The editors didn't like

  • Added features don't quite justify the premium over the Premiere+
  • Focus on apps over content feels increasingly out of touch
  • Missing HBO Max at launch
  • Limited voice control and smart home integration
  • Expensive
  • Assistant/Alexa support could be better
  • Voice features still lag behind Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant
  • No Twitch app
  • Twice the price of Streaming Stick Plus
  • Weaker voice assistant than Amazon and Google streamers
  • No HBO Max
  • No optical audio port
  • Search and interface haven't advanced much
  • It's more expensive than the Roku Premiere+. Content in 4K and HDR is still uncommon
  • And your HDR TV probably already has compatible apps. Unlike some of those TVs
  • The Ultra doesn't work with with Dolby Vision HDR. Some app interfaces are less polished
  • Should have included an HDMI cable for the price
  • Remote won't suit all users
  • Playback control for music and slideshows is awkward
  • Doesn't play Dolby Atmos from Vudu

  • Small, quiet design, Unparalleled channel selection, Snappy interface, Useful bells and whistles
  • Should have included an HDMI cable for the price, Remote won't suit all users
  • With a $130 price tag, the Roku Ultra had a lot to prove, but in my experience, the device has succeeded in almost every way. The physical product is small and unobtrusive; the interface is snappy and functional; the channel selection is unparalleled, and...

  • Solid 4K HDR performance, Easy to use and setup, USB port for additional storage, Universal search
  • No Dolby Vision support, Very similar to the Premiere+, Minor issues with heat
  • 4K and HDR-ready, Roku Ultra almost sets a new high bar for streaming video players but it's shown up by its more cost-effective cousin, the Premiere+. If you don't mind paying a bit more for a few neat, but somewhat impractical features, the Roku Ultra i...
