The 2024 Roku Ultra.

Even though most TV deals you can shop right now will get you a smart TV, there are other reasons why you might want to buy a streaming device. If you need one, we highly recommend going for the Roku Ultra 2024, especially now that it's on sale from Best Buy for only $80 following a $20 discount on its sticker price of $100. It may go back to its regular price at any moment though, so if you don't want to miss out on the savings, you should complete your purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the Roku Ultra 2024 streaming device
The Roku Ultra 2024 was just released a few months ago, so if you want a top-of-the-line streaming device, this is the model you should buy. At its heart is the Roku platform, which grants access to all of the popular streaming services like Netflix and Disney+ through a user-friendly interface. If your smart TV's menus are confusing, or if you want to easily upgrade your non-smart TV to a smart TV, the Roku Ultra 2024 may be the solution you're looking for.
