"Our favorite 4K streaming device, the Roku Streaming Stick Plus (9/10, WIRED Review), is marked down to just $29 on Amazon, a healthy discount off its already wallet-friendly price. It's easy to use, extremely compact, and priced well under its competitors. It can turn a dumb 4K TV into a smart streaming platform in under 10 minutes with minimal fuss, and there's a reason it's our Editors' Pick for 4K streaming devices."
"It has great picture quality and feature support too, particularly for the price. It can stream content up to 4K, with support for HDR10, and you're really only missing Dolby Vision, a high-end HDR codec that's only found on the most premium televisions (and no Samsung models to date). It has no issue jumping from app to app, and it doesn't get warm like some previous generations."
"The Streaming Stick Plus is surprisingly compact too, with a slim body that's designed to squeeze into an HDMI port without blocking the ports around it. Most TVs have an extra USB port for powering devices like this on the back, which means you won't need to find an outlet or a spot on your entertainment stand. Once reserved for the more premium Roku devices, the updated Streaming Stick Plus now has voice controls."
Roku Streaming Stick Plus costs about $29 on sale and provides an affordable entry to 4K streaming. It is extremely compact and plugs directly into an HDMI port without blocking neighboring ports. It supports 4K streaming and HDR10, though it does not support Dolby Vision. The interface is clean, snappy, and easy to use, making navigation fast and reliable. The device stays cool during use and switches between apps without issue. Most TVs can power it via a rear USB port, avoiding separate outlets. The updated model includes voice controls for searching and playback.
