Streaming the latest TV shows and biggest blockbuster movies is now the go-to way for convenience. It’s also become a lot cheaper over the years with devices like the Roku Ultra streaming box, something that has remained one of CNET’s recommendations for watching TV. Best of all, this is the new 2024 model that has seen a lift in its technology. While Black Friday isn’t here quite yet, it’s great to see the Roku Ultra 2024 has dropped to $80 – within $1 of the cheapest price we’ve seen for this model since its release.Â
The Roku Ultra is at the top end of Roku’s lineup and it has all of the features that you’re likely to need from such a streaming device. Those features include support for 4K streaming, not to mention HDR including Dolby Vision. There’s also support for Dolby Atmos for those with compatible audio systems as well.

That isn’t all, either. This Roku Ultra comes with a rechargeable Roku Voice Remote Pro which does more than let you control what you’re watching. By plugging in the included earbuds you’ll be able to watch your favorite shows without disturbing others, making the Roku Ultra the perfect solution for late-night bedroom TV viewing when you want to get cuddled up in bed throughout the holiday season. The remote also includes quick-launch buttons for popular streaming services like Netflix, Apple TV Plus, Prime Video and Paramount Plus.
This deal is unlikely to stick around for long — be sure to factor that into your buying decision before the price goes back up.
