As Black Friday 2021 finished with Thanksgiving leftovers, retailers began stoking the cyber coffers with deals on everything from Paw Patrol to $1,700 off an 8K QLED TV. But we’re going to focus on the latter — the electronics that some of us coveted throughout the year.
Following are some of my personal favorites from this Cyber Monday, and I’ve also curated some that are sure to pique the interest of AV Technology and SCN readers. More Apple products would be on my list, but I’ve never seen them offer a significant price cut.
I looked to our sister publications, Tom’s Guide and TechRadar, for the best deals on electronics and accessories for our hybrid workplaces, and smart homes.
P.S. Prices and availability are subject to change.
Cindy’s Top 10 Cyber Monday Deals
Samsung 65-inch QN900A Neo QLED 8K Smart TV (2021)
Was $4,999.99 now $3,297.99 at Amazon
Save $1,700 - One of the best Cyber Monday TV deals we've spotted so far is this 65-inch QLED 8K TV from Samsung that's on sale for $3,299.99. That's a massive $1,700 discount and the lowest price we've seen for the stunning Samsung display. The Samsung QN900A is one of the best TVs you can buy, thanks to its exceptional picture quality and state-of-the-art design.
Bose QuietComfort 45
Was $329 now $279 @ Amazon
First time on sale! The Bose QuietComfort 45 offer enhanced active noise cancellation, better sound, and longer battery life than its predecessor. In our [Tom’s Guide] review, we called them a no brainer for Bose fans who want to swap out their older QC headphones for something more modern, or shoppers who want first-class Bose noise cancellation at a cheaper price than the premium Bose 700.
Panasonic Lumix S5
Was $1,997 now $1,697 @ Amazon
Get $300 off the full-frame Panasonic Lumix S5 mirrorless camera this Black Friday in one of the best deals we've seen yet. The S5 makes it into our list of the best cameras for vloggers, on account of its advanced video features, while its 5-axis image stabilization will be great for both filming and stills shooting.
LG 83-inch C1 OLED
Was $5,999 now $4,996 @ Walmart
Go big for less with the 83-inch LG C1 OLED, selling now for $1,000 off the regular price. Sure, that's still a pricey 5 grand, but premium OLED displays aren't known for being cheap, especially at this giant size. Packed with features, like HDR, HDMI 2.1 and both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, it's a fantastic TV, now at a slightly more reasonable price.
iRobot Roomba 692 Robot Vacuum
Was $299.9 now $174.99 at Amazon
Save $125 - Roomba robot vacuums are one of the most popular Cyber Monday deals, and Amazon has just dropped a further $25 discount on the best-selling iRobot Roomba 692. That brings the price down to just $174.99, which is a fantastic deal for a robot vacuum and the lowest price we've ever seen.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2
Was $299 now $174 at Amazon
With excellent active noise cancelling, superb sound quality, and a rather neat design, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 are well worth your time. And with $122 off their original price, they are a bit of a bargain.
Harmati Electric Standing Desk
Was $299 now $199 @ Amazon
For under $200, this is a brilliant option for anyone looking for a standing desk. It comes in three different colorways and has a quiet, motorized system for raising and lowering the desk. The wood desktop measures 47 inches by 24 inches, and reviewers loved how neatly it fits into most home offices. The best part? You can currently save big on this desk.
Jabra Elite Active 75t

Ring Video Doorbell Wired Bundle with Echo Show 5
Was $144 now $61 @ Amazon
This deal bundles Ring's least-expensive video doorbell with its smallest smart display. When someone presses the button, you'll be able to see them on the Echo Show 5 and talk to them, too. We also recommend you pick up a Ring Chime, as the Ring Video Doorbell Wired doesn't work with existing chimes.
