I have horrible wi-fi where I live in an apartment. Had to buy a Roku to stream my Netflix and Prime and this was the most wonderful thing that happened to me. I'm 84-was able to set this up and have been thrilled to get my services back. Easy Peasy and a wonderful unit.

We were having problems with our main TV in the living room (an older model) losing wi-fi signal. We thought it must be the age of the TV or something. A Best Buy associate suggested we try this Roku Ultra. After suffering with the problem daily, it has been about 3 weeks since we installed this Roku, and not a glitch since! Highly recommend!

We have been ramping up our streaming service in order to get off our cable. Our new smart TV was buffering a lot, so we bought this Roku device to minimize that. Works like a charm. Fairly easy to set up and no buffering issues since we installed it.

I purchased what I thought was the 2024 version of this Ultra a year ago and found out it was only the 2022 version. The 2022 version had a micro usb for charging and the 2024 a c type charging connection. Also the 2024 is twice the processor speed. It is much better Than the 2024. make sure you get the 2024 version which is the 4850x version. Also the older version which looks the same ran hotter on 4k content. The 4850x seems to have corrected that problem with the better processor.

This item well worth the extra money. It eliminated my occasional buffering problem & the rechargeable backlit remote is a fantastic upgrade from the previous battery remote. I would recommend this product.

I have used the HDMI Roku devices for many years, and they are marvelous. But I just purchased the Roku Ultra for my 4K LG OLED TV. The first thing it did during the install was to raise the TV's levels to maximize my picture quality to match the capabilities of the Ultra. The latest research also recommends using devices like the Roku for streaming, because it will hold the WIFI signal and give the most reliable picture and sound quality possible without tiling, buffering or crashing. I highly recommend this top of the line Roku, it's well worth the extra cost.

Really wanted to love this. And it is great on a few counts.
I namely got it to supplement my Apple TV 4K for the audio pass through feature. This works flawlessly. The backlit rechargeable remote is also fantastic and I find it more ergonomic than the aluminum ATV remote.
But even though both are WiFi 6 compatible, and we have an excellent Asus WiFi 6 mesh network, its WiFi stability is nowhere near as solid as the Apple which has never disconnected once. The Roku disconnected a total of 5 times in the 8 days before I gave up and returned it.
I know Ethernet is the ideal way to connect this but it’s not possible in our home, so if you want great WiFi, unless you’re super close to your router, this may or may not cut it.
It sadly did not in our home.

The Roku Ultra is easy to use packed with pictures the Dolby vision and Dolby Atmos are really good on that. I would recommend this unit over anything in fact it’s just almost as good as my Apple TV is.

Excellent streaming device, that is easy to paired. It is lightweight so I assume it is fragile lol. I love the hdr/dolby vision feature. where you can choose to have it on at all times, only on support content.

I have bought several Rokus. Although I have smart TVs, using the Roku makes my picture quality better. It also makes maneuvering through various apps simpler and quicker. A plus is being able to watch Roku tv channels. The remote is not complicated as other remotes I have used. With Spectrum tv, it is a must. Much better than XUMO.

The Roku Ultra is one of the best streaming devices in the market. The interface is easy and effortless and intuitive. The channel lineups seem to follow logical sequence. I love the speed through which you can find what you are looking for. The newest update was a great improvement and well designed. The only from I have with the box is that my LG OLED remote control does function with the box. Therefore I have to switch between remotes. However I do recommend Roku as great alternative to Apple TV and others.The Roku Ultra is one of the best streaming devices out there. The interface is super easy to use and intuitive.

I have used Roku devices for over a decade and enjoy their ease of use and price point. These have been primarily their stream sticks. I recently upgraded my television to a big screen 4k with a popular brand. So, I bought this new Roku Ultra to enhance my viewing experience. However, after a couple of days, the player began to stall and freeze after streaming for 5 or 6 minutes. After troubleshooting with Roku support it was clear I had a bad unit. No big deal these things happen from time to time. I returned the unit to Best Buy and the return was painless. I now have a second unit in place and all is well! The player's new peppy UI is obvious over a stream stick's and the Dolby Vision and Atmos is superb! I love it and Best Buy made my purchase and return smooth and I cannot praise them enough! Do yourself a favor and pickup the new 2024 Ultra!

Had to buy this to replace our older Roku Ultra that suddenly died after around 3 years of use. Initial set up was easy, however, a few days afterward there was a purple shade to the TV picture. Had to reset the Roku multiple times, including unplugging both the Roku and the TV before the picture returned to normal. After a month, the issue has not happened again. We really like the simplicity of the Roku interface and the consistency of having the same for all TVs in the house. Hope the new model Ultra lasts longer than the previous one.
