Roku Streaming Stick Plus 4K & HDR is on sale for $36.19, which is a pretty low price for what you get. If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your older streaming box or you’re tired of slow menus on your smart TV, this little stick is an easy way to fix that. It plugs right into an HDMI port on your TV and stays hidden behind the screen, so you don’t need another big box on your TV stand. You just power it, connect it to Wi-Fi, and you’re ready to start watching in a few minutes without much setup work.
This model supports 4K and HDR, so it makes the most of newer TVs. If you have a 4K set, you’ll be able to watch shows and movies that look sharper and brighter than regular HD. HDR support means better contrast and color when the app and content support it, which you can see in dark scenes, bright skies, and colorful movies. Even if your TV is only 1080p right now, you can still use this stick, and you’ll be ready to go if you upgrade your TV later. For a little over thirty bucks, that’s an easy way to add some future-proofing to your setup.
You also get Roku’s simple interface, which is a big plus if you’re tired of clunky menus or apps that crash. Roku keeps things pretty straightforward: big tiles, clear app icons, and not a lot of confusing extras. It works with the popular streaming apps you’re likely already using, so you can keep all your shows and movies in one place instead of bouncing between different devices. The remote is usually very simple too, with basic buttons and quick shortcuts, so you don’t have to mess with long menus every time you just want to watch something.
If you like to travel, this stick can make hotel TV a lot more bearable. Since it’s small, you can toss it in your bag, plug it into the hotel TV’s HDMI port, connect it to the Wi-Fi, and watch your own apps instead of whatever channels the hotel has. At $36.19, Roku Streaming Stick Plus 4K & HDR is a cheap way to bring fast streaming, 4K and HDR support, and an easy-to-use interface to pretty much any TV you run into, whether it’s in your living room, bedroom, or on the road.
