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.

Amazon Prime Video free trial: Stream for a month for free
The Amazon Prime Video app icon on Roku.

If you've ever shopped on Amazon -- and these days, who hasn't? -- then you've likely heard about the option for an Amazon Prime membership. This subscription is mostly touted as a way to save on shipping costs when purchasing from Amazon, but it also comes bundled with some other handy features including access to Amazon's streaming service, Amazon Prime Video. You'll find a range of movies and shows to watch, but if you're not sure whether you need yet another streaming service, there is an option for a free trial to see if you like the service before paying for it.
Is there an Amazon Prime Video free trial?
There is indeed an Amazon Prime Video free trial, but it's tied into the Prime free trial, which lasts for a month and may or may not be available to you. To see if you're eligible, you'll need to and check. The general rule is that the Prime free trial (and by extension, an Amazon Prime Video free trial) is available to Amazon accounts that have either never signed up for a Prime trial or have not had Prime -- either a trial or paid membership -- any time in the last 12 months.

The Prime free trial is usually for 30 days, similar to the Hulu free trial. If you're not eligible for the Amazon Prime Video free trial, though, then be patient: Sometimes, Amazon will sometimes offer free trials to its loyal customers, so if you have an Amazon account (but not a Prime membership) and shop on the site regularly, you might find a Prime trial offer sitting in your inbox one day. Often, though, these are shorter seven- or 14-day trials rather than the 30-day trial. Nonetheless, it's obvious that Amazon is a bit more generous with these trial periods than other services -- there's no Disney+ free trial or Netflix free trial, for example, but it's thankfully much easier to get an Amazon Prime Video free trial.

Save 53% on the Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus tablet today
The Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus tablet, with apps on the screen.

Even with discounts, tablet deals can get pretty expensive. If you need a new tablet but you're on a tight budget, you should take a look at this offer from Amazon's Woot for the 2021 release of the Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus. The 32GB model is already relatively affordable at its original price of $150, but a 53% discount brings it down to a very cheap $70. The $80 in savings will only be available for a limited time, which will probably be shorter as we expect a lot of demand for this device. If you don't want to miss out, buy this tablet now.

Why you should buy the Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus
The Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus is a tablet that's powered by the Fire OS platform, which is Amazon's customized version of Android. You'll be able to use voice commands with Amazon's Alexa through the device, and Amazon Prime members will be able to easily access all of the media that comes with their subscription. The Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus features a 10.1-inch Full HD touchscreen, a 12-hour battery life, a microSD card slot that you can use to expand its storage by up to 1TB.
