- Ecotones Duet Sleep Sound Machine for $77 (expired: price raised)
It's a highly rated device which helps drown out ambient noise, to help you sleep.
Place it next to your bed, plug it in, turn it on, and it listens for ambient sounds such as street noise, construction, trains, car horns, etc.
It does not spit out white noise, instead it plays your choice of rain, wind, waves, fireplace, etc., and adjusts the pitch to drown out noises.

- LG 42" LCD 1080p 120Hz HDTV for $664 (expired)
This model (42LD520) dropped in price because several newer models are available.
Summer is when new electronics products are released, and there are plenty of new HDTVs with new technology.
Some have LED-backlit for local dimming (as opposed to regular LCD which have a uniform brightness across the screen), and some have built-in networking for web browsing, weather reports, and watching streaming videos directly from the TV.
This is good news for someone looking to buy an HDTV and does not need the latest technology.
As always, be sure to read reviews before buying since some models have dropped in price because they are not selling well.
