Discounts are slim on our favorite streamer right now. The only price break we see is a scant $1 off at Amazon, though we’ve seen it on sale for as much as $10 off in the past. 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 one media streaming service provider, like Amazon Prime Video or Apple, 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 those formats, your next one probably will.) Thanks to the AirPlay update, this Roku device is one of the least expensive ways to connect your iPhone or other Apple device to your TV. Read our Roku Express 4K Plus review.

The Roku Streaming Stick 4K can frequently be found for $10 off, but it’s selling at or near full price right now — the most you’ll save is $3 at Walmart. It’s priced at $10 more than the Roku Express 4K Plus, which is the usual price comparison. The differences between the two? Along with a stick-like design, Dolby Vision HDR is the main difference between them, and is ostensibly why the Streaming Stick 4K lists for more than its sibling.

A combination soundbar and 4K HDR streamer, the Roku Streambar is an excellent way to “smartify” a bedroom TV with improved sound and streaming in one fell swoop. This compact speaker will outperform the sound in just about any television, and is especially good at elevating hard-to-understand dialogue. Very infrequently the Streambar’s priced dips to $100, but it’s selling at full price right now.
