Mentally, we're still in March. In reality, it's the first official Friday of fall.
To add to the list of reasons why the 2020 calendar doesn't feel isn't real, Prime Day (typically a July event) was reported by multiple sources to have an official start date of Oct. 13. Just in time for Amazon's biggest event of the year, the tech giant unveiled a heap of new Echo and Fire TV devices.
Anyone who will be relying on their TV for companionship over the next few months should be excited: The new Fire TV experience is supposed to have more easily accessible menus and search tools, but more importantly, the voice-first Alexa experience that regular Echo devices use. A feature that lets you answer Zoom calls from your TV will make for an absolute seamless transition between your morning meetings and afternoon binge of The Undoing.
But if you're down to buy an entirely new TV, here are the ones to snag before Prime Day. What followers are our favorite deals, organized by brand, then size, then price:
