There are widescreen monitors, and then there are widescreenmonitors. This is the latter.

This 29″ LG Ultrawide features 2560×1080 resolution, and its IPS panel means that colors and viewing angles will both be stellar. $227’s the best price Amazon’s listed, so close out all of your other windows and focus on buying it.


Humble’s putting video games in the backseat this week with the launch of the Humble Software Bundle, which is focused solely on software to make you more productive, more creative, and more secure.

Highlights here include a year of LastPass Premium, CloudApp Pro, and Corel Painter Essentials 5, but that’s just scratching the surface. You can get everything for as little as $12, or certain apps for even less, so even if you only see yourself using one or two of these programs, this is still an insanely good deal.


As someone who just had to pay $150 to fix a cracked iPhone screen, I wish I’d taken advantage of one of these Ringke deals in the past. Just find your phone on this post, pick a case, and use the corresponding promo code to get it for $4.



Aukey HDTV Antenna, $10 with code AUKEYANP

We see deals on HDTV antennas all the time, but even by our standards, $10 is insanely good for an amplified model. This one is even transparent (save for some subtle metal lines), so it’ll blend into any wall.

Before you purchase though, you may want to check out Lifehacker’s guide to see if this kind of antenna is right for you.


A pair (or two) of well-reviewed Bose headphones won’t break the bank today. In fact, $79 is $20 better than last year’s Prime Day deal, and an all-time low. Just note that the remote on the discounted set will only work on iOS devices, but the audio will obviously work on anything with a headphone jack (which ironically doesn’t include the newest iPhone).


Because walking’s overrated, today’s your chance to save $120 on Segway’s smallest personal transporter.

The Segway One S1 only has one wheel, so balancing takes a bit of practice, but you’ll be able to scoot along at up to 12.5 mph for up to 15 miles on a charge. This deal is an all-time low, but it’s only available today, so roll over to Amazon before it sells out.


Samsung is running a BOGO on both the Galaxy S8 and the S8+ on T-Mobile. Be the cool guy with two phones, or upgrade yourself and give away the other one to some plebs your kid who probably needs a new phone by now. Just add both to your cart, check out, and you’ll get a rebate after you activate.


The past year or so has seen a welcome deluge of Wi-Fi router innovation, and Portal seems to be one of the best newcomers in the space, particularly for smaller dwellings in congested, urban environments.

Portal includes app-based configuration, nine internal antennas, and mesh capabilities if you buy more than one…table stakes these days for a good router. But while almost all home Wi-Fi routers limit you to a small number of public channels over 5GHz, Portal also opens up four “DFS” channels that are typically reserved for military use and commercial radar.

The law allows home routers to use these DFS channels, but they must shift off of them for a set amount of time whenever they detect active radar to avoid interference. Portal does just this, and moves all of your devices off of the busy channel in the background automatically, and shifts them back on when it’s safe. That means that most of the time, these channels are practically empty, so you won’t have to worry about interference from your neighbors’ Wi-Fi networks. This Digital Trends review has a thorough explanation of the technology, if you’re curious.

Portal retails for $200, and has sold for around $150 for the last few months, but for a limited time, you can try it out for $126 with promo code KINJAWIN. I bought this thing earlier this year, and absolutely love it.


Anker’s take on truly wireless earbuds is finally here, and you can save a lot by preordering through Kickstarter.

Update: $79 and $89 specials sold out, but there are some left at $99.

Needless to say, we don’t make a habit of covering crowdfunding campaigns, but given that we’ve personally used almost every product Anker has ever made, and our readers have purchased more than 200,000 of their products without issue, we’ll make an exception. Especially for this huge preorder discount.

Even better, I checked out two engineering samples of the Liberty+ on a recent trip to Seattle. They were comfortable (using the only size of ear tips available with the samples), and sounded great both when streaming Spotify and playing a few minutes of some podcasts.

As you’d expect from Anker, the headline spec here is battery life. Liberty+ gets a competitive 3.5 hours of playtime from the earbuds, but a whopping 48 hours out of the charging case. They also have some waterproofing, use Bluetooth 5.0, and work with your favorite voice assistants. Just don’t expect to wear them underwater or find any built-in fitness tracking.

I’ve been using wireless earbuds most days since mid-2016, and between our team we’ve tested more than ten different pairs. Anker’s Liberty+ are a steal at $89 (or $99 if you miss the early bird special), and while they will of course get discounted many times in the future from their $149 MSRP, we wouldn’t expect this price point again any time soon.

Expected shipping in October 2017.


Anker’s PowerLine and PowerLine+ cables were already our readers’ favorite charging cables, but the new PowerLine II line is even stronger, comes with a hassle-free lifetime warranty, and is a few bucks off on Amazon today.

We wrote more about the cables over on Gear, but the long and short of it is that between the extreme durability and the lifetime warranty, it’s quite possible that this will be the last Lightning cables you ever have to buy. The 6′ model is the one on sale this week, but only in white.



3-Pack MicroUSB to USB-C Adapters, $7 with code AUKCBA23 | 2-Pack Aluminum Adapter, $5 with code AUKCBA92

USB-C will be the only cable we ever have to use before too long, but until that day comes, you’ll need some microUSB to USB-C adapters to ease the transition.



