The Roku Streaming Stick 4K is back on sale for $29
If you’re in the market for a reliable streaming device to upgrade your TV setup, you’re in luck. The Roku Streaming Stick 4K is currently available at an unbeatable price of just $29. Yes, you read that right – $29! This fantastic offer has been available throughout the holiday season and matches the largest discount we’ve tracked this year.
To put this into perspective, the device normally retails for a hefty $50. However, in recent months it’s been listed for a more affordable $34 at third-party retailers like Amazon. So, you’re not only saving $21, but also getting an even better deal than usual.
The discount is currently available on various platforms, including Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and Roku.com itself. If you’re hoping to pick this up as a Christmas gift for someone special, keep in mind that most listings we could find indicate that it won’t ship until after the holidays. However, you can still order with in-store pickup at participating retailers like Walmart or Best Buy.
The Roku Streaming Stick 4K is our top recommendation in our buying guide to the best streaming devices. While it may not be as fast and fluid as a premium set-top box like the Apple TV 4K, it’s still quick to load up apps and menus, and its compact design makes it easy to plug directly into your TV’s HDMI port.
This fantastic device supports all major HDR formats and popular streaming services (except Twitch), allowing you to access a vast library of content from various providers. You can also beam content to the device using Apple’s AirPlay 2 protocol if you have an iPhone. It’s worth noting that it cannot decode Dolby Atmos audio on its own, but it can pass that audio through to a compatible sound system from apps that support the tech.
One of the key features that sets this device apart is its user-friendly interface. The home screen is structured in a simple grid format, making it easy to navigate and find the content you want to watch. Like other Roku devices, the Streaming Stick 4K also comes with a mobile app that allows for remote control and private listening with headphones.
It’s worth mentioning that while there are ads scattered throughout the UI, Roku is less aggressive about them compared to Amazon’s Fire TV devices.
