolios. The gradual shift in consumer preference from mobile gaming to a more professional gaming experience is a major growth driver. The launch of advanced gaming devices and the rising popularity of e-sports leagues are expected to boost prospects. E-sports is also likely to continue aiding the total addressable market in the gaming peripherals industry. In addition, the 3D printing market presents a favorable long-term investment opportunity as a large number of engineers, designers, architects and entrepreneurs are resorting to 3D solutions for primary designing and product modeling. Also, the growing usage of advanced 3D technologies across multiple industries, including medical, aerospace and automotive, is a major driving force for this industry. The expansion of the total addressable market bodes well for the industry participants. Deepening penetration into price-sensitive regions like the Asia Pacific and the Middle East & Africa through low-cost quality products boosts growth prospects. An improvement in commercial PC demand is likely to aid the computer peripherals industry's prospects in the near term. Acceleration in PC refresh ahead of the end of Microsoft's Windows 10 support in October 2025 and rising interest in PCs equipped with on-device AI capabilities are likely to drive demand for commercial PCs. This will provide further growth momentum to the computer peripherals equipment industry, as PCs are the main sales booster for companies in this space. Still-high interest rates and protracted inflationary conditions are hurting consumer spending. On the other hand, enterprises are postponing their large IT spending plans due to a weakening global economy amid ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical issues. Increased tariffs on imports from China could raise costs for both suppliers and end-users in the coming months. This does not bode well for the Computer-Peripheral Equipment market's prospects in the near term. To survive in the highly competitive computer peripheral market, each player is aggressively investing in research and development to enhance their product portfolio and broaden their capabilities. Moreover, companies are looking to improve their sales and marketing capabilities, particularly by increasing their sales force. Elevated operating expenses to capture more market share are likely to dent margins in the near term. The Zacks Computer-Peripheral Equipment industry is housed within the broader Zacks Computer and Technology sector. It carries a Zacks Industry Rank #57, which places it in the top 23% of approximately 250 Zacks industries. The group's Zacks Industry Rank, which is the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates robust near-term prospects. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than two to one. The industry's position in the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries is a result of the positive earnings outlook for the constituent companies in aggregate. Looking at the aggregate earnings estimate revisions, it appears that analysts are optimistic about this group's earnings growth potential. Given the bright industry outlook, several stocks are worth watching. However, before we present the stocks that you may want to consider for your portfolio, let's take a look at the industry's recent stock market performance and valuation picture. The Zacks Computer-Peripheral Equipment industry has underperformed the S&P 500 composite and the broader Zacks Computer and Technology sector in the trailing 12 months. The industry has declined 7.1% during this period. The S&P 500 and the broader sector have risen 12.3% and 10.2%, respectively, over the same time frame. Based on the forward 12-month P/S, which is a commonly used multiple for valuing computer peripheral stocks, we see that the industry is currently trading at 0.62X compared with the S&P 500's 5.28X and the Zacks Computer and Technology sector's 6.65X. Over the last five years, the industry has traded as high as 4.81X, as low as 0.20X and at the median of 0.74X. TransAct Technologies: The company designs, develops, manufactures and markets transaction-based printers and related products under the BOHA, AccuDate, Epic and Ithaca brand names. This Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) company focuses on five vertical markets — point-of-sale, gaming and lottery, financial services, kiosks and the Internet. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here. TransAct Technologies is benefiting from the growing demand for its products and services amid accelerated digital transformation and business automation across organizations. The company's printers are trusted worldwide to provide crisp, clean transaction records from receipts, tickets and coupons, register journals and other documents. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the 2025 bottom line is pegged at a loss of 19 cents per share, narrower than the loss of 26 cents projected 60 days ago. The stock has declined 0.8% over the past year. Immersion: The company is a trailblazer in the flourishing haptic technology space, which provides tactile feedback for several industries, such as gaming, automotive and virtual reality (VR). The demand for haptic technology is growing, and IMMR's strong intellectual property portfolio — backed by several patents — puts it in a promising position to gain from this growth. Immersion's technology is already integrated into more than three billion devices globally. Its impressive client base includes more than 150 licensed customers. This Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company's strong market presence solidifies its position as a key player in the haptic space. Immersion's partnerships are a major factor driving its market success. Licensing agreements with Sony Group, Samsung and Meta Platforms extend Immersion's reach into VR, gaming and mobile markets. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2026 earnings has remained unchanged at 42 cents per share over the past 60 days. IMMR stock has declined 22.7% in the past 12 months. LG Display: This Seoul, Republic of Korea-based company primarily manufactures and sells thin-film transistor liquid crystal display panels in a range of sizes and specifications, primarily for use in televisions, notebook computers and desktop monitors, as well as for handheld application products, such as mobile phones, and medium and large-size panels for industrial and other applications, including entertainment systems, portable navigation devices, e-paper, digital photo displays and medical diagnostic equipment. LG Display is riding on the healthy demand for its display panels from PC vendors. Recent data releases by International Data Corporation depict that PC vendors have witnessed increasing PC shipments for the past six quarters. Furthermore, the research firm's prediction of a 4.1% overall increase in 2025 PC shipments bodes well for LG Display's prospects. The solid sales of smartphones are also likely to spur demand for this Zacks Rank #3 company's display panels. LG Display supplies products to original equipment manufacturers and multinational corporations. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its 2025 bottom line is pegged at earnings of 25 cents per share, unchanged over the past 60 days. The stock has plunged 26.6% in the past year. From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all. This company targets millennial and Gen Z audiences, generating nearly $1 billion in revenue last quarter alone. A recent pullback makes now an ideal time to jump aboard. Of course, all our elite picks aren't winners but this one could far surpass earlier Zacks' Stocks Set to Double like Nano-X Imaging which shot up +129.6% in little more than 9 months.