Anker SoundBuds Slim, $22 with code 35SUMMER

Anker’s SoundBuds are our readers’ favorite affordable Bluetooth headphones, and the smallest version is back on sale, if you need another pair to keep in your gym bag or luggage.

The SoundBuds Slim are, as you might have gleaned from the name, far smaller than the originals. Heck, they look like a small set of wired earbuds; you might never guess there were batteries and Bluetooth radios in there. Despite the size, these buds are still rated for seven hours of battery life, and recharge fully in just 90 minutes.


USB-C will take over the world before long, but in the meantime, you’ll want some USB-C to USB-A cables to ease the transition. Get two reader-favorite Anker PowerLine cables for $10 with promo code BEST8166.


You don’t need to sell a kidney to afford noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones; these 4 star-rated Cowin E-7s are just $39 right now, or $31 off with promo code AU2KA5OO.

They might not have the brand recognition of Sony or Bose, but these headphones pack in 30 hours of battery life, the ability to use them in wired mode if the battery dies, and yes, active noise cancellation that reviewers say works really well.



1 Year NordVPN, $48 with code VIP70 | 2 Year Plan, $72 with code 2YSpecial2017

VPNs are in the news these days, and with good reason. So if you’re curious to sign up and start protecting your browsing history and personal data (or, you know, getting around websites’ geoblocks), NordVPN charges less per month than a typical trip to Starbucks.

NordVPN has long been one of the most popular and reliable VPN providers out there, and if you sign up for a one-year membership, promo code VIP70 will drop your annual price from $69 to $48. If you’re sure you want to commit, use this link instead to get a special two year plan for $79 with code 2YSpecial2017. Lifehacker has recommended Nord in some previous guides, but if you have any firsthand experience with the service, sound off in the comments!

Sitting on a balance ball at work is a great way to strengthen your core and improve your posture without any significant time commitment. But on the other hand, it looks ridiculous.

That, I assume, is why Gaiam made the Balance Ball Stool, which is just a stool with a partial balance ball attached to the top. Normally $129, you can get one from Amazon today for $103, and have it delivered to your office by the end of the week.


Update: Now up to $10 for four, which is still a good price.

When I bought my first Cree LED lightbulbs about five years ago, I think I paid more than $10 per bulb. Now, you can get four of them for under $8. We’ve seen other LED bulbs around the $2 mark, but never dimmable ones like the Crees.


Anker’s beginning its drive into the automotive accessory space with an affordable new dash cam, and you can race over to Amazon to snag one for $68, the best price we’ve seen since our exclusive (and short-lived) $64 launch deal..

I test drove the Anker Roav DashCam, and you can see my full impressions here. But to give you the cliffnotes, it shoots 1080p, its space-saving design makes it essentially invisible to the driver, and it even includes Wi-Fi to transfer clips to your phone, which is hard to find in a sub-$100 dash cam.

The last big deal on this thing only lasted a few hours, and we have little reason to expect this will be any different.


This stainless steel table is Amazon’s top seller in the “Commercial Worktables and Workstations” category, but it wouldn’t look out of place in most home kitchens. In fact, I think it looks pretty darn nice, especially for an all-time low $88.


Even at an all-time low $364, the Roomba 860 is still quite a bit more expensive than, say, the Eufy RoboVac 11. That said, it boasts up to five times the sucking power of the comparable Roomba 650, so if you have kids or pets that tend to track in a lot of dirt, it might be worth the premium.


Raising a kid is expensive enough as it is, so Amazon’s throwing parents a lifeline today with a 20% coupon on baby food. Puffs, bars, and a whole bunch of those squeezy tube things are included in the sale, so stock up. Just remember that you won’t see the 20% discount until checkout.


Chemical Guys makes some of the most popular car detailing products on the market, and Amazon’s currently taking 20% off several soaps, sealants, scents, and more. Just note that the prices listed on this page don’t include the discount, so you won’t see the deal until checkout.



Naipo Seat Cushion, $15 with code KinjaLDN

We’ve posted a lot of deals lately on these coccyx seat cushions, but $13 is one of the best prices we’ve seen to date. These will improve posture and ease back pain in any chair where you spend a lot of time, from the office to the car to a long flight.

Need one for your lower back too?



OxyLED T4S, $60 with code OXYT4SDL

Those big, fancy swing arm lamps aren’t just for architects and lawyers in dramatic films; you can clip this one from OxyLED onto just about any desk for $60 today with code OXYT4SDL. That’s a whopping $30 off, and a great deal for a lamp that yo can adjust every which way.



VicTsing Bluetooth FM Transmitter, $13 with code BM2O8KL8

If you own an older vehicle, you probably don’t have Bluetooth. Hell, you might not even have an AUX jack. But that doesn’t mean you can’t stream music, podcasts, and phone calls wirelessly to your stereo.

Just plug this $13 transmitter into your car’s power outlet (it has a built-in USB port so you can still charge your phone), find an empty radio station, connect your phone over Bluetooth, and stream away.



