If you care enough to give the very best picture quality, only OLED will do. The C7 will have them thanking you for years. (Note that the B7A, which has a bit of a different stand design, slightly different speakers and lacks Dolby Atmos decoding, is otherwise identical and thus equally recommendable.)

See at Amazon.com
26. Motorola Moto G5 Plus
The G5 Plus is the clear choice for a budget phone. In fact, it's hard to find a better deal on a phone that gives you as much as it does for such a slim price.

27. Apple iPhone SE
Photo by Sarah Tew/CNET

39. Nikon D7500
Photo by CNET
One of our favorite dSLRs of 2017, the D7500 delivers the performance and photo quality of more expensive cameras. It's not a cheap gift, but if you have a favorite action or wildlife photographer who's stuck with a slow or old camera, this will make their year.

40. GoPro Hero6 Black
Photo by CNET
The Hero6 Black has everything we liked about its predecessor -- a waterproof body, excellent video quality, electronic image stabilization, voice commands -- but with a new custom-made processor performance it kicks up a notch. This adds up to faster frame rates for smoother 4K, slower slow-motion video and impressive stabilization.
See at Amazon.com
41. DJI Spark
Photo by Josh Goldman/CNET
The littlest and least expensive camera drone from the category leader, the Spark has many of the shooting and safety features of DJI's pricier models. Out of the box you can fly it with your phone or simple hand gestures for quick aerial selfies just about anywhere, while an optional controller lets you fly it farther and faster.

44. Samsung Notebook 9 Pro

For the same price as a lot of less-interesting mainstream 15-inch laptops, the Notebook 9 Pro packs in extra graphics power, a 360-degree hinge and a stylus, making a very well-rounded package.

45. Alienware 13 R3 (OLED)
Photo by Sarah Tew/CNET
It's not the slickest-looking or more powerful gaming laptop, but it's probably the most impressive. This compact 13-inch has VR-ready graphics, plus one of the only OLED displays you'll find on any laptop. Its screen may be small, but it'll blow you away.

46. Amazon Fire HD 8 (2017)

Budget tablets can easily disappoint as a holiday gift, but Amazon's done the right thing this time around by boosting the performance and cutting the price. If you (or your giftee) has Amazon Prime, it's even more useful.

47. Apple iPad (9.7-inch, 2017)
Photo by Sarah Tew/CNET
Apple's entry level iPad does almost everything the fancier (and more expensive) Pro models do, at a fraction of the price. Unless premium stylus support is a must-have, this is the iPad to get.

48. Microsoft Surface Pro (2017)
Photo by Sarah Tew/CNET
There are a ton of Windows hybrids that try to walk the line between laptop and tablet, but Microsoft's Surface Pro is still the king of that specialized hill. The clip-on keyboard (unfortunately sold separately) is an engineering marvel, and the latest versions are thinner with better battery life.

49. Kindle Paperwhite (2015)

The Paperwhite remains Amazon's best-bang-for-your-buck E-ink e-reader. It hasn't been updated for 2017, so look for it to go on sale during the holidays -- it will.

50. Amazon Kindle Oasis

52. August Smart Lock Pro
Photo by Tyler Lizenby/CNET
August's smart lock is one of our favorites for its easy installation, the ability to assign and schedule an unlimited number of virtual guest keys for free, and the fact that it fits on your existing lock hardware. A new door close sensor in this Pro model lets you know whether or not the door itself is open.

53. Ecobee4

Ecobee surpassed Nest's smart thermostats this year thanks to this model that has Amazon's Alexa voice assistant built directly into the unit. The included remote sensor and the ability to work with every major smart home platform seal the deal.
