Best Tech Deals This Week: OLED TVs, Power Banks, and More [2025]
If you've been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, this week is it. We're in that sweet spot between major shopping seasons where retailers are clearing inventory and launching targeted promotions. The Super Bowl is coming, which means brands are pushing hard on entertainment gear. Valentine's Day is around the corner, making this prime season for gift-worthy tech. And honestly? The deals are genuinely good right now.
I spent the last few days digging through retailer websites, checking price history, and tracking which products are actually worth buying versus which ones are just marked down because nobody wants them. Some weeks you find incremental savings. This week, you're looking at genuine discounts on products people actually want.
The beauty of this particular moment is the range. You've got flagship OLED TVs getting cut nearly in half. You've got practical power banks hitting all-time lows. You've got gaming bundles that wouldn't exist a year ago. And you've got smartphone accessories that solve problems you didn't know you had.
What makes this different from other sales weeks? Consistency. When retailers run Super Bowl promotions, they're usually cut-and-paste discounts on the same old stuff. This week has variety. There's something here whether you're shopping for yourself, grabbing a Valentine's gift, or preparing for your watch party. I'll walk you through the best finds, explain why each one matters, and help you figure out if it's actually worth buying.
TL; DR
- LG C5 65-inch OLED TV: Down to 2,699), nearly 48% off at Amazon and Best Buy
- Anker 25,000mAh Laptop Power Bank: 134.99), all-time low price at Newegg and Anker
- Belkin Stage Power Grip: 79.99), adds battery and camera grip to phones
- Sci-Fi Shooters Game Bundle: $20 on Humble for 9+ games including Black Mesa and other classics
- Why this matters now: Super Bowl entertainment upgrades, Valentine's gift-buying season, inventory clearance before spring releases
LG C5 65-Inch OLED TV: The Main Event Deal
Why This Price Break Matters
The LG C5 hitting $1,397 is genuinely significant. Let me explain why this matters beyond just "TV is cheaper now." The C-series represents LG's sweet spot between their entry-level B-series and their premium G-series. When you're shopping OLED TVs, you're making a choice about brightness, color accuracy, gaming features, and overall performance.
Here's what the C5 actually delivers at this price point. You get LG's pixel-by-pixel dimming technology, which gives you perfect blacks because each pixel can turn completely off independently. That's the core OLED advantage. You get 144 Hz gaming support at 4K, which matters if you've got a high-end gaming PC. You get HDMI 2.1 bandwidth for 120fps gaming on current-gen consoles. You get a refresh rate that actually matters for sports watching, where motion clarity is everything.
The 48% discount isn't artificial markup inflation. The C5 legitimately retails for $2,699 for the 65-inch model. Retailers are actually selling at a loss or razor-thin margins here. Why? Inventory clearing before the next generation hits, Super Bowl demand generation, and Valentine's Day gift shopping.
LG C5 vs. Other OLED Options at This Price
If you're comparing the C5 to other OLED TVs in the sale category, here's what you need to know. LG's C-series is consistently the best-selling OLED line every year. It's not the brightest OLED TV available. Samsung's S95F beats it for peak brightness, which matters in bright rooms. But the C5 handles brightness better than you'd expect, especially in a dark room where most people watch movies.
The C5's glossy screen is a tradeoff. It reflects light more than Samsung's matte finish, but the colors pop more vividly. If you have a lit living room with windows, the reflections might bother you. If you're setting this up in a dedicated theater room or well-controlled space, the glossy finish is actually an advantage.
The real question: Is the C5 better than a discounted QLED TV? Absolutely. OLED's per-pixel dimming means blacks that QLEDs simply can't match. You'll see the difference immediately, especially in dark scenes. It's not subtle. Once you've seen OLED black levels, LED TVs look washed out by comparison.
The Practical Logistics
Two things make this deal actually work right now. First, Amazon has fast shipping for this TV, meaning you could legitimately get it before Super Bowl Sunday if you order today. Second, most Best Buy brick-and-mortar locations have the C5 in stock. Best Buy's return policy is also generous, so if you buy one and hate how it looks in your space, you've got 15 days to return it.
