Greetings, Arsians! It's Independence Day in the US, so today the Dealmaster is celebrating one of the greatest American traditions—buying stuff—with a roundup of the best 4th of July tech sales he can find.

Some highlights this holiday include LG's 55-inch B8 OLED TV for just $999, which is a great price for a TV that still looks fantastic despite being a year old. Sony's WH-1000XM3 is down to $298, a $50 discount for arguably the best noise-cancelling headphones on the market, while the 64GB variant of Apple's 11-inch iPad Pro is down to $630 at Amazon, which is a new low. Beyond that, we've also got a bunch of 4th of July sales on laptops and desktop PCs, including a GTX 1660 Ti-equipped Asus gaming laptop for $950 and HP's premium 13-inch Spectre x360 for $900.

There are plenty more deals to peruse beyond that, so if you're looking to pick up some new gear in between grilling and heading to the beach, have a look at our full rundown below.
