Samsung's 4K monitor is one of the best deals in tech, and it's an even better deal than usual right now. Unlike most budget-minded 4K panels, this one actually runs at 60Hz over DisplayPort. [Samsung 28" 4K Display, $550]
If you don't have the cash for a 4K display, or the hardware to drive it, a 2560x1440 QHD monitor is pretty great compromise. [ WASABI-MANGO QHD275 Dual HDMI 27-Inch LED 2560x1440 S-IPS QHD Monitor, $270]
"If you experience eyestrain, they are probably worth it." - Lifehacker
I've never worn my Gunnar Optiks for gaming, and probably never will. "Eye strain" is a subjective and also somewhat vague concept. What I know is that if I'm tired (and my eyes are tired by extension), that my Gunnar Optiks make my experience in front of a monitor exponentially better. I'm wearing them as I type this. -Shane
Often checking in at $100, the Wi-Five Full Rim Onyx frames are among Gunnar's most expensive, but today, you can get a pair for just $65. [ Gunnar Optiks Wi-Five Full Rim Onyx Computer Glasses, $65]
Don't want to spend quite that much? The Intercept frames are also cheaper than usual today. [Gunnar Optiks Intercept Full Rim Computer Glasses, $51]

While its 1280x800 screen isn't going to blow anyone away, this Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 is still a great deal for anyone looking for a full-sized tablet. To sweeten the deal, it even comes with bonuses like 50GB of Dropbox space, and $10 Google Play credit. [Samsung Galaxy Tab 4, 10.1-Inch, $280]

Audio Technica's venerable ATH-M50 headphones, long a favorite of Lifehacker readers, are on sale today for $129. While that isn't the best price we've ever seen, it's the first deal we've seen on them in months. [Audio Technica ATH-M50, $129]
If your older car lacks Bluetooth, USB, or even an AUX jack, this FM transmitter may be your best option for playing your smartphone's audio through your speakers.

Update: Amazon has sold out at the promotional price, but B&H still has the year-older model for $110.
It's no secret that GoPro dominates the action cam market, but Sony's AS30V is a very solid competitor, and is over half off today.
Gizmodo's most recent action cam roundup pegged the Sony as a respectable third place finisher, but at its full $300 MSRP, I'd probably recommend you get a GoPro. Today only though, Amazon's selling the Sony for just $140, which is within the range of many budget-minded action cams (including the $130 GoPro HERO), but with features more becoming of a high-end device, including:
- SteadyShot image stabilization reduces blur
- Built-in Wi-Fi and one touch NFC for remote control and viewing via smartphone1
- 6 video modes including 1080/60p HD and 4x slow motion
This price is only available today, or until sold out, so don't waste any time. [ Amazon]
Update: B&H coincidentally has the previous generation Sony HDR-AS15 on sale for $110 today. Its waterproof housing is heavier (though it can actually go deeper), it only takes 2 megapixel stills (compared to the AS30V's 12), and it lacks built-in GPS, but otherwise it's pretty similar. Can't go wrong either way.
Twitter isn't a bonus for us, it's an essential component of our coverage. It's the fastest way we can let you know about a deal, and many of our best deals only make it to Twitter because they're so short-lived. You can also set up push notifications just for our deals right in the Twitter app (hit the star on our account page, or the gear icon to find the option), or create an account just to follow along without having to participate in Twitter at all.
