TVs
On sale for $498 (was $600), the Samsung 55-inch Class Curved TU-8300 Series 4K Ultra HD Smart TV has a panoramic 55-inch curved display with a full 4K Ultra HD resolution, vivid colors and deep black levels. It produces exceptional picture quality with support for HDR (High Dynamic Range) movies and TV shows for the best 4K viewing experience around. In fact, the curve also makes the 55-inch 4K TV seem bigger than it actually is. The 4K resolution and HDR setting draws you in — even if you’re not sitting close to the screen.
And shoppers say it's like being in the movie theater. "The curved screen does make a subtle difference in viewing. I love it," raved a five-star Amazon reviewer. "I feel like I am in the movie, or in a nice theater watching it. There is very little glare and I have a lot of low lighting in the room..."

Portal from Facebook
Have you heard about Portal from Facebook? It's a next-level video-calling experience that uses Augmented Reality (AR) to bring digital interactions to life in a whole new way.

Portal from Facebook is incredibly easy to use: it looks like a 10-inch tablet, and is just totally unintimidating. Better still, you can get $80 off Portal right now — it's on sale for $99, down from $179!

Headphones and earbuds
At $70, down from $180 — that's right; a savings of $110! — the Sony WF-SP700N 'Extra Bass' True Wireless Earbuds come with everything you need: a charging case, secure ear hooks, three pairs of ear tips of various sizes and a charging cable.
These Sony earbuds are ideal for workouts, thanks to their top-rated sweat-proofing and rich bass. Sweat all you want — the 'Extra Bass' remains crystal clear and clean. We're talking bass that would give Beats by Dre a run for their money. "...I chose Sony WF-SP700N instead of Bose or any other brand, as Sony 'Extra Bass' is really awesome," raved a delighted five-star reviewer. "These earbuds are light, the noise-canceling is fantastic and 'Extra Bass' is unbeatable. No other true wireless brand can beat these Sony WF-SP700Ns. The sound quality is so good that I can ditch my Beats Studio2s."
Have we mentioned that the bass is really great on these?

That, or as a medic you can save countless lives, even those that aren’t on your squad, by reviving them. Great game when things are going good.

This eye cream tackles problem areas, plus it lightly conceals while it works its magic. Peptides, vitamin B3 and pigments work together to help reduce the appearance of time's inexorable march.
"Wow! I’m pleasantly surprised," a shopper shared. "The back [label] said 'Works Instantly!' and I though 'Yeah, right...' but it really does. I noticed an instant improvement. Even if it never produces long-term changes, it definitely decreased the dark shadows, leveled out some of the fine wrinkles and made my skin super soft. Best of all, it doesn’t settle in to fine lines or cake, so it’s great for just a tinted moisturizer, mascara and Chapstick day. Definitely found my new eye cream."

Bedding

Pets
If you're a pet parent, you know how important it is to ensure that your pups are eating right (and not, say, getting their treats from the trash). While most puppy snacks are loaded with preservatives, dyes and all sorts of nasties, these bites from Amazon in-house brand Wag are anything but. They're just a single ingredient — chicken breast — and are sourced and freeze-dried in the USA. They're packed with protein and are bite-sized, so they're good for both itty-bitty pups and big boys alike.
"These are the perfect treat to stuff in a bone to ensure hours of entertainment for your pup," a shopper noted. "They have a strong scent which entices them to keep working to get at it. The treats are light and squish to fit [inside] the bones pretty well. My dog goes nutty for these. Having a bone stuffed with treats she has to work for keeps her occupied and less likely to get bored and tip over the trash or get into things she shouldn't."
