The Roku Ultra (2024) might just be the most appropriately priced device Ive come across in a while. An Apple TV 4K, which is perhaps the gold standard for streaming devices, is 30 dollars more for its base level but doesnt offer much more for that extra thirty bucks.

The Roku Ultra (2024) has just about everything one could ask for from an external streaming player. It supports all the necessary HDR formats, most notably Dolby Vision and HDR10+, and is quite speedy.

The Roku Ultra LT streaming device is on sale for just $34 at Walmart, down from the normal price of $79.99. That's a 57% discount. Winter weather is coming. Darkness descending at 4 p.m. can feel daunting unless you have something to look forward to during the evening.

Roku device owners can now add a Max subscription to their unified streaming bill by subscribing through The Roku Channel. If you’re a Roku device owner — and there are tens of millions in the United States alone — you likely already know you can watch the Max app on your streaming player without much trouble.
