    I bought this strictly for the access to the Roku Channel. Love how to easily navigate through the menus. Voice control is accurate. Plus the remote recharges with lithium ion battery included.

    Works so well, apps should not be run from a TV. A TV should be limited to a display. After setting up one Roku, it’s easy to set up another (just setup the WiFi and log into it). User experience js solid. Best bang for the buck for sure!

    If you made the terrible mistake of buying a TV that has a weird OS and will not install apps like MotoGP, Victory+ etc, you can buy this for around $100 instead of buying an entirely new TV. It plugs into an HDMI port and saves you a LOT of time, aggravation and money!

    I've always been a fan of Roku. When my home wi-fi started to act up my streaming stick would not work right, so I upgraded to the Ultra 4850R. I hard wired it and it works great on my second TV.

    Super Picture Improvement

    The picture on our 10 year old Samsung 47 inch 1080 TV improved significantly. It is clearer and more 3 D. It is comparable to that we have on newer higher end TVs. This is fantastic because the WIFI signal comes from an old Apple Air Extreme that is connected to an Xfinity gateway via Cat5 wiring and a switch. It demonstrates that this new modern Roku technology works great with both old and new technology. It has put our search for a new TV on hold.

    This is my third Roku device I have bought. The Ultra is the best of the three. If I had started with an Ultra, I would not have to buy the lesser 2 stick models. My mistake. It works well and the new remote is very good.

    My older Roku Ultra had begun to freeze and I was just getting frustrated. Bought this new one, and all is well. It seems faster and I really like the way the buttons light up on the remote which I did not expect.

    No Bezos. No Google Algorithm. Just a screen with a bunch of apps on it. Unparalleled number of services available. Absolute tank of a remote compared to everyone else. Compatible with all your favorite formats. Stupid easy to use. What else is there to say?

    Since I dumped cable my Roku device is the source for my streaming services. It has an easy to use interface with a ton of free content in addition to paid services. The remote is USB-C rechargeable and easy to use.

    This is the best streaming device on the market. It easy to use and it has all the bells and whistles (4K, Dolby Vision etc). The remote has a built in battery and the battery life is great. You can't go wrong with this one. I have 2 already.
