GoKawiilPrime Day is in full swing, but Amazon isn't the only shop with deals. Walmart has a competing sale it calls, in a burst of creativity, “Walmart Deals.” Like Prime Day, Walmart's sale features a range of deals on headphones, tablets, kitchen gear, and other tech. The best part is, there are no members-only deals here, so you can shop without worrying you'll be asked to sign up for one. I've rounded up all the best discounted Walmart buys on our favorite WIRED-tested gear.
If you can't find anything you like, be sure to browse our roundup of the Absolute Best Prime Day Deals, or dip into our Amazon Prime Day live blog for real-time updates.

The best TV for gaming is incredibly accurate, offers near-infinite contrast, and boasts vibrant yet refined colors. Samsung's gaming hub is the best around whether you're playing on a console or cloud gaming, and features an intuitive gaming bar, snappy input response, and a full suite of HDMI 2.1 ports.
Affordable at its regular price, the TCL QM6K is a steal with this discount. The 65-inch model employs QLED display tech for bright colors and good contrast, even from a side viewing angle. Gamers will appreciate the 144 Hz refresh rate for low-latency performance, all powered by the intuitive Google TV operating system.
The best streaming device for most folks, this Roku stick is small, fast, and plugs right into your TV's HDMI port. It's super simple to use and has a handy remote for voice search support.
