Whether you’re cutting the cord for the first time or just upgrading your current streaming device, the

Roku Ultra

is going to provide the best picture quality with your 4K TV. And now, it comes at a great value. Amazon has discounted this top-of-the-line streaming device from $100 to $80. That’s $20 in savings, and Prime members also get free one-day shipping and free returns. We haven’t seen a deeper discount since July, when it was $30 off. And the best-ever price we saw was over Black Friday last year, when the Roku Ultra was reduced 50%.

The Roku Ultra has a quad-core processor and Roku’s best dual-band wireless to effortlessly handle HD, 4K, and HDR streaming. It delivers a vivid picture and sharp resolution that will allow you to get the most out of your 4K TV. Plus, the Roku Ultra comes packed with features you won’t find on a basic streaming stick. The voice remote lets you use a multitude of voice commands to search through channels for the content you want to watch, toggle captions on and off, and set up customized shortcuts. And if you lose it in the couch cushions, just use the lost remote finder feature. You’ll also be able to control your Roku through the free Roku mobile app on your iOS or Android phone or tablet. The Roku Ultra even includes a set of Premium JBL headphones so you can enjoy your streaming content in private. Of course, if you don’t need all those premium features, there are cheaper Roku deals available.

There’s no shortage of streaming content on the Roku Ultra, either; you can stream free TV, get access to live news and sports, and watch more than 500,000 movies and TV episodes on apps like Netflix, HBO, and Showtime. You can even now watch content from Disney+ and Apple TV directly from your Roku Ultra streaming device. More than 12,000 Amazon customers reviewed this popular product, rating it an average of 4.6/5 stars, so you can rest assured it’s up to par.

While this is Roku’s top streaming device, there are other devices that might better meet your needs. Take a look at our best streaming devices for 2020 to ensure you get the perfect product for you. But if the Roku Ultra seems like a good choice for you, you can save $20 on this device right now. Originally priced at $100, it’s now just $80 at Amazon.

How to watch Gervonta Davis vs Frank Martin live stream: PPV cost, time, and more

Davis, Martin, Benavidez and Gvozdyk on a promotional poster.

Gervonta "Tank" Davis (29-0, 27 KOs) is making his long awaited return to the ring this weekend. In June of 2023 he got a decisive win over Ryan Garcia in the highest-selling PPV event since Mayweather-McGregor. Garcia took a knee after a crippling liver shot and couldn't beat the count. Davis has since spent a short stint in prison, which calls into question his readiness for the fight. Frank Martin (18-0, 12 KOs) is undefeated and may try to take advantage of Davis' long layoff.

The co-feature fight sees David Benavidez (28-0, 24 KOs), the undefeated super middleweight who has long sought a fight with Canelo Alvarez, step up to the light heavyweight division and challenge Oleksandr Gvozdyk (20-1, 16 KOs) for the WBC Interim belt. Gvozdyk's only defeat was to Artur Beterbiev, another potential opponent for Benavidez if he wins tonight and decides to stay in the light heavyweight division.

However, Amazon Prime subscribers do get access to Prime Video with their retail subscription, and that has a free trial. There's a catch, though. If you signed up for an Amazon Prime free trial before, or have had Prime, either as a trial or paid membership, any time in the last 12 months the trial isn't available. If you haven't, and you meet the eligibility, you can sign up for a Prime free trial for up to a month.
