Solid but...
||Posted .This is great for what it is, meaning it has 4k capabilities and HDR. The downfall is the HDCP 2.2 issue. The screen will turn purple and say HDCP unauthorized... the only way to get that to go away is if you pull out the HDMI cable and put it back in and or rest the roku through the settings. It's a HUGE pain!! Hopefully a software update will help but as of now regardless if you have an HDMI 2.2 cable, 4k TV with HDCP compliance and or HDR support you will have this issue. I will recommend this because it's better than not having anything because it's the only thing on the market that has streaming apps like Netflix, Amazon and VUDU with 4K and HDR CONTENT besides a TCL & Vizio TV. Let's be real though if your a fan of the latest and greatest TV you aren't looking at a TCL or Vizio TV even though Vizio stepped up their game they still are mid to low... I have a Samsung 65KS8000.

perfect from streaming services
||Posted .Excellent replacement for the netflix, sling, hulu youtube built in apps on my TV's. this thing loads everything way faster and when you click a shortcut app on the roku remote, it turns on your TV automatically. the only thing missing is a sleep function or auto shutdown after a few hours that way you dont waste bandwidth if you fall asleep. so far i love it with sling specially.

4k...goes great with that new 4k UHD tv..
||Posted .By far the best streaming device with accessing 4k streaming content currently on the market. Connect an external drive via USB and local content access is a breeze. Download useful apps such as PLEX, Netflix, FandangoNOW and you have a little machine that can serve up beautiful content on the big fancy tv of yours.

Roku - Ultra Delivers
||Posted .I already owned a Roku box. We moved and I couldn't find my old one so I decided to buy another. The Roku - Ultra Streaming Media Player is awesome! Easy to use and smooth with very little buffering. Well worth the additional money. I didn't realize how often I would use the ear phone jack.

very user friendly and excellent improved graphics
||Posted .I love this dvise, with over 5000 applications; It is user friendly, the remote not only can be identified if lost by an alert system, the channels are east to change, the voice command facilitates the navigation of channels and in general an amazing upgrade of on demand technology.

Great picture, when it works
||Posted .The device has a fantastic 4k picture. However, it suffers from the "HDCP Unauthorized" problem which seems to be common with Roku. After watching it for several hours, even in the middle of an episode, the screen will turn purple and display a notification that HDCP Unauthorized. If this were true, I couldn't watch any shows. Additionally, the color scheme will change and half the screen will be one set of colors and the other side will be different. See attached photos. I'll be returning this as neither my AppleTV nor my Amazon Fire Stick have this issue.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
What experts are saying
Q: QuestionHow large a capacity micro SD card can I use in the Roku 4 Ultra ?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Anything over 2 Gig is overkill. The card is used to store games or channel lists. The Roku is a streaming device only, which means you can't download video to the card. There are some exceptions such as a couple of apps that allow you to download videos you've rented or purchased. However, there aren't many. To answer your question straight out, I believe the Ultra can handle a 64 Gig card, but using a card that big is just a waste of storage, IMO.

Q: QuestionHas anyone used this device (Roku - Ultra Streaming) paired with a Samsung 4k TV to watch UHD movies on VUDU? The Roku 4 is supposed to work but I would like to purchase the Ultra instead. Thank-You
Asked by RonMc.
- A:Answer If you notice, the Roku 4 is no longer featured on Roku's site. One of the drawbacks for that model was lack of HDR capabilities. I have the Roku Ultra and it definitely has an option to use HDR onto your HDR capable TV. Note: My TV has HDR set to 'on' so this might be something to take into consideration. The Roku won't magically provide HDR to a 4K TV that doesn't support HDR.

Q: QuestionWhat internet speed is recommended when using this device?
Asked by Karen71.
- A:Answer You should definitely have a broadband connection, whether it is cable, DSL or fiber. That connection should be a minimum of 3 Mbps for SD (standard definition) streaming, and a minimum of 5 Mbps for HD video streaming.

Q: QuestionI just purchased ultra roku and when my husband went to set up a phone number came up to call. They wanted a $59.95 one time set up fee? Has anyone else had this happen and is it legit? Didn't do it but would like to know. Thanks.
Asked by Anne.
- A:Answer I recently installed a new Roku Ultra, and had no similar experience. To my knowledge, the only other charges would be associated with providers such as Netflix, SlingTV, etc. I had no setup fee.

Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between this one and the Roku 4? Did it just get renamed or is there a difference?
Asked by Roger.
- A:Answer Big differences. Better Plex compatibility when playing high bit-rate sources, smaller footprint, cooler running (no fan), auto stand by that works, redesigned remote (better button placement), and up scaling for both 720p and 1080p.

Q: QuestionConsidering buying this Roku. Read some reviews online where people using regular HDMI cable, 4K content was not displayed. Do you need the 2.2 cable?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Ok if you are a Man you know the montra... always go BIGGER whenever you can. and You get your moneys worth. If you put in a substandard product between your Roku and your TV you will get a sub standard picture.

Q: QuestionOur television is a Samsung 8000 led tv. It is not new. Will I be able to use this device and download amazon prime? Right now I can stream Netflix on a google box but not amazon prime. Should I look for another device ?
Asked by Cindy.
- A:Answer I have an old Sony Bravia (8 years old), that runs just fine with the RokuUltra connected via HDMI. Can access AmazonPrime, Hulu, Netflix and various other apps without any issues. AmazonPrime made a change recently in terms of which devices can use their apps (I think Google used to but can't now). The link to see which devices can use the AmazonPrime app is here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=dv_watchanywheredm?&docId=1001423601
