Comments

Ahead of Black Friday, Roku streaming sticks are currently on sale at Amazon. If you've been looking for an easy system to stream Netflix, Apple TV+, Prime Video, and more, these devices are great, as they're easy to set up and deliver a sharp picture. Right now, you can get the Roku Streaming Stick 4K and its remote control for $30 (normally $50), while the Roku Express 4K+ package is priced at $25 (normally $40).

There are a few differences between these devices, but overall, you can expect smooth streaming quality, a crystal-clear resolution, and access to dozens of channels. The Express 4K Plus supports 4K HDR streaming media and can connect to your Apple devices, adding to its functionality, and is designed to be placed next to your TV with its small box-like shape. You can even attach a physical internet connection to it, as there are dongles on the market that allow you to wire in an ethernet cable for a more direct system.

In comparison, the Roku Streaming Stick plugs right into your TV and offers an added visual feature in the form of Dolby Vision support. If your TV supports this advanced Dolby content, then you're in for a visual treat. Setting it up is simple and the Roku interface is well designed, but you'll need to ensure that you have a strong wireless signal near your TV as this stick has no options for an ethernet connection.

For a few more tech deals, you can check out this huge $500 discount on the excellent Surface Pro 9 tablet and Meta Quest 2 headsets have been marked down by $50 at major retailers.
