Ok. This is going to be long…but maybe something through my experience will help you solve something faster than me. I ended up with the Sony x800g 75” led 4k UHD HDR10 tv. Lots of numbers there. And often times you will hear stuff used interchangeably. • 4k isn’t all the same. So the term 4k related to the number of pixels on your screen. o 1080p was previous HD (high definition) and was 1920x1080 pixels. o 4k is generally 3840x2160 • UHD is ultra high definition which also refers to the resolution of 3840x2160, however there are two versions of this. o One is 30hz. Normal movies and tv look “normal” o 60hz is great for action movies and fast movement such as sports • HDR/HDR10 also has two versions, but in simple terms, HDR is used to describe a certain grouping of picture settings to make your 4k look better. Higher contrast rates(darker black and whiter white). However there are 2 versions of this also o 30hz for traditional movies and tv o 60hz is great for those action movies and sports. What happened for me. It was time for a new tv. I already had a Yamaha surround sound receiver that all my consoles, and fire/roku sticks, and blueray players plugged into, and one single cable going to my tv. So the setup of a new tv was going to be fairly painless. Find the tv, buy the tv, remove the old tv and replace it with the new one. I got home, got the new one in place and hooked up with one hdmi connection…and it didn’t do 4k. WTF! So I did some research and realized the roku stick that we use for amazon prime, hulu, and Netflix…wasn’t 4k compatible. So I went online, ordered a Roku Premier. I got it the next day, thanks amazon. Hooked it up, and it worked well…but the remote had to be line of site with the roku box. Unfortunately, my home theater setup made this a huge pain in the butt because the roku was hidden behind the Yamaha surround sound receiver. So, I returned this and ordered the Roku Streaming Stick +. Because these are meant to plug in behind the tv or to a surround sound receiver. This in place, and I ran the setup on the roku stick for display and it would do 4k uhd but only in 30hz. Fearing I had bought the wrong one. I took it upstairs to my lg 40” tv and plugged it in, turned on the tv. And the tv recognized the roku stick and I saw the screen go from normal black screen (kinda dark grey really) to true solid black with the HDR logo flashing on screen. When it showed the roku menu, I ran the same display setup and it clicked green check marks next to 4k uhd 30hz, 4k uhd 60hz, 4k hdr 30hz, and 4k hdr 60hz. And the movies (6 underground on Netflix) was just a freaking work of art. So now I knew that it was not the roku stick. So doing more research I found out that my Yamaha rx-v685 surround sound receiver would accept this beautiful signal and would pass through 4k but that the configuration had to be adjusted to do this. So I dug around in the menu, found the setting and clicked it into 4k. It looked okay on the new screen, but didn’t look amazing. So I went back to the google, and found out that my receiver would pass through only 4k uhd 30hz. So…it would look okay. But wouldn’t be jaw dropping. Did some research and found that I needed to buy the newer version of the receiver the RX-v683BL, that was $400 on ebay for a new in box one. It showed up a week later in a damaged box, but was fine cosmetically and functionally. I installed this new receiver with all the same connections and such. And ran the same roku display test, got it to do 4k uhd 30hz, and 4k uhd 60hz but it wouldn’t do 4k hdr 30 or 60. Annoyed at this point, I started scouring everything I could, and started seeing that folks said they solved this problem with better cables. I figured why not. So I found a set that had great reviews on amazon (info below) and those showed up two days later. I ran one of these from the new Yamaha receiver to the tv. Because the roku stick plugged in directly to a port on the back of the tv. Ran the test and got the 4k uhd’s working but only the 4k hdr 30hz working. I wanted the last step because I wanted the 4k resolution with the hdr picture quality with the 60 hz for high speed smooth movements. Annoyed again, I found that the tv instead of using HDMI port 1, needed to have me use HDMI port 2 or 3. I tried that, same. Then I went into the menu for the tv and found that there was a picture setting under settings>watch tv>external inputs>hdmi signal format>select the port 2 I was plugged into now and change it from standard to enhanced 4:4:4 or 4:2:2 mode. Tried again, the image was looking better but the roku still wouldn’t let me have the 4k hdr 60hz. So I checked the Yamaha receiver and the HDMI mode had to be in mode 1 as well as the roku stick had to be in ports 1-5. I ran the test again…still no luck. A final run at google and someone said there was a buried adjustment within the settings>advanced system settings>HDMI output and it also had to be set to the 4:4:4 or 4:2:2. Ran the settings and success! So when I boil it all down, when hooking something up to a 4k UHD HDR10(60hz) tv you need to have the correct device, the correct settings on the device, the right cable, the right port plugged in for the device, and also have the settings enabled for that device. I know that was long winded, but I figure I’ll use this story in the amazon review and maybe it helps someone sometime.

Been using ROKU for over a decade now and still have no issues. The price is great and the product is great.

