Roku also offers a handy ‘4K Spotlight’ app that brings some of its content to the surface. It may not be pretty but at least it provides a glance at what the box can do.
Since Roku 4 officially made it to the retail market in October last year, it has set the bar in video streaming. The device also works best with a 4K TV, which is already considered as Ultra HD, and with its quad-core processor, it has an amazing OS and capable of streaming 4K videos at 60 frames per second with hardly any problem at all.
For its price of $129, Roku 4 is certainly well worth it as a streaming device considering the kind of quality and superb viewing it offers to its users vis-a-vis its market value.
The Roku 4 is also the most egalitarian streaming set-top box there is in the market today. It does not promote streaming services, it actually allows the consumers a freedom of choice. It does not care if the user picks Netflix over Amazon or Vudu over Hulu, it simply adds variety.
With its closest competition being kept at bay, Roku actually did the almost unthinkable by coming up with a new Roku Streaming Stick, which the company announced recently. The new stick is thinner and longer compared to the first one. It performs well too just like Roku 4. But the difference lies in the resolution where the Roku 4 is way superior.
