Roku 4 - The 4K Streaming Service

The Roku 4 is the first model from Roku to support 4K streaming services. Most 4K TVs already have these apps built in, and the Roku 4 offers no benefits over those versions. It does provide the wide selection of apps that other Roku players do, and it includes a new feature to help you find your missing remote. Most people won’t need this model’s added features today. And considering that it’s almost twice the price of the Roku 2, unless you really need a particular 4K streaming service that the Roku 4 offers, you should probably stick with the cheaper Roku Streaming Stick.

Currently, the latest box also doesn’t support HDMI 2.0a—only HDMI 2.0. This detail will be important in the future when more high-dynamic-range content starts to stream. Roku has been vague on whether it will be able to upgrade its devices to HDMI 2.0a via a firmware update if streaming services require that. The company does say that it’s waiting for the standards to be solidified. The Roku 4 has an optical output, too, so if you own an older soundbar or receiver that doesn’t support HDMI, this is a great feature to have.

Even so, however, most people can save some money today and just get the Roku Streaming Stick.
