In the post-flat screen era of TV tech, there have been plenty of gimmicks, like TVs that curve and fold. None of these escape the big problem of a TV on the wall—it still looks like a TV on the wall. Enter The Frame from Samsung, which features an Anti-Reflection Matte Display that gives your TV the look of a real-life painting.

Priced at $1,799 after a massive $1,200 Black Friday discount, it’s an eye-watering OLED 4K display capable of transforming mundane movie nights into epic experiences. But set it to Art Mode and turn your living room into a studio gallery. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but this one will leave you speechless.

Some of us refuse to compromise when it comes to an excellent cup of coffee. Sure, you can get on a first-name basis with the only good barista at your local spot, but why tether your live-giving caffeine fix to something as fallible as another human being? Instead, let the most innovative espresso machine in its class do the work for you.

Terra Kaffe’s TK-O2 is the evolution of its popular Tk-01 model. In Terminator terms, this is the liquid metal assassin of automatic espresso machines. A precision frothing dial creates luxuriant foam with almond milk, grass-fed cream, or anything in between. It capably handles iced or hot beverages, cappuccinos, espressos, and serves up both Americanos and drip. And it’s got a whopping $400 discount, down to $1,295 for Black Friday. Now you can be the only barista you’ll ever need.

Joe Torre famously compared pizza with sex, saying “when it’s good, it’s really good and when it’s bad, It’s still pretty good.” Ooni’s new electric pizza oven will certainly provide pies in the good-to-really good range (sex not included). This model forgoes the traditional gas-powered setup for a blisteringly fast electric oven that can cook a raw pizza in just 90 seconds, which makes it great for apartment-dwellers. 

Gift-givers should opt for the bundle at $879—a $212 discount from the usual price. It includes a stainless steel Ooni pizza peel for sliding pies in and out of the oven and an infrared temperature gun for added accuracy. Individually controlled top and bottom heating elements can be controlled via a smartphone app, so you don’t have to worry about charring all that pineapple on top, you monster.

Anyone who says things are getting worse hasn’t spent much time in cannabis culture. The widespread recreational laws have mainstreamed cannabis in the U.S. and led to a bud boom of better strains, lower prices, and NASA-grade vaporizer tech. Known for giving a smoother pull and fewer carcinogens than traditional smoking, dry flower vaping has become a big trend among health-conscious consumers. And one brand rises above when it comes to a premium vape experience.

Storz & Bickel’s German-engineered Volcano vaporizer has been a mainstay on the scene for years, but their latest model is a hybrid that allows users to vape two ways. The traditional baggie-filling balloon style has been expanded to include a hookah-esque tube and mouthpiece setup too. Precision temperature control allows for flavorful low-temp vaping or potent high-temp pulls, controlled on the device itself or via smartphone app. There’s no better way to celebrate the high holidays than with a rare 20 percent price cut (from $699 to $559) on the Rolls Royce of vapes.

Saving the planet never looked so good. Mill’s stylish food recycler is light years beyond that compost bucket under your sink. As more and more cities mandate composting alongside their curb-side trash and recycling programs, there’s never been a better time to invest in a feel-good piece of kitchen tech.

Algorithmically trained grinders and aluminum heating trays turn everything from apple cores to chicken bones into fluffy superfood for your backyard veggie garden or local co-op. A 6.5L capacity means you only need to empty it every few weeks while its carbon-filter odor busting system traps all the funk. With a $200 discount for Black Friday (from $999 to $799), you can turbocharge your summer garden, help out the planet, and save a nice little chunk of change all at once.

Working out in front of a mirror may sound like a nightmare, but the market for fitness mirrors keeps growing. More than mere reflection, fitness mirrors’ sophisticated digital displays offer smartphone-esque versatility, thanks to clever software design. In the past, this tech has mostly been used for modalities like yoga, barre, and pilates. Instead, Tempo caters to folks looking to get jacked and lift heavy shit—while maintaining proper form and technique.

It includes a bench, barbell, dumbbells, and 165 lb of color-coated weight plates, which can be detected by the easel-like 42” touchscreen. If those reps are getting a little too easy, Tempo’s virtual trainer will urge you to adapt your weights in real-time, which is key to building strength and driving results. This bundle, discounted from $310 to $169 per month, lets you pay off the equipment over the course of 12 months.

If you’ve spent any time on TikTok, you’re probably aware that nugget ice is a thing. Colloquially known as “Sonic ice” in a nod to the fast-food chain’s extensive beverage program, nugget ice is softer, chewier, and scientifically better at keeping drinks colder for longer. Not one to miss an opportunity for a great home appliance, GE offers arguably the best nugget ice maker money can buy. And right now, it’s 25 percent off.

The Opal 2.0 starts churning out ice in as little as 10 minutes and can deliver a hefty 1.6 pounds per hour. Wi-fi capabilities (yes, you read that right) allow you to check on your ice from anywhere and schedule production so that you never have to suffer the indignity of a tepid Coke Zero again.

3D printers typify tech for fun. Imagine having a James Bond-style gadget lab at your disposal. There are a seemingly endless number of DIY doodads you never knew you needed, from triangular earbud cases to custom smartphone stands to sunglass clips. Things only get more creative from there with catapults, spirographs, and thousands more designs shared by makers online. You’re going to need a conduit for all this creative energy, and Bambu Lab is here to help.

The Bambu Lab A1 3D printer has automatic calibration, multi-color printing, and an advanced motion control system for high-speed printing. It’s suitable for complete beginners but versatile enough to be the only 3D printer you’ll ever need. Also, it’s $100 off right now.

Let’s face it, the real world can be a bit of a drag sometimes. Isn’t one of the promises of our sci-fi future an immersive holodeck type of experience? We haven’t boldly gone there yet, but the current state of VR is likely a lot better than you’d imagine. 

The Quest brand is a legacy player in the space, and this latest iteration ticks all the boxes. It’s comfortable to wear, user-friendly, and a portable powerhouse that you can take almost anywhere. Gaming is a blast, but don’t sleep on features like streaming theater-sized movies or the impossibly chill mixed-AR art tool, Open Brush. The high-end 512GB model is reduced to $499 for Black Friday—a compelling $150 discount.

There’s nothing like watching a big summer blockbuster in a theater to remind you how important sound design is to creating an immersive cinematic experience. The Arc uses its array of 11 speakers to bounce sound off your walls and ceiling, creating Dolby Atmos 3D audio that enhances everything from movies to music.

This sleek, unobtrusive soundbar easily syncs up with any other Sonos devices you might have in your home, and it’s got a cool $200 discount (from $899 to $699) for Black Friday. Maybe it’s time to ditch subtitles once and for all, and actually start listening to your favorite Netflix series.
