This Thursday marks the United States' 248th birthday, and major retailers including Walmart, Best Buy, and Amazon have sales in full swing to mark the occasion. I've scoured them all to find the deals that are actually worth considering.
Best Fourth of July deals on TVs
If you're looking for a budget-friendly option, Amazon's Fire TV 2 Series starts at $109.99 (originally $199.99) for the 32-inch. It only has 720p resolution, so it might be best for a secondary TV in a kitchen, for example. The middle-of-the-pack option is Best Buy's Insignia 4K Fire TV, starting at $189.99 (originally $299.99) for the 50-inch version—an impressive price for a 4K smart TV of decent size. If you can spend a bit more, Amazon's Fire TV Omni QLED Series is a 4K UHD smart TV for $419.99 (originally $599.99). As the name implies, it is a QLED TV, so it'll give you the best picture quality of the bunch.
Best Fourth of July deals on security cameras
Amazon has two great Blink Outdoor 4 camera bundle options. The first is the Blink Outdoor 4 + Blink Mini 2 Bundle for $49.99 (originally $139.99), which includes the Blink Outdoor 4 camera and the Blink Mini 2. The second option is a four-pack Blink Outdoor 4 bundle for $132.99 (originally $339.99). The Blink Mini 2 can be used indoors or outdoors, so the best option really comes down to how many cameras and what combination you're looking for in your home.
Best Fourth of July deals on tablets
The Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle for $276.97 (originally $449.97) includes the 16GB Kindle Scribe with the Basic Pen, a leather cover, and a power adapter. You can also choose the Premium Pen and get more storage for a similar discount. If instead, you want a tablet geared toward media consumption, the 32GB Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet for $74.99 (originally $139.99) is the newest model for the cheapest it has ever been.
Best Fourth of July deals on monitors
The ultra wide Samsung 49" Odyssey G93SC Series is a powerful gaming monitor with impressive specs. It has a 240Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms response rate, and an OLED display for better image quality and viewing angles. For $1,099.99 (originally $1,599.99) you'd be getting it for $100 higher than its lowest price ever. If you're looking for a more budget option, the Samsung 32-Inch Odyssey G50D Series is $299 (originally $429.99) and is a good option with a flat IPS panel and a 180Hz refresh rate.
Best Fourth of July JBL speaker deal
You might not have time to get this speaker bundle in time for your Fourth of July party, but you'd still have all summer to use it. The JBL PartyBox On-The-Go Essential for $249.95 (originally $349.95) offers about six hours of playtime and a Bluetooth range of about 33 feet for the included microphone.
