Today is the last day of the Amazon Big Spring Sale, and there are still a few tech deals worth checking out, including the Echo Show 8 bundle paired with Amazon Basics smart bulbs. If you purchased it separately from the regular price, you would have paid $163, but the set price is now reduced to $100. This is a 38% discount. If you just want a smart display, the price is $100. That’s about $10 more than the all-time low and a 33% savings.

If you’re just starting your path to smart home greatness, you can think of this set as your starter kit, as the Echo Show gives you voice and everyday control of your new light bulbs. We ranked the previous-generation Echo Show 8 as the best Amazon display in our guide. It strikes a good balance between not taking up too much space and providing plenty of viewing space with its 8-inch screen. We also liked how good it was at handling video calls.
We got a look at this latest version of the display in a demo during Amazon’s hardware event last fall. A new windshield front has been applied and the overall design has been more refined. But perhaps the most exciting update is the introduction of the adaptive content feature. Depending on where you are in the room, the display will show different content. When you’re far away, you’ll see time and weather information in large font, and as you get closer, you’ll see more personalized calendars and news articles.
The light bulb allows you to change the brightness and color of the light bulb by simply speaking into your smart display. You can also use the Alexa app to set a routine to turn the lights off when you say “good night,” or turn them on an hour before sunset.
