Our favorite streaming device is just $29 right now

We’re spoiled for choice when it comes to streaming devices with Amazon, Apple, Google and others all offering compelling options. We’ve tried almost every option on the market and the only device that wins our title of best streaming device is the Roku Express 4K Plus thanks to its balance of advanced features, ease of use and affordability. And right now it costs even less with a 27% discount on Amazon and elsewhere, dropping the device to just $29. That’s the lowest we’ve seen in 2023 and just a few dollars more than its best ever price.

As the name suggests, 4K streaming is offered by this inexpensive Roku streamer with HDR support also built in. Roku’s simple streaming platform is our favorite for most people, providing easy access to the services you know and love like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus, Hulu and more. We particularly like that the platform is content agnostic, meaning it doesn’t push one media streaming service provider over another so you can watch exactly what you want with minimal fuss. . A voice-activated remote is included with your purchase so you can easily find movies or shows to watch, and Apple AirPlay is built in to easily stream content from your iPhone to the big screen. The Roku Express 4K Plus also integrates with your smart home with support for Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, and Google Assistant.

It should be noted that Dolby Vision is reserved for the Roku Streaming Stick 4K and other premium Roku devices. It’s probably not a dealbreaker for most people, especially when the Express 4K Plus is on sale for nearly half the price, but if that’s important to you, you’ll need to opt for a more expensive model.