Installation matters more than people think with a 65-inch TV. This isn't a 43-inch that fits anywhere. You need to figure out your mounting situation. Is the wall studs where you want it? Can you route cables cleanly? Do you need a soundbar? Best Buy's installation services are pricier than DIY, but they handle all of that for you.
The weight is about 50 pounds with the stand, 40 without. You can absolutely handle this solo with a bit of care, but it's a two-person job if you're doing any significant setup.
Gaming Performance Deep Dive
If you're buying this TV for gaming, the C5 is legitimately excellent. The 144 Hz at 4K support means zero compromises if you're pushing high framerates on a gaming PC. The response time is lightning fast. You won't see ghosting or motion blur that plagues standard TVs.
The variable refresh rate support (Free Sync, G-Sync) means your gaming experience stays smooth even when your GPU can't maintain perfect framerates. That's the difference between a TV that feels responsive and one that feels sluggish.
The one caveat: OLED burn-in with gaming. If you play the same game for 12 hours straight with a static HUD, you could theoretically get permanent image burn. In practice? LG's built-in burn-in mitigation and the fact that you're actually moving around games means this is extraordinarily rare. I wouldn't worry about it for normal gaming.
The LG C5 stands out with superior pixel dimming and gaming refresh rate compared to competitors, offering HDMI 2.1 support for enhanced gaming experiences. (Estimated data)
Anker's 25,000mAh Laptop Power Bank: Underrated Workhorse
Why Laptop Charging Changed Everything
Three years ago, the idea of a power bank that could actually charge a laptop was niche. Anker was making power banks for phones. Then USB-C power delivery evolved, and suddenly you could actually push meaningful wattage through a power bank. That changed everything.
The 25,000mAh capacity at $89.99 with the discount code is absurd value. Let me quantify this. If you're charging a MacBook Air, you're looking at about 45W charging. This power bank can handle that and still charge a phone simultaneously. If you're charging a MacBook Pro, you're at 96W, and this maxes out at 100W single-device charging, so you're covered but pushing the limits.
The 165W when charging two USB-C devices simultaneously is where this gets weird. That's enough to charge a laptop and a tablet at full speed. Most people don't need that, but if you're traveling with multiple devices, it's genuinely useful.
The Details That Actually Matter
Capacity numbers are one thing. The stuff that makes this power bank actually better than competitors is the build quality and port selection. You get three USB-C ports and one USB-A port. That's unusual. Most competitors do two USB-C and one USB-A. The extra port means you're not limited by daisy-chaining or hunting for adapters.
The built-in cables are the MVP feature here. You get two USB-C cables integrated into the power bank itself. One is retractable, which saves space in your bag. The other doubles as a handle. That second cable doesn't retract, but it's designed so you can grip the power bank without it feeling weird. Honestly, this design detail is better than it sounds.
The weight is about 22 ounces. That's heavier than your phone, lighter than a laptop. It's a genuine consideration if you're day-packing, but it's not a deal-breaker.
Real-World Usage Scenarios
Here's where this power bank earns its value. You're working from a coffee shop for six hours. Your laptop is at 40% when you arrive. You plug in the Anker, and you're now golden for the whole session. You charge your phone simultaneously from one of the USB-C ports. Your coworker asks if they can charge their AirPods, and you hand them the USB-A port. Everyone's happy.
Or you're traveling. You've got a flight to catch, and your laptop battery is critical. You top off the Anker the night before. During your airport downtime, you charge your laptop to 100%. You're boarding with a full battery and a full power bank. That's not luxury, that's peace of mind.
The cooling is solid too. The power bank gets warm when you're pushing 100W, but not hot. It's doing real work, but it's not going to overheat and shut down. That matters when you're relying on it.
Comparison to Alternatives
The Baseus power banks are lighter and sometimes cheaper. But they're usually single-port solutions. The Hyper Juice options are sometimes more powerful, but they're also more expensive and bulkier. The UGREEN alternatives offer better value if you don't need the built-in cables, but honestly, the integrated cables on the Anker save you bag space and cable hunting.
The all-time low price is the real story here. This power bank regularly sells for
The LG C5 excels in color accuracy and gaming features, while the Samsung S95F leads in brightness. Estimated data based on typical OLED TV performance.
