These are the best streaming sticks that you can get on Cyber Monday

Cyber Monday is the perfect time to begin building out your smart home with all of the great deals we are seeing across many categories. But arguably, the first place you should start when building out said smart home is with your TV. Many of the best 4K TVs are already "smart," but they might feature an unintuitive interface and one that isn't the greatest for your needs.

Thanks to the deals that are still available, you can get rid of that annoying interface and replace it with one that you'll actually enjoy using. Some of the best deals we're seeing include saving $20 on the Amazon Fire TV Stick, or you can opt for Google's interface and save a few bucks on the Chromecast with Google TV. No matter which solution you pick, we've rounded up the best streaming sticks that you can find for under $50.
