Roku Ultra
Roku Ultra 4800R – Roku’s fastest, most powerful player delivers streaming movies, shows, sports, and music to your TV (includes earbuds)
Access to the most shows and movies — in full 4K and Dolby Vision
There are so many TV options out there that it’s hard to keep up! And now even blockbuster movies are skipping theaters and going straight streaming services — so you want it all to look and sound its best. The Roku Ultra connects to your TV and serves up the largest selection of video content I’ve seen. That includes the most complete list of 4K and HDR options available in one streaming box. And the 2020 version is the first Roku player that supports content with the advanced HDR format Dolby Vision.
Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video all offer shows in Dolby Vision. Just be warned — ever since I connected a Roku to my LG OLED TV, I’ve become spoiled. Now I only want to watch visually-striking shows like The Mandalorian, The Boys, and Stranger Things in full 4K and HDR.
Faster processing and stronger Wi-Fi
This latest version of the Roku Ultra offers the company’s fastest processing yet, so you should notice smoother performance and less waiting for content to load. They’ve included a more powerful dual-band Wi-Fi antenna, too, so you can get a stronger wireless signal. Especially helpful if your wireless router is further away from your TV setup. (Of course, I always recommend getting as close as you can — or better yet, making a wired connection via the Ethernet port.)
Customize the remote’s “1” and “2” button to instantly pull up a favorite channel or playlist.
Do “smart TV” owners need a Roku?
While most 4K TVs have some streaming services baked in, Roku offers the most complete list of 4K options I’ve seen. Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, and Vudu are all available in 4K. New video services and AppleTV+ are also available with 4K and HDR content.
Plus there’s a ridiculous amount of standard HD streaming channels – movie channels, news, kids, sports, you name it. I use my Roku to watch baseball games on MLB.TV and order UFC pay-per-views on ESPN+. I can’t watch either on my Smart TV without the Roku.
“Point anywhere” remote with voice search
Roku’s remote communicates over Wi-Fi. That means you can store this player out of sight and still have full control. Hit the “Mic” button on the remote, and just say what show or movie you’re looking for.
Roku also includes a pair of earbuds that connect to the remote, so you can watch TV without disturbing others. I find that’s a nice feature to have for late-night movies and west coast sports. I can hear dialogue or play-by-play clearly, and I’m not waking up any of my kids.
My Roku experience: It’s not just for cord cutters
While I’ve dabbled in cord-cutting, I’m currently a cable subscriber. Still, I call the Roku I bought for my bedroom TV the best bang-for-my-buck purchase I’ve made in some time. It gives me on-demand shows from my cable channels like FX, HBO, AMC, and more. So I can watch Fargo or Better Call Saul on my own time — without having to rent another cable box.
Remote app with personal listening mode
Roku’s free mobile app lets you operate the player using your Apple® or Android™ device. You can setup your player, choose what you want to watch, and control pretty much everything from your phone. You can also connect headphones and hear TV sound.