Belkin Stage Power Grip: The Accessory You Didn't Know You Needed
Phone Grips With Built-in Batteries Changed the Game
Belkin's Stage Power Grip is one of those products that seems niche until you use one, then it becomes indispensable. The concept is simple: add a battery to your phone while also adding a proper grip for shooting photos and video. But the execution is what matters.
The 9,300mAh battery isn't massive, but it's enough to give you another full charge cycle for most phones. For an iPhone 14, that's roughly 24 hours of light use, or about 12 hours of heavy social media scrolling. That matters when you're out for the day.
The grip is the real feature though. Using a phone's built-in grip is awkward. You're contorting your fingers around the edges, and you're terrified of dropping it. The Stage Power Grip adds two inches of depth to your phone, giving you actual space for your fingers. Suddenly, holding a phone for 30 minutes of shooting doesn't cause hand cramps.
Who This Is For (And Who It Isn't)
If you're an iPhone 12 or newer user, or a Google Pixel 10 owner, this is directly for you. Belkin made this specifically for phones with MagSafe or the newer Pixelsnap magnetic standard. The magnets are strong enough that the grip doesn't slip even when your phone is loaded with a heavy case.
If you're constantly creating content, this is your product. TikTok creators, YouTube Shorts filmmakers, Instagram Reels people—this is what you need. The dedicated shutter button means you're not awkwardly tapping the screen to start recording. You're holding the camera properly and pressing a physical button. That's professional-grade functionality at an accessory price.
If you just want to check email and scroll Twitter, this is overkill. The bulk might feel excessive. But if you shoot any amount of video or take photos regularly, it changes the game.
The Black Model at $68.39 Is the Deal
The black model is
The grip design is smart. It's not symmetrical, which means you can tell which way is up without looking. The swivel functionality lets you go from vertical to horizontal shooting without taking your hand off the grip. That's the detail that separates this from cheaper alternatives.
Real-World Use Cases
You're at a concert. Your phone battery is at 40%. You're filming the headliner. The Stage Power Grip gives you the battery to keep filming, and the grip means your video doesn't shake from hand fatigue. The dedicated shutter button means you're not fumbling with on-screen controls.
You're hiking with friends. Your phone is your camera and your navigation. You snap photos with the grip (which gets incredible composition because you're holding it like an actual camera), and the battery keeps your navigation running. You're not hunting for a power bank in your backpack.
You're traveling internationally. Your phone battery management is critical because charging ports are unpredictable. The Stage Power Grip is not bulky. It adds minimal weight. Your phone is now a second-generation battery device, and you're also getting professional-feeling shooting capability.
Gaming Bundles and Humble Deals: Why $20 Games Matter
The Sci-Fi Shooters Bundle Breakdown
Humble Bundle is running a "Sci-Fi Shooters 2.0" bundle at $20, and it includes more games than you'd expect. The anchor game is Black Mesa, which is a fan-made remake of the original Half-Life that Valve officially blessed. But there's way more here.
For
Black Mesa alone is worth the price if you've never played the original Half-Life. It's a complete remake using modern engines, so the gameplay feels contemporary, but the level design is pure early-2000s shooter philosophy. The AI is smarter than you'd expect from an old game remake. The weapons feel chunky and real. If you like shooters with atmosphere, this is your game.
Why These Bundles Actually Matter for PC Gaming
PC gaming feels expensive because AAA releases are $60-70 and that's just the baseline. But 90% of the games industry's innovation happens in the indie and mid-tier space at lower price points. Humble bundles expose you to games you'd never otherwise try because the individual price point is too high for experimentation.
You spend $20 and get exposure to 9-10 games. You try three. One becomes a new favorite. That's how you discover games that become classics. That's how indie studios get discovered. That's how the ecosystem actually works.
The logistics are simple: you buy the bundle, you get Steam keys immediately, you download and play. No DRM nonsense beyond Steam's system. No "always online" requirements on single-player games. You own the licenses as long as Steam exists.
The Value Math
Let's break down what this bundle costs relative to normal pricing:
- Black Mesa: $20 standalone
- System Shock: $20 standalone
- Eidos Assassin's Creed titles: $5-10 each, bundle has 2
- Rogue Trader: $20 standalone
- Various indie sci-fi shooters: $5-8 each
Total independent value: approximately
Anker's power bank offers higher charging capacity and more ports than typical competitors, albeit at a slightly higher weight and price. Estimated data for competitors.
