"Here's the twist: while Amazon's own Fire TV Sticks are hitting record low prices during Prime Big Deal Days, the retail giant is pushing Roku devices even lower to clear out remaining inventory from its biggest rival. The Roku Streaming Stick HD has dropped from $29 down to $17, the Streaming Stick 4K fell from $49 to $29, and the Streaming Stick Plus landed at $24 instead of $39."
"Upgrading from the base model to the Roku Streaming Stick 4K for $29 unlocks significant visual gains if you own a 4K TV. This model is HDR (High Dynamic Range) and Dolby Vision capable, two technologies that achieve massive picture quality improvements beyond resolution bumps. HDR provides greater dynamic range between blacks and whites which results in more realistic pictures with higher-contrast levels."
Cord-cutting is increasingly simple as streaming devices proliferate and competition intensifies among Amazon, Roku, and Google. Amazon is discounting Fire TV Sticks while also aggressively lowering Roku prices to clear inventory. The Roku Streaming Stick HD is priced at $17 and targets 1080p TVs, streaming major platforms and including a Roku Voice Remote; it connects via HDMI and draws power from a TV USB port or adapter. The Roku Streaming Stick 4K costs $29 and supports HDR and Dolby Vision, delivering greater dynamic range and higher-contrast, more realistic images for compatible 4K televisions.
