Roku Ultra discounted to $69 at Amazon for Cyber Monday

By Simon Cohen Updated April 21, 2022

Roku Ultra (2020) — Roku

When it comes to the world of streaming media players, you won’t find a more capable or fully-featured device than the Roku Ultra (2020). And right now, as part of Amazon’s Cyber Monday deals, the Ultra is at its lowest price of the year — $69. That’s more than 30% off its regular price.

The 2019 version of the Roku Ultra was already a top-notch streamer, but it was missing one very important feature that streaming fans demanded: Dolby Vision. This dynamic HDR format is rapidly becoming the standard for streaming services like Netflix, Apple TV+, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video when they present major movies and TV shows in 4K. If you have a 4K, Dolby Vision-capable TV, the Roku Ultra 2020 should be a top contender as you consider your streaming media choices.

The Ultra’s features go way beyond 4K and Dolby Vision. There’s also support for Dolby Atmos, the leading surround sound format. The streamer has a USB port so that you can access music, photos, and videos from an external hard drive. There’s a lost remote finder button which will cause the remote to emit a beeping sound — which is audible even when wedged between the sofa pillows.

Speaking of the remote, it has controls for your TV’s volume and mute functions and a headphone jack that lets you listen to your streaming shows silently whether you use the included JBL earbuds or your own headphones. There’s also a built-in mic for voice commands — you can ask the Ultra to open your favorite streaming app, search for content with your favorite actor, or simply find you a comedy so you can kick back and relax with some laughs.

Just like every Roku device, the Ultra has access to thousands of streaming apps and the platform is also host to a growing list of free live TV streaming channels that make cutting the cord even easier.

The Roku Ultra (2020) is truly a no-compromises media streamer and now is the best time to buy one.

You can save on Disney+, Hulu, and Starz for Cyber Monday 2024

One of the great things about the top streaming platforms is that their Cyber Monday and holiday deals stick around for a little longer. That's great news if you were busy shopping for all of the incredible deals and discounts elsewhere. You don't have to worry too much about rushing your favorite streaming platform. Not to mention, streamers like Disney+ are a little more benevolent to both new and returning subscribers. As a matter of fact, every Cyber Monday, Disney+ unveils an exclusive Cyber Monday promotion, an annual gift that’s been going strong for seven years. It's back this year, it's still available, and we’ve got the inside scoop on the newest Disney+ Cyber Monday extravaganza:

From now through Monday, December 2, eligible new and returning Disney+ subscribers can add Hulu (With Ads) for only $1 per month, which is about $100 in savings for the year. Subscribers can also choose the Disney+ Hulu bundle, which gives you both services, with ads, for just $3 per month.

The Apple iPad (10th Gen) is down to $331 for Cyber Monday

Are you ready? Cyber Monday is here and the deals are as green as ever. The Black Friday discount from Walmart on the Apple iPad (1oth Gen) is gone but the price is still low. The Wi-Fi, 64GB model is on sale for $331 (down from $349). It's not the most attractive Cyber Monday tablet deal that we've found but a discount is a discount. We're not sure for how long, though. Like with most Cyber Monday deals available, there's a chance that the offer disappears sooner than you think. If you want this device for a more affordable price than usual, we highly recommend buying soon.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad (10th Gen)
The Apple iPad (10th Gen), which was released in 2022, is the latest version of the base model of Apple's tablets. It's featured in our roundup of the best iPads as the one that you'd want to buy if you want to save some cash while still getting a great iPad. It's not as technically impressive as the sixth-generation Apple iPad Air, which tops that list, but the 10th-generation Apple iPad is about half the price while still delivering a really nice user experience with 2360 x 1640 resolution and 500 nits of brightness -- same as the sixth-generation Apple iPad Air -- on its slightly smaller 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display.