The Broader Context: Why This Week Is Optimal for Tech Shopping
The Seasonal Timing Factor
We're in a narrow window where multiple forces align. The Super Bowl drives TV and entertainment gear sales. Valentine's Day makes gift shopping relevant. Major tech brands are clearing inventory before spring product launches. Retailers are competing for traffic before the post-holiday lull fully dissipates.
This doesn't happen every week. Most weeks, you get incremental discounts on old inventory. This week has coordinated brand discounting. The LG TV isn't on sale because Best Buy is desperate. It's on sale because LG wants to move units before the next generation preview (probably June). Anker is clearing the 25K power bank because the 30K model is coming. Belkin has inventory to move before they launch variants.
Understanding this context helps you identify real deals versus artificial ones.
How to Spot Real Deals Versus Marketing Discounts
A real deal has two characteristics: price history and inventory pressure. The LG C5 has been retailing at
Compare that to products where the "original price" is inflated and the sale price is normal. When you see a product that's "
The Reliability Factor
All three major items here come from established brands with solid track records. LG makes displays and TVs as their core business. Anker has built a reputation for power infrastructure that actually works. Belkin is owned by GN Store Nord and has been making quality accessories for 30 years.
When you're buying discounted gear from brand-new companies or sketchy sellers, you're gambling on quality. These are safe bets.
Timing and Logistics: How to Actually Make These Deals Work
Shipping and Delivery Reality
The LG C5 at $1,397 is available at Amazon and Best Buy with different logistics. Amazon typically ships from their warehouse, which means 2-3 day delivery depending on your location. Best Buy's brick-and-mortar inventory means you can pick up same-day in many locations.
For a $1,400 TV, the difference matters. Same-day pickup means no shipping damage risk. Amazon delivery is fast, but a 65-inch TV is a high-value item, and shipping damage, while rare, means returns hassle.
The Anker power bank ships immediately from Anker's direct store or Newegg. This is a 2-3 day arrival. Given that it's under $100, shipping damage is less catastrophic, but it's still worth factoring.
Return Policies and Safety Nets
LG TVs through Best Buy have a 15-day return window. Amazon's return policy is typically 30 days. If you buy the TV and it's not right for your space, you've got time to reverse the decision.
The Anker power bank has Anker's warranty (usually 2 years) and you can return it to Newegg within their window. Power banks are lower-risk purchases—if it arrives damaged, the shipping box usually absorbs impact.
The Installation Question
The LG C5 is 65 inches and 50 pounds with the stand. You can DIY mount this if you're comfortable with a drill and a stud finder. You need to locate wall studs 16 inches apart, use appropriate wall anchors or studs, and route cables cleanly.
Best Buy offers professional installation for around $100-150. That includes mounting, cable routing, and sometimes basic setup. If you're not comfortable with installation, budget for this.

Power Bank Technology Maturation
The Anker 25K hitting an all-time low at $89.99 signals that laptop power banks are mature technology. The fundamental innovation (USB-C power delivery at 100W+) is done. What's left is optimization and refinement. Prices will continue dropping as competition intensifies.
This is the natural lifecycle: innovation (premium pricing), adoption (price stability), maturity (discounting). Laptop power banks are in the maturity phase.
Phone Accessories as Content Creation Tools
Belkin's Stage Power Grip represents a shift in how phone accessories are designed. They're not just "protecting your phone" anymore. They're enabling specific workflows. The grip isn't defensive; it's productive. This trend will accelerate as phone cameras become the creative tool for most people.

Common Mistakes People Make With Tech Deals
The "Sales Pressure" Trap
The biggest mistake is buying something just because it's on sale. The LG C5 is an incredible TV at
Sales create artificial urgency. "Limited time offer." "Stock running low." This is psychological pressure. The deal is real, but the urgency is manufactured. If the LG TV sells out, it'll be on sale again in six months.
Not Checking Compatibility
The Belkin Stage Power Grip works with iPhone 12+ and Pixel 10. If you have an older iPhone or a Galaxy, this deal doesn't apply to you. Spending $68 on an incompatible product is worse than overpaying for a compatible one.
