Cyber Monday streaming video deals: FAQ
Are Cyber Monday streaming device deals really worth it?
Yes, while it might seem like everything is “on sale” all year long, retailers really do slash prices for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. And we’ve found legitimate good deals on every type, from sticks to set-top boxes. TechHive’s editors work hard to point out the best deals we can find, ignoring products labeled as “deals” when the asking price is no different than at any other time of the year.
Are Cyber Monday streaming device deals limited to lower-quality models?
No. We’ve reviewed nearly every one of the on-sale models listed above, and we’re only pointing out products from the top manufacturers—Amazon, Apple, Google, and Roku—and we’re confident these deals are good values. That said, set-top boxes cost more because they have more features and higher performance, although processor power mostly only impacts the speed at which menus load. That said, a low price isn’t an indication of a streaming device’s overall quality.

What are the best Cyber Monday streaming video deals?
We’ve spotted a range of enticing streaming video discounts on Amazon, particularly for its Fire TV sticks, so remember to keep checking back.
Of course, Amazon isn’t alone in offering great streaming video deals for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Best Buy, Home Depot, Target, Walmart, and other big online sellers will often price-match or even undercut the best discounts on Amazon.
Do you need to be an Amazon Prime member to get the best Cyber Monday deals?
Unlike Prime Day, most Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on Amazon are open to everyone, not just Prime members.
That said, Amazon Prime subscribers do get to unlock free shipping for many items, among other benefits (chiefly Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Music, and Prime Gaming).
Amazon Prime costs $14.99 a month, or $139, and you can sign up for a free 30-day Prime trial.
