Sears might be a company some associate with the older model of paper catalogs and big retail stores, but earlier this year the company showed it is looking toward the future with the launch of a new line of connected home products across its Kenmore, Craftsman, and DieHard brands. It turns out those weren’t the only plans the company had for its in-house brands.

On Tuesday, Sears unveiled a number of new products across those lines, including a new line of Kenmore-branded TVs. These aren’t the most feature-packed TVs on the market, but they include the core set of features that most consumers expect in a modern TV, and are available in both HD and 4K UHD models. This seems to be the latest move in Sears’ plan to offer products for every aspect of your life.

“You can adjust the temperature of your home from your office with a Kenmore thermostat, before returning home to watch your Kenmore TV,” Tom Park, president of Sears’ Kenmore, Craftsman, and DieHard brands, said in a statement. “We’re unleashing the power of these iconic brands by entering into these new categories and introducing connected-home solutions that provide peace of mind — saving time, energy and money.”

The 4K UHD line is branded as Kenmore Elite UHDTV, and features a dynamic back light and Smooth Motion 120 for added clarity in fast-moving scenes, plus Dolby Digital Plus audio. The TVs are available in 50-inch, 55-inch, and 65-inch varieties, selling for $750, $900, and $1,500, respectively.

The HD TV line is simply branded Kenmore HDTV, and is even more barebones than the UHD line, with the main feature Sears touts in the press release being its five picture modes: standard, dynamic, game, movie, and user. The TVs are available in 32-inch, 40-inch, and 50-inch variants, selling for $200, $300, and $400 respectively.,

Disney Plus Free Trial: Can you stream for free in 2024?
Disney+ app on the iPad Air 5.

There is currently no Disney Plus free trial. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. In fact, there hasn't been a Disney Plus free trial for many years. But all is not lost. While you can't get Disney Plus for free, there are quite a few very cheap options. We list all of the tiers and options below: Everything from the $8 ad-supported tier to the $25 Disney Bundle Trio, which includes ad-free Disney Plus, ad-free Hulu and ESPN+. Occasionally Disney has a deal that gets you three months for $6 total, but that's not available right now. We'll keep you updated if it ever comes back.

The best and most reliable way to save is through the Disney Bundle, which sees ESPN Plus and Hulu thrown in for just $15 a month. On their own, Disney Plus is normally $8 per month, Hulu is $8, and ESPN is $10, so this is a great deal.  If it sounds good to you, you should start your subscription now. The price of the Disney Bundle increased to $15 on October 12, 2023.