Same with power banks and laptops. A 100W power bank is worthless if you're charging a Chromebook that only accepts 45W. Check specs before you buy.
Ignoring the Ecosystem
The Anker power bank is great, but do you already own USB-C cables? Do you have the right charging brick? If you need to spend another
Calculate the total cost of ownership, not just the headline price.

How to Maximize Your Deal-Hunting Process
Setting Up Price Alerts
If you miss a deal this week but want to catch the next cycle, set up price tracking. Camel Camel Camel for Amazon, Honey for general retailers, Keepa for price history. These tools alert you when prices drop on items you're watching.
The LG C5 will probably hit $1,200 at some point this year. If you're patient and flexible, you can catch that. But that requires tracking infrastructure.
Reading Reviews Before You Buy
The LG C5 has been reviewed extensively. Read the reviews that specifically match your use case. If you're a gamer, read gaming-focused reviews. If you're a movie watcher, read home theater reviews. A TV that's perfect for gaming might not be ideal for movies and vice versa.
The Anker power bank has years of real-world usage data. If there's a common failure point, you'll see it in reviews. Don't just look at average ratings. Read the critical reviews and see if those failures apply to you.
Comparing to Non-Discount Alternatives
Before you commit to a discounted LG C5, check what a discounted Samsung M80C or a non-sale LG G5 costs. Sometimes a non-sale premium product is actually cheaper than a discounted mid-tier product. The math is complex, but it's worth running the numbers.
Checking Return Windows
All three deals have different return policies. Make sure you understand them before buying. A 15-day return window is different from 30 days is different from "final sale." This affects your risk calculation.
The LG C5 TV and Anker Power Bank show significant discounts of 48% and 33% respectively, compared to typical marketing discounts that often inflate original prices. Estimated data for typical product.
The Future: What's Coming Next and Why It Matters
Next-Gen OLED TVs and What They Mean
LG's next OLED TV generation is probably coming in June 2025. It'll have better brightness, better processing, probably better response time. The C5 won't become obsolete, but it will become last-gen pricing. If you can wait four months, you might see C5 prices drop further or G5 prices drop into C5's current range.
But if you need a TV now, the C5 at $1,397 is a genuinely good value. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
Power Bank Technology Evolution
We're going to see power banks get lighter and more efficient. Graphene batteries might finally arrive (they've been "coming soon" for ten years). Wireless charging efficiency will improve. But the $89.99 Anker is solving the problem today, not in some future-tech scenario.
Content Creation Becomes Default
Phone accessories like the Stage Power Grip aren't niche anymore. They're mainstreaming. In 2026, expecting phone accessories that are optimized for video shooting will be normal. Early adopters buying the Power Grip now are just getting ahead of the trend.
Making the Final Decision: Should You Actually Buy These?
The LG C5: Buy If...
You need a TV before Super Bowl Sunday. You have a dedicated viewing space. You game or watch movies frequently. You have $1,400 in tech budget and this is your priority. You've confirmed wall space and mounting logistics.
Don't buy if you're impulse shopping without a concrete use case. You'll regret a $1,400 TV if it's just sitting in your bedroom unused.
The Anker Power Bank: Buy If...
You travel with a laptop. You work from multiple locations. You need reliable power outside your home. You already have USB-C devices that accept 100W+ charging. You want a single power solution for multiple devices.
Skip it if you're stationary most of the time or you work from a single location with reliable power infrastructure.
The Belkin Power Grip: Buy If...
You shoot video content regularly. You have iPhone 12+ or Pixel 10. You want better phone handling for extended photography sessions. You value having a dedicated shutter button.
Pass if you're a casual photo taker and you don't create video content.
The Humble Bundle: Buy If...
You have a PC with Steam. You're interested in sci-fi shooters or gaming history. You're willing to try games you wouldn't normally purchase individually. You have time to actually play multiple games.
Skip if you're short on hard drive space or your backlog is already overwhelming.
FAQ
What makes the LG C5 different from other OLED TVs at this price point?
