I really wish they would stop commenting about how 4K HDR only requires 25Mb/s of bandwidth, which while true for commercial streaming (which comparatively sucks btw), it is 100% not when streaming local media using Plex/Emby/Jellyfin media servers. I have 4K HDR/DV movies that have >95Mb/s bitrate, and no 10/100 port is able to keep up, the video is always stuttering, which is why I wish they would move to gigabit ports.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Finding the negative comments on most "connection issues" to most likely be network issues and not typically the TV (software or hardwaare), or any other intelligent device using "Internet Services" (phone, PC, etc.) Check out the selected Internet Service Provider (ISP) that customers buy (experience shows although the ISP will not acknowledge bandwidth problems). Long experience in electronic telecommunication and network administration typically shows (and proves) some inbound/outbound issue with customer's ISP perhaps >70% of the time – is not an Operating System (software) or device hardware problem. This is a general comment meant to apply to virtually any one-star/two-star rating read at the Best Buy website. Probable site-specific connection issue complaints are not helpful in specific device evaluation (TV, PC, phone, etc.) -- and these should be grouped and placed under a unique "Connection Issue" category so those with ISP operations familarity might bypass these unhelpful negative comments.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It is disappointing for Roku to require one must use wifi to achieve proper bandwidth.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Ethernet port is 100 Mbps. A gigabit connection is not needed for 4K HDR video streaming. Even top-tier TVs from Samsung and Sony still use 100 Mbps ports, as increasing the bandwidth will not further improve the streaming experience.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello! To stream in 4K, a user only needs only 25 Mbps of bandwidth connection. Rest assured that you'll be able to stream over wireless in excess of 100 Mbps with compatible equipment. Happy Streaming!
