Roku Streaming Stick Plus 4K & HDR is down to $36.90, which is a pretty low price if you want an easy way to stream without buying a new TV. This stick plugs right into an HDMI port on your TV and gives you access to popular streaming apps in one place. You do not need a cable box, and you do not need a game console or extra gear. If you have Wi-Fi and an open HDMI port, you are most of the way there. It is a simple way to turn an older TV into a smart TV or to upgrade a basic built-in smart TV that feels slow or limited.

You might want this if you are tired of juggling different remotes and switching between your TV’s built-in apps and other devices. Roku’s big draw is that it stays pretty simple. The home screen is easy to read, and you can move your favorite apps to the front so you reach them faster. Since this model supports 4K and HDR, it is a good match if you already own or plan to buy a 4K TV. Shows and movies that support 4K and HDR can look sharper and brighter than standard HD content, so you get more out of the TV you already paid for. If you are still on a 1080p set, it still works fine now, and you will be ready for a future upgrade.

Roku Streaming Stick Plus 4K & HDR is also a good pick if you like a small, clean setup. The stick hides behind your TV, so you do not have a box sitting on your stand or extra cables in view. It comes with its own remote, so you do not have to control everything from your phone if you do not want to. The remote layout is simple, with clear buttons for basic functions, and many people find it easier to hand to kids or guests than a more loaded remote from a game console or cable box. If you share the TV, that ease of use can cut down on questions like “how do I get to Netflix again?”

At $36.90, this model makes sense if you want a cheap way to fix a sluggish smart TV or add streaming to a second screen, like a bedroom or guest room TV. You can take the stick with you when you travel, too, as long as you have Wi-Fi and an HDMI port where you are staying. For the price, getting 4K and HDR support, a simple interface, and a small form factor is a solid deal. If you just want to sit down, turn on the TV, and start watching without fighting with menus or slow apps, this little stick is made for that kind of everyday use.
