The Roku LT is a killer streaming-media box, offering tons of streaming video content, including favorites like Netflix, Amazon Instant, Hulu Plus, and Pandora, for just $50.

You won't get full 1080p HD output or Angry Birds, but for a mere $50, the Roku LT will hook you up with Netflix, Hulu Plus, HBO GO, and dozens of other Web-streaming services. It's the perfect low-cost way to upgrade your years-old home theater.

We love the LT. Gone are the problems of the Roku 2 XS that we experienced once we moved from wired to wireless streaming and the box costs half as much and the picture quality is stunning. While it might not suit living rooms with its reduced resolution ... it's perfect for second rooms.

The Roku LT is a nicely designed product, but a bit too simple.
