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
Fast and easy to use, Solid selection of 4K content, Wide variety of apps
Software is beginning to feel dated, Doesn't support HDR, making it obsolete by next year
The Roku 4 is exactly what we'd expect from Roku: a solid media box that plays well with multiple video services. But its only real benefit over the recent Roku 3 is 4K support...

Huge selection of channels (including Google Play and Amazon) that doesn't prioritize one provider over any others, Faster internals, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and 4K support make it more future-proof than other Roku devices, Nice selection of ports, including opti
Requires HDCP 2.2 for 4K streaming, something that not all 4K-capable TVs and receivers will support, A bit pricey compared to the Chromecast, the Roku Stick, or some of the other media sticks out there if all you want is basic streaming, Poor selection o
Abstract: After several years of just updating the Roku 1, Roku 2 and Roku 3, the company that was at the forefront of the current set top box wars is back with its latest device, the Roku 4.As a user of Roku devices since the very first one on the market, there is...
Excellent content selection, Great 4K streaming quality, Comprehensive search features, Remote includes headphone jack
Interface feels dated, No voice assistant or worthwhile gaming
The Roku 4 has a lot of things going for it. The 4K streaming looks gorgeous; the content selection is still king, and the search is one of the best in the business. On the other hand, other than 4K, not much here justifies the $30 bump over the 1080p Rok...
Huge library of content, Easy to set up, navigate, Updated tech specs (4K, processor)
Relatively large box, Imperfect voice search, Roku's most expensive streaming device

Fantastic access to 4K and non-4K content and apps, Superbly build OS platform, Very easy to use, Great connectivity, superb fleshed out mobile app version of Roku OS, Full 4K support with HDCP 2.2 and HEVC
Slightly expensive given lack of gaming features, No gaming features, No HDR support quite yet
Unless you're looking for a 4K streaming media box that absolutely needs to support gaming, then the Roku 4K media box is probably the best option on the market right now for pure passive entertainment options and ease of use. We highly recommend it.Chec...
The Roku 4 delivers 4K video, promising the best-quality video streams available today. It has more 4K-capable apps than other devices and makes 4K TV shows and movies easy to find. The remote has voice search, a unique headphone jack for private listenin
Other devices like Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV offer more capable voice interactions beyond keyword search, and more robust gaming. Most 4K TVs have similar 4K apps already built-in, 4K content is still scarce, new 4K movies are expensive, and image quali
The Roku 4 is the best way to get the most 4K video today, but isn't worth the extra money for most buyers...
The Roku 4 adds 4K video streaming support and some useful interface tweaks for the company's most powerful media streamer yet. But the price is a bit higher than we're used to seeing from Roku...
Quadcore processor for 60fps 4K, Most egalitarian OS
Still pushes MGo, 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...
