Anyone who wants an easy way to get smart features on their TV should consider buying a media streaming device. Some of the best Prime Day deals are on media streamers this year, so if you're looking for a way to access Netflix from your TV then look no further. 

Although most new TVs come with smart features, not everyone will have upgraded their television set recently, so a media streaming stick or box is the perfect solution. More often than not, it's just a case of plugging it into the back of your TV using an HDMI cable and connecting it to your home WiFi network. You'll get access to all of the apps you could need to stream TV shows and movies, as well as others to play games or get the weather forecast. If they don't have the app you're looking for, most will let you cast the content from your smartphone screen as well. 

Amazon is a big name when it comes to media streamers, their Fire TV Stick and Fire TV Cube are seriously popular devices. But other players like Roku have their own versions, like the Roku Express HD Streaming Media Player and Roku Premiere. Google Chromecast devices are another one to consider, but you won't see them discounted on Amazon for Prime Day.