The LG C5 uses pixel-by-pixel OLED dimming technology, giving you perfect blacks since each pixel can turn off independently. It supports 144 Hz gaming at 4K and has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth for 120fps on current-gen consoles. The C-series strikes a balance between LG's entry-level B-series and premium G-series, delivering excellent color accuracy and gaming features without the G-series price tag. Most competitors at this price point are QLEDs without true per-pixel dimming.
How long will the Anker power bank last before it needs replacement?
Most lithium-ion batteries degrade to about 80% capacity after 500 charge cycles, which is roughly 2-3 years of regular daily use. The Anker comes with a 2-year warranty covering manufacturing defects. After the warranty expires, the power bank will still function, but capacity will slowly decline. Real-world data from owners shows most units last 3-4 years of active use before capacity degradation becomes noticeable.
Will the Belkin Stage Power Grip work with older iPhone models?
The Stage Power Grip specifically requires MagSafe, which means iPhone 12 or newer. It also works with Google Pixel 10 devices that have Pixelsnap magnets. If you have an iPhone 11 or earlier, or a Samsung Galaxy device, this accessory won't attach properly. Check your phone model against Belkin's official compatibility list before purchasing.
Why are these game bundles limited-time offers on Humble?
Humble bundles rotate to allow publishers to clear inventory and reach new audiences. Publishers provide games at steep discounts to maximize volume sales, which generates marketing exposure for newer titles. Once a bundle expires, it usually doesn't return in the same configuration. The publisher prioritizes moving units over maintaining high profit margins, making these time-sensitive opportunities for gamers.
Is the 48% discount on the LG C5 genuine or inflated original pricing?
The 48% discount is genuine. The LG C5 65-inch model has retailed at $2,699 consistently for the past six months across multiple retailers. Price tracking sites confirm this pricing history. The discount is legitimate inventory clearing before the next-generation OLED launch, Super Bowl promotional timing, and Valentine's Day gift-buying season converging. However, the deal is temporary and inventory-dependent.
What's the best way to mount a 65-inch OLED TV safely?
First, confirm your wall has studs at 16-inch intervals using a stud finder. The LG C5 uses a standard VESA mounting pattern (check the manual for exact dimensions). Use heavy-duty studs and appropriate bolts rated for the TV's weight (about 40 pounds without stand). Route cables behind the TV using conduit or cable management clips. If you're uncomfortable with drilling into walls, Best Buy's professional installation ($100-150) includes mounting and cable routing. Never rely on drywall anchors alone for a 65-inch TV.
Can the Anker power bank charge three devices at full speed simultaneously?
The Anker 25,000mAh power bank can charge three USB-C devices at the same time, but charging speeds decrease when you're using multiple ports. Single-device charging reaches 100W. Two simultaneous USB-C devices reach 165W combined. Three or four devices simultaneously means power distribution, so no single device gets maximum wattage. If you need consistent high-wattage charging for multiple devices, this is possible but not optimal for each device.
Should I wait for the next generation of OLED TVs or buy the C5 now?
Buy now if you need a TV before Super Bowl Sunday or for immediate use. Next-generation OLED TVs (probably arriving June 2025) will have incremental improvements in brightness and processing, but they'll come at similar or higher prices initially. The C5 at $1,397 represents genuine value today. If you can wait four months and don't need immediate entertainment upgrades, waiting might yield lower pricing on current-gen models or more competitive pricing on next-gen.
What's the real difference between a laptop power bank and a regular phone power bank?
Laptop power banks deliver significantly higher wattage through USB-C Power Delivery. A phone power bank typically maxes out at 30W. The Anker laptop power bank delivers 100W single-device, which can fast-charge laptops. Regular phone power banks can trickle-charge laptops but can't deliver the wattage needed for meaningful charging speed. If you only need phone charging, a regular power bank is sufficient and lighter. For laptop charging, you need laptop-class power banks like the Anker.
Closing Thoughts: Smart Shopping in 2025
The deals this week represent a convergence of seasonal timing, inventory pressures, and legitimate brand discounting. The LG C5 at
But beyond the specific products, this week is a reminder of how to approach tech shopping strategically. Real deals have price history. Real discounts come with legitimate reasons. Real value comes from understanding your actual needs, not just reacting to marketing pressure.
