More from Variety
The new streaming device has been the go-to Roku since it first dropped last May, and is now 27% off on Amazon as part of a surprise sale, dropping the price down to just $29.99. That means you can gain access to its massive selection of live TV channels and streaming platforms, all in sharp 4K resolution, for under $30. This is one of the best options for a streaming device on the market right now and the $29 price point is the cheapest Roku deal since Black Friday.

Roku Express 4K+ Streaming Device
$29.00 $39.99 27% off
Roku’s latest streaming stick gets you content in HD, 4K, and HDR resolution, with built-in technology that optimizes sharpness, clarity and more vivid colors for your TV.
Roku has long been a leader in streaming devices, so it’s no surprise that customers and reviewers have been so pleased with its latest iteration. Like its earlier products, it promises a simple and easy-to-use interface, in addition to fast and responsive controls. Aside from its higher-quality streams, which uses its latest OS10 software for a crystal-clear 4K HD picture, the biggest upgrade is its ethernet support. Unlike the streaming stick, the newest device is compatible with Ethernet adapters for an optional wired connection.
The new software also allows for zippier processing; switching between different platforms such as Disney Plus, Apple TV, Netflix, or Youtube TV, among others, has never been faster. Reviewers have also raved about how well Roku handles Airplay, which can often have buffering issues on other devices. Plus, the updated remote comes with voice control for hands-free browsing.
AMAZON DEAL
Roku Ultra Ultimate Streaming Device
$89.99 $99.99 10% off
Despite the current deal on the the 4K Plus, there might be reason for you to opt for Roku’s other streaming devices. The Roku Ultra (currently 10% off on Amazon) comes with Dolby Vision, for example, which offers bolder highlights and incredible contrast (you can also stream in 4K and HDR10+). Dolby Atmos sound, meantime, delivers a more immersive audio experience, inspired by the same Dolby technology seen in movie theaters.
Roku calls this their “fastest, most powerful Roku player ever.” A bonus: Amazon is offering 90 days of access to Amazon Music Unlimited for free with purchase of a Roku Ultra. See full promotional details here.
