    This was an upgrade to a 2018 Roku ultra; works great and love the new voice activated remote. The back lighting on the remote is great.

    It's a Roku! Got it for my mother because it's simple and reliable. This Roku Ultra is fast, has a good wifi connection and a backlit remote. It's just what she needed for her Spectrum cable streaming. There are tons of additional streaming apps available.

    I really like the Roku device. Very easy to use and understand. I have one for the living room and one for the bedroom. The controller is pretty self explanatory too.

    This 2024 version is really a deal @ $79. The backlit remote (also rechargeable) is absolutely perfect. I actually replaved my Apple TV with one of these when the remote suddenly went bad on the Apple. Thankfully I had AppleCare for two years thanks to Total membership and BestBuy N Canton took care of me, which lead to me getting this nee Roku Ultra 2024 edition. Ill include a photo of the remote all lit up so you can see. Its a lifesaver…

    The Glimmer of Excellence: In the ever-crowded field of streaming devices, the Roku Ultra stands out not with a shout, but with a confident, cinematic hum. It's the kind of device that makes you wonder why you ever settled for anything less. The latest Roku Ultra, available at your local Best Buy in Brighton, MI, isn't just a streaming player; it's a home theater upgrade, a masterclass in user-friendly design, and a testament to the power of a truly premium experience. A Visual and Auditory Feast: The first thing you'll notice is the breathtaking picture and sound. With support for stunning 4K, HDR, and Dolby Vision, the Roku Ultra breathes new life into your favorite movies and shows. Colors pop with an almost lifelike vibrancy, and dark scenes reveal details you never knew were there. But it's not just about the picture; the addition of Dolby Atmos support elevates the audio to a new level. You'll hear every whisper and feel every explosion with an immersive, three-dimensional soundscape that fills the room. It’s a sensory experience that rivals a night at the movies, and you don’t even have to leave your couch. The Remote, Redefined: The included Voice Remote Pro is the crown jewel of this package. It's a marvel of thoughtful design. The backlit buttons are a godsend for late-night viewing, illuminating just enough to guide your fingers without being a distraction. The rechargeable battery is a welcome change from the endless hunt for AA batteries, and the built-in lost remote finder is a feature you won’t appreciate until you desperately need it. "Hey Roku, where's my remote?" is a phrase you'll utter with a sigh of relief, followed by a triumphant grin as the remote chirps back at you from under the sofa cushions. The voice control is fast and accurate, letting you search for content across all your apps with ease. Performance that Doesn't Quit: Speed is the name of the game, and the Roku Ultra wins hands down. With its powerful processor and robust Wi-Fi 6 support, this device is lightning-fast. Apps launch in a flash, and navigating the menu is seamless. Buffering is a distant memory. Whether you're streaming in the same room as your router or in a corner of your home with a weaker signal, the Roku Ultra handles it all with grace and without interruption. The added Ethernet port provides a wired connection for those who demand the absolute best in reliability and speed. The Verdict: While some may point to minor software glitches or a price tag that's higher than other Roku models, the Roku Ultra is worth every penny for the discerning viewer. It’s an investment in a superior streaming experience that will elevate your home entertainment for years to come. From its award-winning performance to its intuitive and feature-rich remote, the Roku Ultra is, without a doubt, the best streaming device on the market. If you're looking to cut the cord or simply upgrade your current setup, head over to Best Buy in Brighton, and prepare to be blown away.

    An amazing setup! Should have done this years ago! I have an older smart tv but I bought this for its remote and ease of the menu. A very simple process to set up! And the remote and setup are all handled under one simple operation-no more multiple remotes! The rechargable and voicecontrol remote is just the best. As is the ability to link my headphones wirelessly directly to it. (The box itself can also be linked to wi-fi wirelessly). It even improved the quality of my TV picture, Love it!

    My parents wanted to update the Roku on their main TV. They had an older Roku stick but it was getting pretty slow and not all the apps were working right. If we started a show on an app (Netflix, HBO, Paramount, etc) and paused it, once we started it up again the video didn't match the audio. It was annoying. Anyways, this Roku Ultra went on sale so we decided to get it and try it. And, it works really well! It is much faster than the Stick was, the controller is super nice and the ability to charge it with a phone charger is so much nicer than swapping batteries. The video also seems to be sharper, which I didn't think was an issue with the stick until we started watching stuff on the Ultra. So I would recommend the Ultra. The Stick was nice for what it was, and the ability to kind of hide it. But, this Ultra is just that much nicer without any of the downsides.
