The more Prime Day events I cover, the more I'm skeptical about the savings. So when I was asked to show off some of the best October Prime Day deals on Fox 5's Good Day NY show, I tried to be really picky about what I would bring on set.

The highlight for me is the Hisense 65-inch U8N TV which you can grab right now for just $999 at Amazon— a $500 discount from its usual price. In our testing, this Mini-LED TV delivered some of the best brightness results we've ever seen, which means you'll get a bright picture from the Hisense 65-inch U8N even in a room with lots of ambient light.

My other top Prime Big Deal Days picks include the Bose QuietComfort Ultra for $150 off, a super lightweight laptop that puts the MacBook Air to shame, a great home security bundle and a handy portable charger for just $17. Here's the Prime Day deals I recommend.

The Bose QuietComfort headphones deliver best-in-class noise cancelling and both quiet and aware modes so you can hear the world around you (when you want to).

Hisense 65" U8N Mini-LED 4K TV: was $1,499 now $999 @ Amazon
This Mini-LED TV was so good in our testing we gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars for its super bright picture, built-in ATSC 3.0 tuner and easy to use Google TV software. You only get 2 HDMI 2.1 ports but overall this is a stellar value. Plus, it comes with a free copy of NBA2K25 for Xbox or PS5. (The offer is automatically applied at checkout).
