Get ready for the year's biggest streaming hits with the Roku Ultra 4K Streaming Media Player. Today it's on sale for just $74.73 at Amazon while supplies last, saving you $25 off its usual cost of $100. This 2019 upgraded model features a few new features too.

For a more affordable streaming device, the Roku Premiere 4K is on sale for only $29 via Walmart for a limited time. Though it's a smaller savings of $10, it's still a worthy pickup for those not looking to shell out for the Roku Ultra.

The Roku Ultra is at the top of the Roku lineup, so its latest improvements are designed around making your life even more convenient. One of those upgrades is the Fast Channel Launch, which improves launch times for the top channels on the platform. You'll also get two personal shortcut buttons on the enhanced remote that you can personalize for one-touch control of where you want to go.

The Ultra supports HD, 4K, and HDR. It includes both dual-band Wi-Fi and an Ethernet port for a stronger connection. The included voice remote has buttons for controlling your TV and media, but it also includes a lost remote finder and a headphone jack for private listening. The device comes with premium JBL headphones for just that very purpose.

You can also use the headphones with your smartphone. Download the free Roku mobile app available on iOS or Android. You'll get access to private listening, voice search, and platform control directly from the phone. Plus, like any Roku device, you'll be able to use it to access Roku's smart platform with 500,000 movies and TV shows and access to your favorite streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Now. It also features access to the latest streaming services hits: Disney+ and Apple TV+.

Shipping at Amazon is free on the Roku Ultra, though you could receive your order even faster with Amazon Prime. If you've never been a member before, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial today to see how it is and score free two-day shipping. You'll also gain access to the Prime Video streaming service, exclusive members-only discounts, and more.
