The days of buying a standalone media-streamer may be coming to an end, as Fire TV and Roku seem to be making their way into more and more TVs. For now, however, if you have a model that’s not already smart — or you’re not happy with the nature of those smarts — you can …

Happy Monday, cheeps! In honor of Martin Luther King Day, CNET is, technically, closed — but that doesn’t mean I’m going to leave you deal-less. Indeed, because of yesterday’s ah-mazing NFL playoffs, I feel obligated to bring you a similarly amazing TV deal. If those two games weren’t enough to whet your appetite for a newer, bigger screen, nothing will. For …

Back in January, when Super Bowl TV deals were coming fast and furious, I shared this Insignia TV at the then-colossal price of $150. Today, it’s even colossal-er. For a limited time, and while supplies last, Best Buy has the Insignia 39-inch 1080p Fire TV Edition for $129.99. That’s the lowest price to date and a full $40 below the Black …

I really wanted one of those sensationalized headlines for this story. Something along the lines of, “This simple fact about hotel prices will shock you,” but CNET doesn’t roll that way. (Thank goodness.) Nevertheless, this simple fact about hotel prices will shock you: There’s a 40-percent chance your room rate will drop after you book it. Nearly as shocking, if …

While you’re scoping out TV deals for the playoffs, the big game and other big-screen-worthy viewing (free movies, anyone?), don’t forget what is arguably the cheapest path to the biggest “screen” of all: a projector. If you’re looking for a permanent, real-deal projector to mount in your living room, that’s a great option, no question — check out our list …

It’s beginning to feel a lot like… Black Friday? It is if you’re shopping for a new TV, at least, because one of the best deals on one of the best models has returned. For a limited time, Best Buy is once again offering the TCL 6 Series 65-inch Roku 4K TV for $799.99 shipped (plus tax). It normally sells for $970. …

Like pizza? If you’re a Sprint customer, there’s a free one coming your way. Today. Right now. My Sprint Rewards is a brand-new perks program that appears to compete directly with the popular T-Mobile Tuesdays — or perhaps to dovetail, given the planned merger of the two carriers (which is still on hold for now). See it at Sprint To …

Yesterday I shared a deal on a desk and a desk chair. Today, let’s talk about how to improve your posture while you’re sitting there. I’ll preface this by saying that I’m a pretty typical desk-bound worker (because writer, duh). And I’ve definitely experienced my share of neck and shoulder pain — some of it severe. I know my chair …

Need a place to work? How about a place to sit while you do that work? Let’s talk furniture. Just by random chance, a desk deal and office-chair deal crossed my radar this morning, so it seemed logical to mash ’em up. I’ll start with the former. For a limited time, and while supplies last, AGDirect (via Amazon) has the …

The best part of my weekend was the solid hour I spent poring over this book. The actual book. Printed pages and everything. It reminded me of just how much time I usually spend looking at screens — big, small and in between. But, dang it, they’re so entertaining! I mean, have you seen Travelers on Netflix? Or relaxed with …
