TL;DR: Through Jan. 28, pick up a refurbished Apple TV HD streaming device on sale for $69.97 instead of $149. That's a savings of 53%.
There's an overwhelming number of choices for streaming sites — choosing the device to use for said streaming sites can also be tough. Your streaming stick or box of choice should ultimately depend on the services you want to use, along with the user experience that is most aligned with your streaming habits. But let's face it. If you're an Apple loyalist and wish to stay within its ecosystem, the Apple TV becomes the most obvious choice.
But you don't necessarily have to shell out for a brand-new device. You could stand to save more money if you opt for a refurbished unit, like this new-to-you 4th Gen Apple TV. Through January 28, you can grab it on sale for over 50% off.
This Apple TV may be an older unit, but it's capable of delivering stunning 1080p HD resolution. Sure, it may not let you see Jeremy Allen White's pores in 4K when you binge-watch episodes of The Bear, but you're still getting a full high-definition experience. Powering it is an Apple A8 chip that boosts audio, video, and graphic quality, while its Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 feature delivers impeccable surround sound. With 32GB of storage, you have more than enough space for storing apps and content.
It also comes with a 1st Generation Siri remote with a touch surface that makes it easy to navigate apps with the swipe of a finger. The built-in microphone can pick up voice commands, too, and the Bluetooth connectivity links up to a keyboard for a quicker searching experience. But if you don't want to bother messing with the remote, there's always AirPlay that allows you to stream and mirror any content from your mobile device to the Apple TV.
This refurbished HD Apple TV with Siri Remote normally retails for $149, but through January 28 at 11:59 p.m. PT, you can grab it on sale for only $69.97.
