Upgrade your next binge watching session with these Prime Day streaming device deals, which will deliver crystal-clear 4K with Dolby Vision. We've found great Roku and Fire TV deals, and even an Apple TV 4K discount too. This is one of the best times to upgrade your streaming set-up, but the deals will last for only a few more hours.

We're finding a ton of Prime Day deals in the streaming category, and some of these discounts are knocking down the best streaming devices to their lowest price ever. Unfortunately, not all streaming devices will likely get Prime Day sales. And we've also got tips about where to find Chromecast sales, were they to happen.

Roku Prime Day deals: How low will the Ultra go?

Every TV in my house has a Roku Ultra connected to it, with good reason. Sure, it costs twice as much as the Roku Streaming Stick Plus (our pick for the best streaming device overall) takes up more space, but it's so much better. 

That's because of a few reasons, starting with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos audio, two standards that you will want if your TV and audio setup (or your next ones) support them. Then, there's the remote, you get two customizable buttons for shortcuts of your own preference (meaning you're not stuck with the pre-set app buttons Roku gives you), and a headphone jack in the remote for private listening. That way, you can hear what you're watching without bothering others. Admittedly, private listening is also available on the Roku Streaming Stick Plus, but only via the Roku app. 

Right now, the Roku Ultra on sale for $69, which matches the summer 2020 sale pricing for the Roku Ultra. One note: that price was for the 2019 model, as the 2020 model came out in the winter.

That said, we're still hoping Amazon chops the Roku Ultra down even more, to $49. That would match the Black Friday 2019 sale.

Plus, right now, you can save on the Roku Streaming Stick Plus, which is $39 on Amazon right now. It's our pick for the best streaming device, especially if you want to get 4K streaming at under $50 (the standard price for this kind of device). 

Fire TV deals: How low will the Fire TV Stick 4K go?

The various Amazon Fire TV Sticks have sold like hot cakes (ask your parents) over the years due to super-low sale pricing. And right now, the Fire TV Stick 4K is just $24, half off and its lowest price ever. We may not see a Fire TV discount this good for awhile.

If you're looking for an even cheaper streamer, the Fire TV Stick Lite is $17, which matches its lowest price ever. It plays in 1080p, which is perfectly adequate for most streaming apps. 

Look elsewhere for Chromecast with Google TV deals

The new Chromecast with Google TV is a superb streaming device, and one that Amazon does not stock. Chalk this up to another of those weird moments where issues between companies leave the consumer confused. 

However, it is sold at Target, Best Buy and on Google's online store. None of those sites have Chromecast sales at the moment, but that doesn't mean there won't be deals in the near future. Every other retailer online sees what Amazon's up to with Prime Day, and they typically roll out their own deals. We'll keep our eyes open for this.

What Apple TV deals should we expect?

While we love the Apple TV 4K (2021), its eyebrow-raising $179 starting price is its biggest flaw. And we are pleasantly surprised to already see it go on sale for Prime Day weekend. CamelCamelCamel's data shows a complete lack of Apple TV sales in Amazon's history, so the $10 off sale, which has the Apple TV 4K 2021 for $170 is a bit unusual. That said, that isn't the kind of discount we hope to see from Prime Day.

Also, in the past, Apple has had its own Apple TV deals. Unfortunately, it wasn't a discount: instead, the purchase of an Apple TV 4K netted you a $50 gift card during Black Friday weekend 2020.
