The editors liked

  • Does what the hell it's supposed to do
  • No clutter or confusion. Great channel selection
  • With no glaring omissions. 4K support is forward thinking of not broadly useful quite yet. Voice search is handy at times. So is the remote finding thing. Headphone

The editors didn't like

  • Voice search is basic and hit-or-miss. The Interface aesthetic looks a bit old-hat. MicroSD card isn't as useful as a USB port. Roku's independent appeal is threatened by piling on things like pre-cooked shortcut buttons to particular services and ads in

  • The Roku 4 is just great if youre buying your first streaming box. But maybe not worth a $130 if youre a Roku 3 user. If youre comparison shopping, there is a ton of competition, most of which the Roku 4 matches completely. The biggest reasons to buy a...

  • Almost everything about the design of the unit is smart and well thought-out. I liked the wider footprint coupled with a flatter profile. Plus, the optical audio out connector allows me to run a cable directly to a soundbar without passing a signal throug
  • Right, so almost everything about the design is great… with the minor exception of the new heat and noise problems. When it's on, expect to hear a faint buzzing noise at all times and a solid 20-degree increase in temperature, And while the operating sys
  • If your current streaming situation fits the bill, the Roku 4 is easily the best home entertainment investment you can make in 2015. The device caters to a modern, must-own-everything-immediately crowd that already owns a 4K TV set and comes with a price...

  • Broad channel selection; 4K 60fps support; same remote with voice search; headphone input and motion control
  • Much flatter and wider than Roku 3; outdated interface design; limited 4K content; minor update over last box; no UK release
  • When it comes to streaming 4K content, the Roku 4 offers one of the most compelling solutions out there - well, out somewhere, as it's not available in the UK just yet. But for those in the US it's an ideal way to watch 4K content, if you have a com...

  • Quad, core processor for 60fps 4K, Most egalitarian OS
  • Still pushes M, Go, Audible noise and heat
  • If you own a 4K TV, this is hands down the best video streaming system money can buy, offering more options than any one competitor. If you don't need Ultra-HD and still want some of the same amazing OS, consider stepping down to a Roku 2 or 3...

  • The Roku 4 is just great if you're buying your first streaming box. But maybe not worth $130 if you're a Roku 3 user. (A conversion would put the UK price at around £80, but after VAT is added the device is likely to cost £100) If you're comparison shoppi...

  Published: 2015-10-23, review by: Digitaltrends.com

  • Best-in-class operating system, Best-in-class content search, Extremely handy mobile app, Optical Digital Audio on-board, 4K Ultra HD support with HDCP 2.2
  • No HDR support, Some apps feel dated
  • Apple TV has Siri, Amazon Fire TV has gaming, but the Roku has them both beat when it comes to ease of use, content search and discovery, and portability. There's a place for all of these devices in my home, but if I had to pick just one to live with fo...

  • Abstract:  It's the holiday season, which means millions of people are leaving stores with a new 4K Ultra HD TV. Google and Roku are hoping that they'll also tack something else onto that big purchase: a streaming gadget. Both companies have recently released produc...

  Published: 2016-02-22, Author: Jared , review by: pcworld.com_techhive.com

  • Lots of big-name apps and surprising niche finds, Unrivaled 4K content selection, Remote-finding feature is pretty smart
  • Bigger, noisier, and pricier than other Roku players, App design and interface are showing their age, Voice recognition is less reliable than other streamers
  • With or without a 4K TV, Roku's priciest streaming box is a minor improvement over its cheaper models...

  • Roku has another hit on its hands. The Roku 4 delivers everything that people have grown to love about the Roku platform while adding more functionality (4K), better system compatibility (optical digital output), and new convenience features (remote finde...
