Black Friday goes hand in hand with TV deals.

And let's be real: When you look at the many price drops over Black Friday, it's the biggest screens with the heaviest discounts that really make their mark.

What can we say? We're a sucker for a massive screen.

A 75-inch screen is more than enough for most people (and probably too much for some), but this is not just a big screen. It has a native refresh rate of 144Hz, making the TCL QM6K a strong choice for watching sports, streaming new shows, and of course, gaming. Mashable's sister site PCMag reviewed this machine and said, "The TCL QM6K is a very good value and a strong performer for the price. While it isn’t the brightest TV available, its mini-LED backlight enables deep black levels for excellent contrast, its colors are wide and accurate, and it's packed with features for streaming and gaming." That's good enough for us, especially at under $900.

This 85-inch beast uses Samsung's most advanced 4K processor for enhanced picture, sound, and "breakthrough TV experiences," whatever that means. Samsung promises that users will get detailed picture and vivid color on a glare free screen for viewing without distraction. To us, that says this massive TV is absolutely perfect for movie night or the big game at the weekend. And with a discount of over $2,000 on list price? You know it makes sense.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery trailer sees Josh OConnor accused of an impossible crime

Mashable - Mon, 11/17/2025 - 09:18

Josh O’Connor stands accused of an impossible crime in Rian Johnson's latest Knives Out film, with a new trailer out today.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery sees dapper detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) on his toughest case yet, following The Glass Onion. In a small town in upstate New York, Monsignor Wicks (Josh Brolin) ends up dead, and it's a locked room mystery worthy of fictional case-crackers from Sherlock Holmes to Jonathan Creek.

The prime suspect? Newcomer priest Jud Duplenticy (O'Connor), who swears he didn't do it. Could it be him? Or one of the star-studded cast? Andrew Scott, Kerry Washington, Daryl McCormack, Glenn Close, Mila Kunis, Cailee Spaeny, Jeremy Renner, and Thomas Haden Church are also on the bill.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery will open in select cinemas on Nov. 26, then debut on Netflix on Dec. 12.

The first expansion for Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution, Phantasmal Flames, has finally dropped after a hectic launch weekend. Thank goodness we're getting good deals off the shelf right now, although we still need to see the general market return to MSRP pricing outside of preorders and limited restocks.

With print runs going harder than ever before, we're hopefully going to see Scarlet and Violet / Mega Evolution era Pokémon TCG reprinted into oblivion. In turn this means we'll see scalpers move on and big box retailer pricing go down, which means better deals for trainers like you.

The Phantasmal Flames Booster Box is currently below market value on Amazon at $299.99, compared to TCGplayer's current market value of $309.81. It's still over MSRP, but getting products below market value right now is the best we're going to get outside of aforementioned preorders.

I spend a lot of time trawling through the depths of the online world to find deals that are genuinely worth your time and money.

We're constantly scanning leading retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy to bring you new opportunities to save your precious cash. But we're not satisfied with the current state of affairs.

I'll send a Deal of the Day most days. During major shopping events like Prime Day and Black Friday, we may bump this up to a couple of sends per day. But that's only if we come across multiple offers that are truly worth the send. If we track down a bunch of impressively low prices during a busy shopping event, we'll drop those in a single text.

IT: Welcome to Derry mid-season trailer teases a key event in the book

Mashable - Mon, 11/17/2025 - 05:01

We're halfway through IT: Welcome to Derry, and the second half of the season looks more clown-filled than ever.

In the footage above we see Dick Hallorann struggling with his visions, plenty more of Pennywise, and a shot of a burning building that looks like it may well be the fire at the Black Spot that takes place in the novels. This is one of several horrifying events that Mike Hanlon writes about in his history of Derry, upon which the show is based — it's also an event that marks the end of the creature's cycle.

IT: Welcome to Derry airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max.

It's the season for great deals and discounts, and even though Black Friday is still a couple of weeks away, many retailers are bringing out great offers a little early. And one early deal that has caught our eye is on the JBL Tune Buds, currently at their best-ever price at Amazon. As of Nov. 17, these earbuds are priced at just $39.95. That's over half off, and a saving of $60 on list price.

They come in three colors (all available at the reduced price), so take your pick from black, blue, and white. For a price this low, you might not think you're getting all that much. But you'd be wrong to think that, very wrong.

SEE ALSO: We tested every pair of Bose headphones and earbuds. We found 5 we love, and 1 to buy on sale.

These earbuds use 10mm drivers to deliver JBL’s Pure Bass sound, so you get a deeper, more intense sound. They also benefit from active noise cancelling, with different modes with varying levels of sound blocking. Switch to Ambient Aware if you want to stay aware of what’s happening around you, or use TalkThru for quick conversations without having to take the buds out.

And it's not just the audio that's great, calls and voice notes stay clear thanks to the four-microphone setup. The VoiceAware feature also lets you tweak how much of your own voice you hear while talking. For battery life, enjoy up to 48 hours in total, or 40 hours if you keep noise cancelling on. When you're running low, just give them a quick 15-minute charge to get four hours of listening. Perfect for when you're heading out the door.

Amazon's Black Friday event officially kicks off on Nov. 20, but there's already some deals trickling in. And if you're trying to rush through your yearly reading challenge, maybe this Kindle Paperwhite deal will give you the motivation you need. As of Nov. 17, you can get a refurbished Kindle Paperwhite at Amazon for just $106.99. This is the best-ever price for this model, and a saving of $37 on list price.

This model is refurbished to a "like new" standard. This just means that it has been tested and certified to look and work like a new device, and it still comes with the same limited warranty as a new device. It might come in a generic Amazon box as opposed to Kindle packaging, but otherwise it's as if it's a brand new device.

SEE ALSO: I test Kindles for a living. These are the only e-reader deals I'd recommend shopping early.

This is a really advanced Kindle, and Amazon's fastest in the range. You'll feel this most significantly during faster page turns. It has a seven-inch display and its ultra-thin, glare-free design makes it easy to read wherever you are, no matter the lighting. You can shift the screen tone from white to amber for comfortable reading in bright sun or at night, and it’s waterproof so you can use it by the pool or in the bath.

The battery life is seriously impressive, promising to last up to 12 weeks on a single USB-C charge. And with this device you'll also get access to a huge library of over 15 million titles, with the option to add Kindle Unlimited if you want even more choices.

Pick up this Kindle deal from Amazon now.
