Gadget Review Daily Deals: Lord of the Rings Extended Trilogy on Blu-ray $43, HP Envy Sleekbook $475, 75% Off Crusader Kings 2

As an incredibly visually oriented trilogy, Lord of the Rings is a joy to watch in Blu-ray quality. Right now the set of all three Extended Editions is only $43 at Amazon. Diehard LotR fanatics are generally very positive about the extras included in the set and say the overall quality of the transfers is second to none.

HP’s 15.6-inch Envy 6z Sleekbook was re-released last week with Windows 8 and a $580 price tag. Today one can take advantage of the $30 instant savings discount and stack a $75 off coupon code on top, dropping the price to $475. A thinly designed machine at a reasonable price.

Today only, Gamersgate offers 75% off Crusader Kings 2, dropping the price from $40 to $10. They also give 75% off all expansions and DLCs – with the exception of the newest Sunset Invasion DLC that released today.

HDTV DEALS

You may have heard people gripe about sound quality on modern flat screen televisions. With the drive to make the thinnest sets, there’s just not enough depth to fit substantial traditional speakers, so if you’re not interested in a full surround system, you were out of luck. That is, until the soundbar came along. These top two LG 3D LED HDTVs come with a soundbar already, so it’s a one and done sensory experience solution. The 42-inch LG set is also 3D, and while there’s no soundbar included, that set comes in at a rock bottom $580. Finally, if you don’t need 3D, 120Hz refresh rate, or similar frills, we found a 40-inch Sceptre that’s just about the cheapest new 40-inch set money can buy.

	55″ LG 55LM4700 1080p 120Hz 3D LED HDTV with Soundbar for $998 with free shipping (next best is $1,080).
	47″ LG 47LM4700 1080p 3D LED HDTV with Sound Bar and 4 Pairs of 3D Glasses for $780 with free shipping (normally $900).
	42″ LG 42LM5800 1080p 120Hz 3D LED HDTV for $580 with free shipping (normally $1,100).
	40″ Sceptre X408BV-FHD 1080p LCD HDTV for $270 with free shipping (next best is $300). Cheapest ever by $10.

MONITOR DEALS

Today in monitors we found a large 25-inch Hannspree screen for only $160, a 24-inch Samsung LED monitor that comes with a $40 gift card, and a Pro Series Dell monitor for $100 after coupon. There’s even a 21.5-inch Alienware monitor for $150 after coupon. As much as people gripe about paying for brands and the derision Alienware products are viewed with by many “hardcore” gamers, this screen has great reviews and sounds like it’s worth every penny for performance.

	25″ Hannspree HF255DPB 2ms LCD Monitor for $160 with free shipping (next best is $164). Cheapest ever by $10.
	24″ Samsung S24B750V 2ms LED Monitor + $40 Gift Card for $230 with free shipping (next best is $300).
