the last 3 years, Amazon has had a solid midrange Yamaha receiver for 299 on Black Friday. It was the RX-V671, then 673, 675, so probably the 677 this year. Highly recommended at that price point.

thanks. Couple questions. Can I AirPlay my iPhone to this even tho it it doesn't have Bluetooth? Does it work over the wifi? Also my tv doesn't have hdmi arc.....can I still use hdmi connections as long as I run an optical from my tv to my receiver?

Anyone know if the amazon echos will be on sale before Christmas?

Bought that last year...
Returned it after two weeks....

Best Buy started running a lot of deals on tvs today. They just have thousands of tvs in boxes stacked randomly around the store. Sales guy I was talking to says they hope to get rid of most of them before Friday. Seemed like every other person I saw in there was walking out with one. The Samsung and Sony 65" 4K ultra tvs were going for about $1700 marked down from $2500.

Anybody have any recommendations on either. I'm trying to decide which one I want. Of course in the store the little videos they have on their make them both look amazing. Looking for some actual real world reviews

Is that a good deal for the toshiba?

---

Well toshiba has been out of the TV business for most of this year, so its left over models. warranty support might be a bitch

Best Buy has this Samsung - 60" Class (60" Diag.) - LED - 2160p - Smart - 4K Ultra HD TV - Black
Model: UN60JU6390FXZA

for $800 with promo code SAMSUNG60DEAL

I want a 65" or 70" so I'm not going for it, but throwing it out there.

That 65" LG deal for $1,000 sounds good, but someone mentioned it being no good?

ETA Samsung 60"

Here's a Samsung 65" 4k for $1,299. It has been hovering around $1500-$1600 over the last few months so this isn't a bad deal 120mHz.

Best Buy

ETA: I must hold out from this deal

If anyone sees a good OLED deal please let me know. 65" minimum.

Some cyber monday deals..not all of them that great, but thought i'd share anyway
