Labor Day is a uniquely great time to buy a TV. While it may not see deals as intense as Black Friday or the end of football season, its timing is indisputably clutch: Labor Day deals strike right before the NFL season and spooky season, both of which call for heavy TV watching and a nice, new screen to do it on. Plus, the 50% off discount on TCL's NXTVISION art TVs sounds pretty Black Friday-ish to us. Through Sept. 29, you can save between $700 and $2,000 on the TCL NXTVISION (previously called the NXTFRAME).
Your best bet is to shop at Best Buy as some sizes are out of stock at Amazon. Note: The MSRPs listed by Best Buy are far lower than the MSRPs at TCL's website, so Best Buy's discounts look less stark — but we're trusting TCL's prices on its own TVs, and TCL says they're all half off. They're all significantly cheaper than Samsung's The Frame TVs of the same sizes, even on sale themselves.
Here's the full price rundown at Best Buy:
-
55-inch NXTVISION — $698.99 $999.99 (save $301)
-
65-inch NXTVISION — $999.99 $1,299.99 (save $301)
-
75-inch NXTVISION — $1,299.99 $1,599.99 (save $500)
-
85-inch NXTVISION — $1,799.99 $2,799.99 (save $1,000)
Art TVs like the TCL NXTVISION or Samsung's The Frame have comparable specs to other QLED TVs on the market. Their extra layer of quantum dots helps them to achieve higher levels of brightness that pop during daytime watching. The 2024 NXTVISION TV features a 120Hz refresh rate, doubling the responsiveness of the 60Hz seen on most cheap 4K TVs. So, what's the difference between an art TV and a regular TV? It's the matte screen that allows the TV to look like framed wall art, not a shiny black TV. When not in use, you can choose from hundreds of famous paintings available in the NXTVISION's settings. From the side, the NXTVISION only sticks out 1.2 inches from the wall — a much more subtle framed effect than the average TV wall mount.
If you're looking for an NFL Sunday Ticket deal while you're at it, those are aplenty right now: My Best Buy Plus and Total members can get the full upcoming season for $258 (returning subscribers included) while Verizon phone or home internet customers can straight up get NFL Sunday Ticket for free.

Bad Bunnys halftime show sparked emotional reactions across the Americas. See the heartwarming videos now.
During Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show, millions of viewers experienced the performance together — cheering in living rooms, filming on their phones, and reacting in real time. But for those of Latin American descent, hearing their home countries named out loud during Benito's grand finale made the moment especially meaningful.
In his closing act, Bad Bunny transformed the stage into a celebration of the Americas. Dancers carried flags from countries across North, Central, and South America, while a massive screen behind him flashed messages like "The only thing more powerful than hate is love." He capped the roll call of nations with a declaration that "together, we are America," framing the finale as a moment of shared identity and joy.
For those watching at home, the emotion didn't end when the music stopped. Viewers immediately took to social media to document their reactions, sharing clips of their friends and families cheering, hugging, and erupting with pride when their countries were named — turning a televised performance into a collective celebration.
Together, these clips formed a digital mosaic of diaspora, stitched from small, intimate moments across phone screens and time zones. Each video captured the same feeling: that for a few minutes, home — wherever it was — didn't feel so far away.

Mashable's shopping team has spent quite a bit of time with Ultimate Ears Bluetooth speakers and we're big fans. We love the Hyperboom and Epicboom, but the itty bitty Wonderboom is one of our absolute favorites. If you're in the market for a portable Bluetooth speaker, we highly recommend this tiny powerhouse — especially when it's on sale.
As of Feb. 10, the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 is down to just $69.99 at Amazon. That's 30% off its list price of $99.99 and just 10 bucks shy of its best-ever price from Black Friday.
Our favorite sub-$100 Bluetooth speaker, the Wonderboom 4 fits in the palm of your hand but offers surprisingly balanced and powerful sound. As Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard noted in our roundup, "the sound profile is well-rounded and can get loud."
It can last up to 14 hours on a full charge, handles drops from up to five feet like a champ, and can be submerged in water for up to half an hour. We do wish it offered a companion app to customize the sound profile, but for a ultra-portable no-frills speaker, it's an excellent value.
