Roku Ultra discounted to $69 at Amazon for Cyber Monday

By Simon Cohen Updated April 21, 2022

Roku Ultra (2020) — Roku

When it comes to the world of streaming media players, you won’t find a more capable or fully-featured device than the Roku Ultra (2020). And right now, as part of Amazon’s Cyber Monday deals, the Ultra is at its lowest price of the year — $69. That’s more than 30% off its regular price.

The 2019 version of the Roku Ultra was already a top-notch streamer, but it was missing one very important feature that streaming fans demanded: Dolby Vision. This dynamic HDR format is rapidly becoming the standard for streaming services like Netflix, Apple TV+, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video when they present major movies and TV shows in 4K. If you have a 4K, Dolby Vision-capable TV, the Roku Ultra 2020 should be a top contender as you consider your streaming media choices.

The Ultra’s features go way beyond 4K and Dolby Vision. There’s also support for Dolby Atmos, the leading surround sound format. The streamer has a USB port so that you can access music, photos, and videos from an external hard drive. There’s a lost remote finder button which will cause the remote to emit a beeping sound — which is audible even when wedged between the sofa pillows.

Speaking of the remote, it has controls for your TV’s volume and mute functions and a headphone jack that lets you listen to your streaming shows silently whether you use the included JBL earbuds or your own headphones. There’s also a built-in mic for voice commands — you can ask the Ultra to open your favorite streaming app, search for content with your favorite actor, or simply find you a comedy so you can kick back and relax with some laughs.

Just like every Roku device, the Ultra has access to thousands of streaming apps and the platform is also host to a growing list of free live TV streaming channels that make cutting the cord even easier.

The Roku Ultra (2020) is truly a no-compromises media streamer and now is the best time to buy one.

Amazon Echo Show 15 hanging horizontally on the wall.

Some Cyber Monday deals may be available after today, but as of midnight tonight, you can count on the prices of Amazon Echo smart devices snapping right back to the full list price. Whether you look on Amazon or Best Buy, the deal prices will disappear. That being said, today, there are some truly attractive Cyber Monday Amazon Echo deals to be had; just don't forget until tomorrow. Best Buy's Cyber Monday $170 sale price for the Amazon Echo Show 15 smart display cuts $80 off the $250 full price. If you want the current best smart display available, buy it today while you can still save.

Why you should buy the Amazon Echo Show 15
Our Amazon Echo Show 15 review praised the 15.6-inch diagonal measure display on the Show 15, but a large screen alone isn't the whole story. The Show 15 supports multiple widgets, a class of utilities for notes, tasks, lists, schedules, photos, weather, maps, and more that can be pasted and moved around the display by family members. Because the Show 15's display real estate is relatively large, there's enough room for a generous selection of widgets. You can mount the Show 15 in landscape or portrait mode, depending on your wall space and personal preference. With an optional stand for the display, you also can place it on a table, cabinet, or desk.

Why you should buy the Roku Express
The Roku Express is a streaming stick that gives any TV access to the Roku platform.

Just plug it in and you'll be off to the streaming races in a matter of minutes. It connects via HDMI cable, so it'll work with any modern TV, whether or not it has a USB port. It's designed to be taped to the bottom of your TV with a command strip (included in the package), so it will just look like an extension of your TV's frame. You can easily hide all the wires behind your TV so everything stays neat and clean.

Why you should buy the TCL 5-Series 4K QLED Roku TV
The TCL S555 is the new 5-Series model for 2022 which the brand just recently released. For its new 5-Series TVs, TCL went back to the Roku streaming platform, which should be a welcome change for many who were not fans of the Google TV OS found on the 2021 TCL S546 models. Although most of the bugs and kinks seem to have been fixed now with Google TV, the Roku software interface is still favored by many streamers thanks to its simplicity and user-friendliness. The Roku home screen puts all of your most-used streaming apps and input devices right there, letting you easily switch between your cable box, gaming console, media player, or streaming platforms without having to navigate input menus.
