We have good news for anyone looking to give their old smart TV new life and upgraded features or wants a better streaming experience. Over the weekend, Roku launched a big sale, slashing prices on many of its best streaming devices and dongles by upwards of 40%.
The easiest way to make an old TV feel new is by adding a modern 4K streaming device. You can now get discounts on the Roku Ultra, Roku Streaming Stick 4K, or even the affordable Roku Express HD. Here are the best deals worth exploring.
First up is the all-new Roku Ultra, which launched late last year and is down to its holiday price of only $78 (22% off). After reviewing the Roku Ultra, we came away highly impressed, thanks to it being far better than expected. This is the best streaming box from Roku, its flagship product, and it delivers stunningly crisp 4K, HDR, Dolby Vision, and more.
Additionally, the Roku Ultra is incredibly fast and will be a refreshing change of pace from your laggy old TV interface. You’ll also love the voice-enabled remote, which has a 3.5mm headphone jack for those who want to watch TV without bothering others in the house.
Roku Ultra (2024)
$78 $100 Save
$22
The Roku Ultra (2024) offers a compelling feature set with Wi-Fi 6, HDMI 2.1b, and a snappy user experience. While the UI could still use a more modern update, and the 10/100 Ethernet port is quite outdated, the overall feel of the Roku Ultra is fantastic. The Voice Remote Pro is now backlit and features a quick access button alongside hands-free voice actions and more. Plus, the Roku Ultra can pair to Bluetooth headphones and speakers.
Next on the list and an even better deal is the Roku Express 4K+ for only $24, which is 40% off. As the name suggests, the Roku Express line is for budget shoppers who still want to stream their favorite apps and shows. It’s a great way to upgrade an old TV without spending too much money. The Roku Express 4K+ still comes with the voice remote, streams in 4K or 1080p HD, and offers HDR support. It doesn’t have the latest Wi-Fi specs, but it’s a solid little streamer.
If you want to upgrade your TV streaming experience and home theater sound simultaneously, consider getting the Roku Streambar SE. For only $85, you get a Roku 4K streaming device with HDR support and more built into a soundbar. Yes, this is a soundbar that’ll also turn your TV into a capable Roku streaming platform. It doesn’t come with the excellent Roku Voice remote, but you can always buy one later. Still, this gets you 4K streaming and big sound in one device.
Roku Streambar SE
$85 $100 Save
$15
The Roku Streambar SE brings the most popular streaming service to your TV while vastly improving your audio experience. It combines a Roku 4K streaming stick with a soundbar!
Thankfully, Roku is offering discounts on a few other popular items. The popular Roku Streaming Stick 4K is down to $39, although we’ve seen it drop a little further in the past. Still, this compact device offers 4K streaming, naturally, along with Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and improved Wi-Fi speed and range. As a result, it’s one of the better options in terms of price and performance.
Last, the most affordable Roku Express is only $18 right now. It’ll only stream at 1080p, and the remote isn’t very fancy, but it’s a good little dongle that’ll deliver a decent streaming experience to that spare bedroom or an old TV.
Take advantage of these deals while you can, sideload apps to get the most out of your Roku, and upgrade your TV for all that binge-watching.
