http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/20b079770ad0978634b6d2a316ac2115.jpg When you really get down to it, there are two types of TVs in this world: OLED, and not-OLED. LCD panels have come a long way in recent years but there's still nothing like an OLED panel when it comes to deep blacks and vivid colors that leap off the screen. The problem, of course, is that OLED TVs are typically ridiculously expensive. With Black Friday sales still going, however, you're in luck if you want to experience the best OLED has to offer. Until the end of the day on Cyber Monday, Amazon is selling the LG Electronics OLED55B6P Flat 55-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart OLED TV and the LG Electr…

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/e4773bb9e5a01925d007c1c4951776da.jpeg Everyone knows how insane shoppers in the United States get during Black Friday. People fist fight over cheap TVs, steal discounted items from each others' shopping carts, and even shoot each other over parking spots. It's just plain crazy, and since Canada is so close, you'd have to expect at least a little bit of that madness to spill over the northern border, but that's where you'd be oh so wrong. CTV Atlantic's Suzette Belliveau posted up at one of the hottest Black Friday retailers in the world, Best Buy, in order to capture the deal-hunting zombies as they crashed through the door …

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/2dde94f67c3c9dc542e769c29ebfbe38.jpg Devices that fall into the "smart home" category are starting to pick up these days in terms of popularity, but they haven't taken off like most analysts thought they would. It's simple: not everyone is convinced that everything in their lives needs to be connected. Of course, there are some smart home devices that just about everyone can agree will improve and enhance the lives of anyone who uses them, and the Ring Wi-Fi Enabled Video Doorbell is a perfect example. Well guess what: It's on sale right now for $74 off list price, but this killer Black Friday deal is only good for a short time…

Amazon paid Clarkson & co big bucks to make their new automotive show, and now it's torturing us by drip-feeding one episode per week. I know that's how TV has traditionally been delivered, but this is the 21st century, and when an internet company makes a hit TV show, I'm accustomed to calling in sick and binging for two days straight.

With the advent of Google’s new Pixel range of smartphones in 2016, the Nexus line has been discontinued.

The Xperia X is a great phone, as long as you aren’t paying attention to the price tag.

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/218e345c7cd9125ad2bb1dacce4b1a25.jpg Arguably one of the best products in Google’s lineup, the Chromecast is still a hot seller with buyers in 2016. The already-affordable device is even cheaper on Black Friday, since most retailers are taking $10 off the second-gen Chromecast model so you’d end up paying $25 for the device. And no, you don’t necessarily need the 4K-ready Chromecast Ultra just yet, since the “old” model is more than enough to let you beam content to your HDTV. But you might as well go for the Ultra right now, considering the amazing deal Google has lined up for you, giving you the perfect excuse to buy one this…
