Today's Dealmaster is headlined by the return of a nice $10 discount on Roku's Streaming Stick+, which is currently down to $39 at multiple retailers. While we saw Roku's 4K- and HDR-ready media streamer drop as low as $29 around Black Friday last year, this deal matches the best price we've seen outside of special events like that.

We've highlighted the Streaming Stick+ and its primary competitor, Amazon's Fire TV Stick 4K, a few times in the past. Though the former has been on the market for a couple years now, it remains a dependable way to stream a massive library of apps, in 4K HDR quality, through an interface that's much simpler to navigate than Amazon's rival. That UI could probably use an aesthetic overhaul, there's no Dolby Vision HDR support, and Roku's status as a "neutral" platform has come into question after recent disputes have prevented users from accessing official versions of newer apps like HBO Max and Peacock (though the Fire TV Stick 4K is missing those, too). It's also worth noting that Google is expected to launch an affordable Android TV dongle of its own in the near future. But for now, if you're a cord-cutter who wants more than the apps built into your 4K TV can provide, the Streaming Stick+ is still speedy, intuitive, and a good value.

If you don't need for a new streamer, though, we also have deals on Razer mice and laptops, Samsung microSD cards, the AirPods Pro, and more. Have a look at our full rundown below.
