    Element 55-inch Roku smart TV: $330
    Save $99 vs. Amazon
    
    TVs with the Roku smart system built-in are available across multiple brands. In this case, you’ll be going with the lesser-known Element brand versus CNET’s preferred vendor, TCL. But you’ll still get access all the same Roku smart apps, including (with subscription) HBO Max, Hulu, Netflix and Disney Plus. And at the 55-inch screen size, you’re saving about $100 on the Element versus the TCL at Amazon, while still getting key features like 4K resolution and HDR10.

    HP 27-inch monitor: $150
    Save $50 vs. Amazon
    
    Maybe you’re still working from home, or maybe your eyes are just getting a bit older. Either way, expanding your 13- or 15-inch laptop screen to a much more spacious 27-inch view is a welcome step forward, giving you the real estate to get real work done. We haven’t tested this model, but with 1080p resolution and dual HDMI inputs, it’s a solid deal at this price.?

    Oral-B Smart 1500: $40
    Save $35 vs. Amazon
    
    This isn’t the exact same Oral-B model we recommend on our Best List, but for $40 — almost half of what it costs at Amazon — it’s a great starting point for anyone who’s ready to offload their brushing duties to a rechargeable assistant. Note that this sale ends Monday, not Tuesday.
