Whether you want a new streaming device to upgrade an old TV or want to equip a new projector with one, Black Friday deals can make you spend less on that new set-top box or dongle. One of the best deals we've seen on streaming gear is the latest Roku Ultra, which is on sale for $79, or $21 off its usual rate. That's the lowest price ever for the 2024 version.
Roku introduced the Ultra 2024 in September. It claims the device is at least 30 percent faster than any of its other players. As such, apps should load quickly and moving around the UI should feel snappy.
The older version is our pick for best streaming set-top box (we're currently testing the 2024 model). Roku Ultra offers 4K streaming with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, as well as Dolby Atmos audio. It supports Wi-Fi 6 connectivity and you can also connect an Ethernet cable.

This model comes with a second-generation Voice Remote Pro, which features backlit buttons and USB-C charging, although Roku says it should run for up to three months on a single charge. Other features include hands-free voice control and remote lost search function. Unfortunately, this time Roku ditched the headphone jack for wired listening, but you can still connect wireless headphones to the Roku Ultra via Bluetooth.
The Roku Channel offers more than 400 free, ad-supported streaming channels, along with on-demand shows and movies. The Roku Ultra is also compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, and AirPlay.
In addition to the latest Ultra, you can save on several other Roku devices for Black Friday. The most affordable of the bunch is the Roku Express HD, which is down to just $18, and the Roku Streambar SE is on sale for $69, just $10 more than its all-time low.
