My favorite price when talking about deals is free, and it truly doesn't get better than this: Sony is offering a new deal that gives customers a free Sony X77L 4K TV with the purchase of one of their brand-new Bravia 8 II QD-OLED 4K TVs. If you're looking to update your home theater setup, this deal is a no-brainer, and getting it is pretty easy.
