Best Buy is handing out free Sony Bravia X90L 4K TVs — heres how to get one

SAVE $1,199.99: Through June 22, Best Buy will give you a free Sony 65-inch Bravia X90L 4K TV when you buy a Sony 98-inch Bravia 5 mini LED TV at full price.
You can usually find some decent deals on TVs at any given time. But even the biggest discounts on record still won't beat free.
If you're in the market for a fancy TV upgrade and want to splurge on a huge 98-inch Sony Bravia 5 — the company's latest mini LED TV — Best Buy will give you a gift: a free Sony 65-inch Bravia X90L. To qualify, add both the 98-inch Bravia 5 and 65-inch Bravia X90L to your cart on the promo page. Best Buy will then automatically apply the discount for your free TV, knocking the $1,199.99 price tag down to a satisfying $0.

So, what's the catch? (There's always a catch). While the deal is straightforward — buy one TV and get another completely free — the catch is that the new 98-inch Sony Bravia 5 comes with quite the sticker shock at $6,499.99. A free 65-inch X90L TV valued at $1,199.99 takes a little bit of that sting out, but that's still a very expensive TV. Granted, our friends at ZDNet (also owned by Ziff Davis) called it the best big-screen Sony TV. "The Bravia 5 is a solid option for creating a movie theater in your own home. The updated Mini LED panel supports automatic HDR tone mapping for console and PC gaming, a 120Hz refresh rate, and enhanced picture and audio processing," their reviewer wrote. In other words, since it's brand-new, you'll be future-proofing your home theater setup and shouldn't have to buy a new TV for many years.
The free Bravia X90L TV hails from 2023 and remains one of the best-performing TVs in its price range. ZDNet wrote that while it "might not set any records for picture quality, it does feature some of the best audio you can get."
If you're already in the market for a new big-screen TV and you're looking to splurge on the latest technology, this is a pretty sweet deal. If you're looking for a more budget-friendly model, we certainly wouldn't recommend dropping $6,499.99 just to get a free TV.
Regardless, both TVs offer everything you've come to expect from high-end models, like excellent picture and audio quality, innovative features like preloaded streaming apps and voice controls, impressive refresh rates, and Sony upscaling. Through June 22, you can upgrade two rooms in your home for the price of a single (albeit expensive) 4K big-screen TV.

A key YouTube feature broke for Android users

You'd think Android and YouTube would work together flawlessly, but early this week, that wasn't the case.
As reported and confirmed by 9to5Google, YouTube users on Android devices couldn't change the playback speed on videos. Changing the speed to anything other than 1x would simply not work, as the setting change wouldn't save, acting as if you hadn't done it at all. Obviously, that's not a great user experience, considering that Android and YouTube are both Google's responsibility. It seems a bit strange for Android users specifically to lose access to a core YouTube feature, but that's what happened.
Thankfully, it seems that as of Wednesday morning, the issue has been fixed, per a YouTube community note. The note states that any users still experiencing the issue should simply close and reopen the app. Hopefully, by doing that, you can fix the problem and get back to frame-by-frame analysis of movie trailers at 0.25x speed.
For once, it paid off to use a Google app on iOS instead.

Him trailer: Producer Jordan Peele turns football practice into a bloodbath

On top of directing horror hits Get Out, Us, and Nope, Jordan Peele has produced several exciting genre projects, from Dev Patel's Monkey Man to Nia DaCosta's Candyman, which he also co-wrote. Next up on his production slate is the football horror film Him, directed by Justin Tipping.
Co-written by Skip Bronkie, Zack Akers, and Tipping, Him introduces promising young football star Cameron Cade (Tyriq Withers). Not only does Withers have acting experience from projects like I Know What You Did Last Summer and Atlanta, he was also part of Florida State University's 2017 football team as a wide receiver. Hopefully his experience playing was nothing like Cameron's in Him, though, because the trailer makes it out to be a full-on nightmare.
After suffering a traumatic brain injury at the hands of an unhinged fan, Cameron thinks his football dream is dead. But when his hero, legendary quarterback Isaiah White (Marlon Wayans), offers to train him at his personal compound, he's excited to accept.
However, Isaiah's training methods are far more violent than Cameron realized. (And football is already pretty violent!) We're talking smashing footballs into players' faces until they bleed as punishment.
But that's just the start of the horrors that await in Him, which demands that Cameron sacrifice everything to be the GOAT he so badly wants to be. Check out the unsettling trailer above.
Him also stars Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, Jim Jefferies, and MMA fighter Maurice Greene, as well as hip-hop artists Guapdad 4000 and Tierra Whack.
Him hits theaters Sept. 19.
