With major streaming content providers rolling out bargain prices for their movies and TV shows, it's a good time to pick up a new device to actually do the streaming. There are a ton of devices out there that will hook up to your TV and let you watch Netflix, YouTube, etc., and the shopping holiday deals have made them extremely affordable. I'm talking "less than 20 bucks" affordable.
Here are my picks for the best Cyber Monday streaming device deals.
Amazon Fire devices
Amazon is offering Cyber Monday deals on its Fire line of streaming devices, and there's something for every budget. Each of these devices comes with six months of MGM+ for free.
-
Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite: This cheap-as-chips streaming stick can be yours for the Cyber Monday price of $15.99, marked down from $29.99. It's compatible with Alexa, lets you stream movies and TV from major streaming services and listen to music from Spotify, Amazon Music, and Pandora too. If you pay for MGM+ already, you should buy this even if you already have a streaming device: MGM+ is $49.99 a year, so you'd be saving money even if you never use the Stick at all.
-
Amazon Fire TV Stick: A step up from the "lite" version, this devices streams in full HD. You can watch endless hours of content and stream music too for $19.99, half-off its regular price. It also comes with MGM+ for six months, so the above sneaky savings still apply.
-
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max: Along with the music and movie streaming and support for Wi-Fi 6E, the 4K Max comes with "Ambient Experience" that "lets you display over 2,000 pieces of museum-quality art and photography." Cool, I guess. The Max costs $39.99, marked down from $59.99,
-
Amazon Fire TV Cube: According to Amazon, the Fire TV Cube contains an octa-core processor that is 2X as powerful as Fire TV Stick 4K Max. Not only can you use it to stream movies and music in high definition, it also lets you manage your smart home on screen. It's on sale for $109.99, marked down from $139.99.
Chromecast with Google TV (4K)
The 4K version of Google's streaming device is on sale through Best Buy for $37.99, marked down from $49.99. It features voice control, a recommendation system, kid-friendly profiles, and it comes with six months of Peacock Premium for free.

Roku streaming devices
Like Amazon, Roku is offering Cyber Monday deals on a number of its video streaming devices and has something for everyone, no matter how much or how little they want to spend.

Roku Express: For $21.99, you can have fast, seamless streaming with the Roku Express. It comes with 400+ free live TV channels, and the Roku channel too. It's no frills, but it's easy and cheap.
-
Roku Express 4K+: Amazon is selling the "better" 4k version of the Roku Express for $24.97, not much extra for a definite step-up in quality.
-
Roku Streaming Stick: This tiny streaming stick hides behind your TV and provides limitless streaming choices for only $29.98.
-
Roku Ultra: Roku's top-of-the-line streaming device is selling for $69.00, 31% less than its regular $99.99 price. The Ultra supports Cinematic Dolby Vision picture & Dolby Atmos sound. It comes with a chargeable remote control, and a remote-control-finding feature for when you lose the thing.
-
Roku Streambar: If you need a device to stream video and provide premium audio, the Streambar has you covered. For $99.99, you get both a top-of-the-line streaming device and a decent soundbar. If you want to upgrade to full surround in the future, the Streambar is compatible with other Roku speakers.
2021 Apple TV 4K
Apple's 4K streaming box features 64GB of storage, 4K High Frame Rate HDR with Dolby Vision video, and that special Apple style. It also features Apple Arcade, Apple Fitness+, and Apple Music—in other words, it's the perfect addition to your Apple home. In keeping with Apple's identity, it's fairly expensive at $179.95, but the Cyber Monday price on Amazon is a little cheaper than the usual price of $199.99.