Anker LC130 Flashlight + 2x LC40 Flashlight, $60 with code KINJA619

In addition to making a bunch of your favorite charging gear, Anker also produces some seriously popular flashlights, and we’ve got a special deal on them today just for our readers.

All you have to do is buy Anker’s super-bright LC130 flashlight, and you’ll get two of their compact LC40s for free. Just add both products below to your cart, and use code KINJA619 at checkout to get the discount.

The LC130 puts out a blinding 1300 lumens, and features a built-in rechargeable battery and IP67 dust and water resistance, while the LC40s put out a still-respectable 400 lumens, and require AAAs or 18650 batteries.

Klymit pads are lightweight and inflate incredibly easy, so they’re ready to be packed into an overnight bag and hiked up a mountain. And right now, Amazon is running a Klymit sale full of really fantastic sleeping pads, pillows and more. I have the Static V2 pad and for $40, I’m kind of pissed I can’t return mine and grab it from Amazon.

Note: No, that’s not a giant Cheeto. It’s a sleeping bag.


Love ‘em or hate ‘em, it seems Crocs are here to stay. If you want to get a pair of your own, head over to Amazon and check out their sale on Crocs shoes right now. There’s a pair for everyone in the family as well, if that’s something that interests you.


The Hanes Comfort Soft line took down your vote for best men’s underwear, and today you can get a 5-pack for $22 from Amazon. You can also save $2 by opting for the Comfort Flex, which features exposed elastic, rather than covering it with fabric like the Comfort Softs.



Indochino Premium Suits, $350 + free shipping, use promo code KINJA

You voted Indochino your favorite custom clothing company by a wide margin, and this week you can dress yourself in one of their premium suits for just $350. Use promo code KINJA.

You do not have to go through the measurement and customization process to lock in this discount. You can checkout now and submit later, which makes it very easy to gift a suit.

This matches our exclusive Black Friday discount, which is the best deal Indochino’s ever offered, and one of our most popular exclusives ever.

Having a suit that fits perfectly is great, but the little details Indochino lets you customize, from your jacket lapels to pocket flaps to accent stiching around your buttons, are where things get fun.

How It Works

Measure and customize from home…

Follow the directions on Indochino’s site to submit your measurements and customize your suit. Once the suit arrives, if anything doesn’t fit quite right, Indochino will provide directions for your local tailor, along with a $75 credit to cover their work. If for whatever reason your tailor cannot resolve the issues, Indochino will remake your suit. Shipping and return shipping are free.

If you live near a showroom

Purchase your suit online with our discount and take your receipt/account info into an Indochino showroom. They’ll do your measurements, walk you through your customization options, and have your suit delivered to the showroom. Return once it arrives for any final alterations if they’re needed.

Those who already have a closet full of suits may want to opt for something more interesting like the Indigo Twill Windowpane, while the rest of us should go for something versatile.

Waterpik Aquarius Water Flosser, $49 after $10 coupon

Waterpik is an easier (and they would argue more effective) way to “floss” between your teeth, and Amazon is once again offering the popular Aquarius model for $49, after clipping the $10 coupon. That’s one of the best prices we’ve seen, so it’s a great time to take the plunge. Your teeth will thank you.

Dorco Pace Power + 10 Cartridges, $14 with code KINJAPWR14

Dorco’s insane razor discounts continue unabated this week with the Pace Power Shaving Kit, just $14 with code KINJAPWR14. The Pace Power looks like a regular razor handle, but pop a AAA battery in there, and it can lightly vibrate to help lift hairs for an easier shave. It’ll work with any of Dorco’s standard cartridges, but this particular bundle includes 10 six-blade Pace 6s.

Top Gaming Deals

Aukey Mini Wi-Fi Drone, $20 with code AUDRONE1 | With Remote, $20 with code AUDRONE2

Before you go out and spend hundreds of dollars on a DJI Phantom, you can learn the basics of flying a quadcopter with this $20 toy drone from Aukey. Trust me, if you can fly this thing, you can fly a GPS-equipped, gyro-stabilized camera rig. And if not, well, it’s not like crashing it will be that big a deal.


Unlike most of the card and board games in your game cabinet, The Grizzled is cooperative, meaning everyone’s either going to win or lose together.

In The Grizzled, players are tasked with surviving the trenches of WWI until Armistice. The mission leader will decide the difficulty of each round as players try to avoid matching the identical symbols or environments on a card. Soldiers will also face other hardships during the war that add to the difficulty. If one of your friends falls in the trenches, your entire group fails. Play together. Survive together. Win together.

Amazon’s marked it down to an all-time low $14, but it could sell out at any time, so don’t let the other buyers outflank you.



2-Pack Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Wheel, $10 with code REIPW5QX

Hardcore Mario Kart enthusiasts might shudder at the thought of using motion controls, but if you or your kids enjoy using the Joy-Con as a steering wheel, these inexpensive plastic housings add a little bit of realism to the experience.




Oculus Rift + Touch Controllers, $600 + $100 Oculus Store Credit

You’ll pay the standard $600 price tag for the headset and Oculus Touch controllers, but you’ll get a bonus $100 credit to spend on the Oculus Store.