Here's when the iPhone 17e is coming
Apple unveiled the iPhone 16e, its replacement for the SE line, back in February, and since then there have been quite a few conflicting reports on whether the "e" model would be refreshed annually or not. The SE iPhones took a few years between generations, but the renaming did imply a now-annual release for Apple's cheapest handset. And today a new report from Korea seemingly confirms this, saying there will be an iPhone 17e, and it's coming next spring. It will have the exact same display panel as its predecessor, so if there are any notable upgrades, they will be elsewhere. iPhone 16e BOE, Samsung Display, and LG Display have all supplied panels for the iPhone 16e, with BOE having the biggest chunk of the pie, and all three companies are expected to reprise their roles for the upcoming iPhone 17e. Apple allegedly expects to sell around 20 million iPhone 16e units this year, which is in line with sales of previous SE models. Apple iPhone 16e Source (in Korean)

Loewe Adds 97-Inch Screen Option To Its Aptly Named Stellar OLED TV Range
In a TV world where most brands' takes on OLED screens are more or less variations on a theme, Loewe's Stellar range truly is something different. Thanks to Loewe's status as the only European brand allowed by LG Display to work with its OLED panels at the 'open cell' level of production, the flagship Stellar sets can be manufactured on Loewe's own production line in Kronach, Germany featuring both an ultra-slim profile and a backing sheet that's uniquely made of concrete. The new 97-inch Loewe Stellar TV turns to VIDAA smarts. While the Stellar sets have always looked impressive, though, Loewe has now managed to take the concept to a whole new level by adding a vast new 97-inch model to the range. And having seen this new king-sized Stellar model in the flesh, I can confirm that far from looking like some awkward expansion of a design that on paper might struggle both aesthetically and technically to stretch so far, the Stellar 97 actually feels in many ways like the design's ultimate realization. The huge 97-inch screen still delivers a native 4K resolution, of course, as well as compatibility with the HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision formats – including the Dolby Vision IQ Precision Detail system, which adjusts the picture to compensate for your room conditions. The pictures produced by Loewe's picture engine looked impressive on the demo sample, too – bright, colorful and rich in contrast – despite the 97-inch Stellar not benefitting from the same premium micro lens array OLED panel technology sported by the smaller 55, 65 and 77-inch Stellar models. (For the simple reason that 97-inch MLA OLED panels are currently not available to any TV brand.) While the raw enormity of the Stellar 97's screen and pictures is of course a sight to behold, though, it's the look and build quality of what the screen is set in that really helps Loewe's flagship model stand out from the fast-growing circa 100-inch TV crowd. The screen's frame is finished in brushed aluminium with precision diamond-cut edges, for starters, while a sleek speaker grille made from acoustic fabric sits across a forward facing integrated sound bar that runs across the full width of the TV's bottom edge. The model I saw was attached to a gorgeous grey floorstand mount, too, where the TV sits on the top of a pole supported on a striking cross-shaped support – though Loewe actually recommends that the TV is mounted instead on either a smaller version of the floorstand designed for desktop placement, or on a specially designed 'hidden' wall mount specially designed to support the TV almost flat to your wall, complete with ultra durable VESA mounting points. The new 97-inch Loewe Stellar TV 'in the flesh'. The set's connections are all discreetly concealed on the Stellar 97, too, with a smart cover system and side AV tunnel system providing comprehensive integrated cable management. The Stellar 97 also retains the Loewe feature of the original smaller Stellar models, where a subtly integrated strip light along the TV's bottom edge casts out light at a brightness level of your choice in either a warm, white glow or any color across the full rainbow spectrum. While the Stellar 97 is still remarkably slender round the back for such a huge screen, the only disappointment, if you can call it that, about its design is that it doesn't retain the distinctive concrete backplate of its smaller siblings. The real aluminium rear panel it gets instead, though, still maintains an ultra-premium feel. Smart features are provided on the Stellar 97 by the VIDAA operating system, which provides a pretty comprehensive range of the world's most popular video streaming services, while the audio system tucked behind that huge 'soundbar' ups the power to a colossal 300W from the already potent 200W provided by the 55-77-inch Stellar models. The 97-inch Stellar TV recently picked up both iF and Red Dot Design Awards, and is set to launch this month in the UK and Europe, priced at £29,999/€29,999. — Loewe Launches New 'Stellar' Flagship TVs With MLA Screens And A Unique Concrete Design LG OLED And LCD TVs Are About To Get Easier To Use Hisense Unveils 2025 U.K. TV Range—Including 100-Inch Mini LEDs And A New OLED
