'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping.

Best Walmart Green Monday deals: $400 off TCL Class 5 TV, $260 off Lenovo Ideapad 3i
It was just weeks ago when we rushed to our online shopping carts to checkout all the discounted goodies of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. And after hitting the 'Confirm Order' button, it was only a matter of time before the tracking numbers popped into our inboxes to contain all the anticipation. However, it turns out that many retailers, including Walmart, are still posting out eye-opening deals on our favorite tech gadgets, laptops, TVs and appliances.
If you missed out on the first wave of Cyber Monday discounts, look no further than the list below. We've compiled the best of the best deals from Walmart that are still available today.
TCL makes some solid low-end TVs, many of which deliver crisp and vivid quality. If you couldn't manage to snag a 4K panel this Cyber Monday, this 50-inch 5-Series offering is worth a look. It's currently discounted to $499.99 ($400 off) and comes with all the accoutrements that you'll need for a pleasant movie-watching experience. TCL's models come with Roku baked in, so you'll have instant access to high-demand streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, and more.
It's not the highest end model from Roku, but the LE streaming stick delivers the same smooth, high-definition streaming experience for just $15 ($20 off). Hook this media player to any TV via HDMI and you'll gain instant access to streaming service favorites, like Disney+, HBO Max, and Netflix.
Eyeing a laptop upgrade that won't break the bank? Check out this Lenovo Ideapad 3i deal which fields an Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, 512GB SSD, and an aptly-sized 14-inch display.

It's currently discounted by $260, pricing it well below its competition.
Budget gamers with an eye for a big-screen laptop might want to jump on this Walmart deal before it's too late.

When it comes to premium over-the-ear style headphones, the Bose QuietComfort 45 is a solid alternative to the Sony WH-1000XM4. Toss in a $50 discount and the new $279 asking price is one that will surely entice audiophiles and non-audiophiles alike.
The Oculus Quest 2, or Meta Quest 2 sits at the top of our best VR and AR headsets list, and this Walmart deal on a refurbished, 64GB model is almost too good to be true. For just $200, you can pick up the console and dive into the world of virtual reality. The Quest 2 is compact, portable, easy to learn, and a ton of fun once you put the headset on.
A top deal that doesn't cost top dollar, Walmart has the Lenovo Smart Clock (2nd Gen) on sale for just $24.88 ($50 off). With it, the retailer is bundling in a Lenovo Smart Bulb, which plays in tandem with the clock. For less than $25, this makes for a modernized and helpful bedside assistant, and can even respond to your voice prompts.
