If you’re tired of your old TV’s lackluster audio and lack of smart TV features, today’s the day you’ll be able to kill two birds with one stone. The Roku Streambar SE is on sale at Walmart for only $80, which is a $20 markdown from its $100 retail. 

The Roku Streambar SE is a solid upgrade for TV sound, especially for smaller spaces, and the system’s built-in Roku streamer gives you access to hundreds of apps, games, and Roku TV exclusives. Just connect to your TV via HDMI ARC and all component audio (meaning whatever is plugged into your TV) will route audio through the new soundbar. 

Ideal for smaller to mid-sized TVs, the Streambar SE delivers crisp-clear vocals and dialogue, so you’ll never miss vital plot points. You’ll also be able to switch between Movie, Music, and other presets for further fine-tuning. 

The Streambar SE must be connected to Wi-Fi in order to access apps and other web features, but the soundbar has a Bluetooth input, too. As a matter of fact, you’ll even be able to pair a set of Bluetooth headphones or earbuds to the Streambar SE for private listening!

The Streambar’s built-in bass port does a nice job at spotlighting low end performance, but those looking for deep bass will want to pick up a Roku Wireless Bass down the line, or invest in a soundbar that comes with a wireless sub. 

Save $20 on the Roku Streambar SE when you purchase right now. We also suggest taking a gander at our lists of the best TV deals, best soundbar deals, and best Walmart deals.

TCL X11L Review: An impressive blend of display excellence and surprisingly great audio

What makes the X11L especially interesting is the technology behind it. While much of the industry is racing toward RGB Mini-LED backlights, TCL went a completely different direction with what it calls Super Quantum Dot, or SQD. Rather than using separate red, green, and blue LEDs in the backlight, SQD sticks with a single-color LED backlight but pairs it with a new generation of quantum dot particles and an improved color filter. The result is wider color, higher (blinding) brightness, and a thinner panel than RGB Mini-LED can currently achieve. After weeks of living with this TV, I think TCL made the right call.
