November is officially here, which means Black Friday is just around the corner. But you don’t have to wait until the big shopping event to score some serious savings. We’re already seeing plenty of deals hitting all-time lows ahead of schedule on Amazon.
Though it’s not just Amazon products you’ll find on sale. You’ll even find some stuff discounted that’s in direct competition with Amazon in some cases—like Roku. This streaming stick is a great alternative to the Amazon Fire TV streaming stick, and it’s currently marked down by as much as 40%.
The Roku streaming stick comes in three different variants and they are all on sale for Prime Big Deal Days. To start, we have the Roku Streaming Stick HD. This is the entry-level model that will turn any HDMI-supported TV you have into a smart TV. Content will display at a max resolution of 1080p HD. This streaming stick is 40% off, bringing the price for $40 to just $24.
If you have a 4K TV you’d like to upgrade with a Roku interface, you can opt for the Roku Streaming Stick Plus which adds in support for 4K content. It’s usually sitting at $60, but for at least the next couple days, you can get it for just $50—a 17% discount.
Then lastly, there is the actual Roku Streaming Stick 4K. Like the previous one, this too can display content in 4K but also adds in support for Dolby Vision. This model is down 25% which drops the price from $80 to only $60 for a limited time.
Voice-enabled Remote
With a Roku TV, finding something to watch becomes so much easier. For starters, you’ll have access to all the popular streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, and more. But if you’re in the mood for a particular show or movie, you can just search for it from the home screen to see which app, if any, currently has it. You can even just hold down the mic button on the remote and speak the title out loud saving you the trouble of having to type it in manually.
A nifty way to use your Roku TV you may not have thought to do is to use it while traveling. If you’re on a trip be it for business or vacation, you may want to continue whichever shows you were binging back at home while you are staying at your hotel or rental. You can just take your Roku TV with you, pop it into the TV in the room you’re staying at, and now you’ll have access to all your streaming services you’re subscribed to without having to relog into everything again.
