Why is the roku streaming plus better null

There are 3 primary options available. The Roku Streaming Stick, Roku SS Plus, and Roku Ultra, with Ultra being the "best". The basic Roku Stick offers 1080 HD picture and has a smaller receiving range. While it still may receive a signal anywhere you place it in your home, it may be limited or spotty if say, you're placing it far away from your internet source. The other downside, (from what I'm told,) is the remote needs a more direct "line of sight" to register your inputs. Roku SS Plus features 4K picture with HDR. If you own a 4K TV, this is truly your option. Even if you don't and still use a 2K (1080) TV, this WILL still work, and will auto-detect your TV settings during setup. Also, its receiver is powered, so it will pick up your internet signal much better. Roku SS Ultra has all the features of the Plus, but includes an SD card slot and an ethernet port so you can connect directly to your internet, rather than via wifi. We recently began cutting cable, purchasing a TCL Roku TV, as well as a Roku SS Plus for my mother's apartment in our home. We spent a bunch of time ensuring that (with the purchase of the Roku TV included,) the money was well-spent. The TV is an EXCELLENT value, and when it comes to the Roku SS Plus, it was also an excellent purchase. My mother's TV is a 1080, and during setup, the stick detected it and offered settings to choose from, so compatibility is excellent. We've had this for a few weeks now, and there's been no issues. If you own or plan on owning a 4K TV, or if you have areas in your home where the wifi signal is not consistent, the Roku SS Plus is an excellent choice.

The + stick has 4 times the wireless range of the regular stick. You'll get a much better/stronger wireless signal, especially if your TV is far away from the router or if the TV is in a cabinet.

The picture quality is amazing my Intenet is terrible but the Roku Doesn’t have any problems with it it just keep working I am very happy with my Two parcheeses

There are 3 things that make this Roku Stream Stick+ better than the rest. First it transmits in 4K so if your TV can handle this resolution then you can watch your programs in 4K which is amazing. The second thing is that it will walk you through making your Roku remote control your TV as well so now you won't have the clutter of different remotes. And third, the Roku remote you can speak to as well. Once it is programmed with your voice you can control your TV and apps you download onto your Roku stick.

The difference between the roku streaming stick and the roku streaming stick plus is the 4K compatibility. However that's only if you gave a 4K TV.. Also it has a voice search button and a power and volume button to work your tv. It claims to have a wifi range extender. However mine didn't work any further from my router than my 2017 roku express that I paid $30 for.

to the guy above, 2k is not 1080p. It's 4x the resolution of 1080p, and 4k is 4x the resolution of 2k.
