There’s really no such thing as a “non-smart TV” these days. Still, there are those of us rocking some vintage AV tech that refuses to die, and many older TVs cannot connect to Wi-Fi. If this sounds like your household, then we’re glad to bring the following offer to your attention: Right now, the Roku Express HD is marked down to $18 from $30. The last time this streaming device was this cheap was July 2024.

We tested an older version of the Roku Express back in November 2019, and reviewer Simon Cohen said, “With everything you need, and nothing more, the new Roku Express is a bargain of a streamer.”

Why you should buy the Roku Express HD

When it comes to streaming apps like Hulu, YouTube, and Disney Plus, Roku has got you covered. When it comes to super-offbeat, third-party apps that focus on specific genres and content types, Roku has got you covered. Yeah, the Roku Channel Store is home to thousands of movie and TV show apps, games, and access to hundreds of live free TV stations. Just plug the Roku Express HD into your TV, connect to Wi-Fi, and you’ll be ready to start streaming! 

The Express HD is small enough to fit in most media consoles, though its line-of-sight design does necessitate a clear path from the included remote to the streaming device. Speaking of remote, the controller even features a few app shortcut buttons for quick-launching services like Netflix. You’ll even be able to use Apple AirPlay to wirelessly beam certain media from an iPhone to your Roku Express.

It’s hard to find a reliable streaming device that costs this little, but the Roku Express HD is the ace in the hole every budget shopper has been waiting for. Save $12 when you purchase today, and be sure to take a look at our lists of the best Amazon deals, Best Buy deals, and Walmart deals for even more discounts on top AV devices.

It consistently delivered the picture quality, gaming performance, and overall reliability that made it one of the safest OLED recommendations available.

Tidal lays down the rules for AI music. I wish Spotify and everyone else would follow
Tidal app showing on iPhone 15 Pro.

Every week, the AI music problem is getting increasingly hard to ignore, especially for streaming platforms. Deezer reported that 44% of all new music uploaded to its platform daily is now AI-generated; that's almost half the songs.

Spotify relabeled and tightened its AI policies last September, while Apple Music announced a tagging approach in March. However, the subscription-based artist-first music platform Tidal has done something none of them did.

Netflix's password-sharing crackdown isn't over just yet. The streaming giant is now rolling out another change that could make shared household accounts a little more cumbersome, this time by asking every profile on an account to have its own email address. While the move isn't designed to stop families from sharing a subscription, it does add another layer of identity verification that many users probably weren't asking for.
