Finally Cut the Cord by Snagging My Favorite Roku Stick for Prime Day
The Roku Streaming Stick 4K is now available for $35 -- which is $15 off and a 30% discount -- even before the Amazon Prime Day sale event has officially begun. The Roku Streaming Stick 4K is one of CNET's favorite streaming devices, making this a worthwhile deal on a quality device. My, how things have changed. When it comes to streaming, the stick I trust the most is my Roku Streaming Stick 4K. This small but mighty streaming gadget has allowed me to be a loyal cord-cutter club member for as long as I can remember. Nowadays, cutting the cord is simpler than it's ever been, and becoming a stream-only household is no longer a farfetched idea. If you ever wished for a place to house all your streaming services and keep track of where you left off in any movie or show, no matter where you are, my favorite streaming device is perfect for the job. And if you've been waiting for a sign to make the jump, here it is. I've had my Roku for a couple of years, and my home entertainment experience has changed drastically. Guests never cease to be amazed and always wonder how I do it and whether it is cheaper than traditional cable. From Peacock to Hulu, binge-watching the latest seasons of FX's The Bear, Love Island USA and NBC's Destination X are made easy. All that's needed is a Wi-Fi connection, an HDMI port, streaming services and the Roku Stick to access an endless amount of entertainment. Right now on Amazon, the Roku Streaming Stick 4K is $15 off, bringing it down to $35. But that's not all. The Roku Streaming Stick 4K Plus is also on sale for $10 off, slashing it down to $30.

Whether I'm blasting music on Spotify or watching the latest season of Top Chef, my Roku Streaming Stick has me covered. It can plug into my TV for a chill night in or into my Epson Home Cinema 1080 projector for movie nights or hosting parties. To get the full movie theater experience, I pair my Roku with the Vizio V-Series 2.0 sound bar. An added bonus is that a couple of years back, at a white elephant party, I was secretly gifted a Tzumi Bluetooth Microphone, and hosting karaoke nights hasn't been the same; guests are always impressed. Do I need a 4K TV to use this Roku stick? In recent years, 4K TVs have become more common, but the Roku Streaming Stick 4K is also compatible with older HD TVs. It offers up to 1080p resolution and upscaling from 720p. This just means that you don't need a fancy screen to enjoy a sharper picture while enjoying the entertainment you love. The Roku Streaming Stick 4K is compatible with HD and 4K TVs and more. Roku Can I still access live TV with the Roku stick? The best thing about this streaming stick for me is that I still have access to live TV. Thanks to streaming services like Peacock and Hulu Plus Live TV, I can watch the Food Network or the DirectTV Stream in real time. You might be thinking, don't all those streaming service subscriptions add up? With bundling options and internet providers offering deals with certain contracts, it can actually cost less than cable. I love the Roku Streaming Stick because it's small and portable, and I've never had any problems with it not working. Occasionally, my Roku will reboot for updates or I'll need to change the remote batteries, but that's a small thing compared with a cable box or satellite service outage.

Best Roku Deals: Start Streaming Your Favorite Apps With Some of the Best Gear for Less
In media streamers, Roku hangs around the top of the list. It's one of the most popular streaming brands and rightfully so. It knows what it takes to make a solid streaming stick. It's our favorite interface and a few of them have obviously made it onto our list of the best streaming devices you can buy, which should tell you a lot about the quality of Roku's wares. They're super simple and quick to set up, too. The prowess and accessibility of Roku's products make the brand well worth checking out if you need a new streaming device, especially when you can get one for less than normal. It can be difficult to know which of the different Roku options to choose so to help you find the right one at a great price, we've rounded up some of the best deals available right now below. We'll continue to update this page as offers come and go, so be sure to check back often for the best prices available. And if you're looking to fully overhaul your home entertainment setup, be sure to check out our roundups of the best TV and soundbar deals available. Amazon is offering $11 off this excellent Roku streamer, which is a 28% discount. While it's not the best deal we've seen, it's still a solid one. We like the Roku operating system because it has the most streaming app options, the simplest interface of any streaming platform and the best search. It's also content-agnostic -- it doesn't push any streaming service provider, such as Amazon Prime Video or Apple TV, over another. The Express 4K Plus is one of the cheapest streaming TV options with 4K HDR. (Even if your current TV doesn't support this format, your next one probably will.) Thanks to an AirPlay update, this Roku device is also one of the least expensive ways to connect your iPhone or other Apple device to your TV. See at Amazon With a $49 list price, the Roku Streaming Stick 4K is almost $10 more than the Express 4K Plus. Along with a stick-like design, Dolby Vision HDR is the main difference between the devices -- and it's why the Streaming Stick 4K lists for more than its sibling. Right now, you can snag it for $39 at Walmart. See at Walmart The Roku Express is compact, streams only in HD and comes with an HDMI cable. It lacks a power brick to plug it in, so you'll either have to provide your own or plug the Express into the USB port in your TV. It also doesn't come with a smart remote, so you won't be able to control your TV's power, volume and inputs with this remote. You'll need both your original TV remote and a smart speaker or other receiver if you want to use voice controls. It's a big hassle, so it might make more sense to spend the extra bucks for the Roku Streaming Stick 4K. See at Amazon The budget-friendly Streambar SE is a hybrid soundbar that also doubles as a 4K streaming device. It lists for $30 less than the Roku Streambar and it's about 4 inches smaller than the full-sized counterpart. It also lacks support for Dolby Atmos audio. But for those with limited space or a tight budget, it's an excellent option -- especially at $12 off. See at Amazon

You'll need both your original TV remote and a smart speaker or other receiver if you want to use voice controls. It's a big hassle, so it might make more sense to spend the extra bucks for the Roku Streaming Stick 4K. See at Amazon A combination soundbar and 4K HDR streamer, the Roku Streambar is an excellent way to "smartify" a bedroom TV with improved sound and streaming. This compact speaker will outperform the sound of just about any television, and it's especially good at elevating hard-to-understand dialogue. We've seen it dip as low as $80 during major shopping events, but right now it's only available for around $11 off the list price. See at Amazon Like the Roku Streambar above, the budget-friendly Streambar SE is a hybrid soundbar that also doubles as a 4K streaming device. It lists for $30 less and around 4 inches smaller than the full-sized counterpart, and also lacks support for Dolby Atmos audio. But for those with limited space or a tight budget, it's an excellent option -- especially at $17 off. See at Amazon Walmart's exclusive version of the Roku Ultra is almost identical to the main Ultra and features a similar design, an Ethernet port and support for 4K HDR with Dolby Vision. It comes with a remote that has a headphone jack for private listening. As for the differences between the Ultra and the Ultra LT? With this cheaper option, you'll be giving up Dolby Atmos support, a USB port, personal shortcut keys on the remote and the (very useful) remote finder feature. At its regular price of $80, it's $20 less than the regular Roku Ultra. See at Walmart The Roku Ultra, the company's flagship streamer, offers more conveniences than some of Roku's other models. It features Dolby Vision video, faster response, improved Wi-Fi and a wired Ethernet port -- particularly welcome if your home Wi-Fi is overloaded. The 2022 model is almost identical to the previous versions, but it now comes bundled with the excellent Voice Remote Pro. The Ultra is easy to set up and might be worth the upgrade for anyone interested in a fast streaming device with Dolby Vision and a wired Ethernet port. It's $17 dollars off right now but can occasionally be found for as much as $20 off. See at Amazon
