You need a HDMI 2.2
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.According to some websites, no special HDMI cord is needed. The ones being branded as ULTRA HD are over priced and really not needed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I bought the Rocketfish™ - 4' In-Wall HDMI Cable - Black because it is made to work with the 4K content. Below is the description from the product. It works well and I use it to stream from a ROKU 4 (which is also made for 4K). ---Enjoy stunning visuals and crisp, clear audio with this 4' Rocketfish™ RF-HG04501 HDMI cable that lets you connect an HDMI component to an HDTV or projector and supports 1080p and Ultra HD 4K x 2K resolution and 7.1 surround sound.---
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.4K is supported over HDMI.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I've been able to watch 4k content with a HDMI cable that I purchased years ago at Radioshack that was made for 1080p and it looks good. I will have to try a better cable made for 4k but I'm sure it will not make that much of a difference. Perhaps only during high speed video shots.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No special cable needed. However you need good internet speed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It has an HDMI port, Ethernet port, and USB hub. I run 1080p and it's working great. This is not my first Roku, so I am sure if you had a 4K TV and HDMI you could stream the 4K channels. I will say the 4K channel list IS there ready for you to stream. Also, the Roku 4 streams my 1080p more than 4 times faster at 1080p than my Roku 2, so I suspect it can do what it claims to.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You only need to make sure it's a "high speed" hdmi cable.