I'm a long-time Roku user, having purchased devices from every generation throughout Roku's evolution. I've had the very original Roku N1100, Roku 2 XD, Roku 2 XS, Roku 3 (2013 version), Roku 4, a TCL Roku TV, Roku Ultra (2016 version)...and now this Stick +. While I've only had it for a couple of days now, this might be the best Roku I've seen from a value perspective. My house is a Roku house. We have 5 televisions but don't have a cable or satellite subscription.. One of the TV's is a Roku TV and the other 4 all have a Roku attached to them. Literally everything we watch is delivered via the Roku. Our OTA material is delivered from a Tablo DVR to our Rokus. Our local media is served up via a Plex server to the Rokus. We also have PS Vue, Netflix, Amazon video, etc. etc. Bottom line, we use Roku a lot, and I'm very familiar with them. I wouldn't consider myself to be a Roku "fan boy", though. While most of the Roku's I've had have been great...there have been some clunkers. The Roku 2XS was a turd that never got any better. The Roku 4 was a turd at the start, but gradually got better with each subsequent firmware update. Unfortunately, the cooling fan in one of my Roku 4s (The 4 was the only Roku model to ever have one) has begun to make the dreaded "grinding" noise in recent weeks, so I decided to try replace it with a stick+. I've generally been leery about all of the "stick" form-factor devices. They've generally lagged behind the more traditional "box" form-factor devices as far as specs go. The Stick+, with its quad-core processor, HEVC support, and 4K capabilities convinced me that the gap may have finally been closed. So, after a couple of days with the Stick+...here are my thoughts on this device - It's snappy and smooth. It's maybe not quite as quick as my Roku Ultras...but it's every bit as fast as the Roku 4. - The new remote is great.The ability to control the TV's power and volume without a second remote or a universal remote is loooong overdue. - Excellent wireless reception. I had two walls between the Stick+ and my router, but was easily streaming 16mbps local media through Plex. - Powering via the TV's USB isn't optimal. Assuming your TV stops providing power to the USB when turned-off, the Stick+ will have to go through the boot-up sequence and then connect to your wireless before you can do anything with it each time you turn on your TV. This can take ~30 seconds. I highly recommend plugging it directly into an outlet using the provided adapter. So, this is a great Roku device. It doesn't have the same bells-and-whistles that my Roku Ultra's have...but then again, I also paid nearly twice as much for those. This Stick+ is much cheaper, provides basically the same UI/playback performance, and also has a remote that will make having to juggle your Roku and TV remotes a thing of the past. That's why I say, absent some deal-breaker that I haven't encountered yet, this is the best dollar-for-dollar Roku yet.

I have 2014 Samsung 55" curved screen TV I bought when I was working overseas. Since I have been home I have had limited streaming apps I could load due to the regional software package it runs on. But the TV is in good shape and I did not want to replace it just because of streaming ad casting limitations. I decided to try out the ROKU stick as an alternative. The one thing this TV does not lack is HDMI and USB ports. Got the ROKU today. It took about 15 minutes to set up. (Have your phone, laptop or both handy to confirm account creation) I added all the streaming apps I currently use and it took me about 20 minutes to open and logged into all of them (again laptop, phone or tablet devices handy for dual authentication steps where required. Everything logged in successfully. I decided to check out some of the free streaming app options that come with the device. A lot of options. Played a movie and was blown away by the quality of the picture. I hadn't realized how mediocre the streaming quality was running on the TV platform apps that I knew were not the most current. The ROKU has really amazing quality. I did not have to power with a plug, the device was sufficiently powered running from a USB port on the TV (The port is rated at 5V) This is well worth the price and an excellent option for anyone looking for solutions to upgrade their streaming capability of older TVs or those like mine that are from another global region limiting the app and casting compatibility with US stuff.

Fonctionne très bien, je l'ai acheté car je suis abonnée à Amazon Prime, donc je voulais en bénéficier, car gratuit avec l'abonnement Amazon Prime. Par contre je ne suis pas satisfaite d'Amazon Prime car la majorité des séries et films ne sont pas traduits en français, donc finalement ça n'a aucun intérêt pour moi (films et séries sous-titrés, donc pas agréable à regarder). Ensuite il faudra payer pour ajouter des chaînes supplémentaires sans être sûr de pouvoir regarder les films ou séries en français. Finalement je l'utilise uniquement pour écouter de la musique (genre Spotify) car ma TV est reliée à un Home Cinéma.

Ürün çok hızlı ve stabil. Menüler arası geçişler seri ve kolay. Youtube, netflix gibi uygulamaları kanal listenize ekleyip rahat bir şekilde kullanabilirsiniz. Bunun dışında birçok kanala da üye olup kullanabilirsiniz. Ancak IPTV için alıyorsanız maalesef desteklemiyor.

Works flawlessly. All the time. Every time. Would buy again.

Il prodotto risulta molto carente quando attivato dall'Italia. Alcune feature sono completamente assenti: - il telecomando vocale non funziona (non nel senso che non funziona la lingua italiana, ma proprio che non funziona nemmeno in inglese: il pulsante sul telecomando attiva un'altra cosa) - la ricerca dei canali non è supportata, e per un prodotto che si vanta di avere migliaia di canali non capisco proprio come possa mancare quando usato dall'Italia - l'applicazione per Android non è installabile in Italia. Tutte queste feature (a eccezione dell'applicazione) si attivano solamente se l'account Roku viene creato da una nazione che li supporta (ad esempio, gli Stati Uniti). Se questo non bastasse, varie piattaforme di streaming italiane non sono disponibili: Amazon Prime Video non è disponibile tramite Roku in Italia (mentre è disponibile se l'account Roku viene creato dagli Stati Uniti). Altre piattaforme di streaming italiane come Infinity, Now TV, Sky Go, Chili TV, RaiPlay non sono disponibili del tutto. I canali Roku offrono alcuni contenuti aggiuntivi gratuiti (con pubblicità) ma in inglese. Varie recensioni online confrontano le caratteristiche tecniche del telecomando o dell'interfaccia grafica, ma ignorano completamente il grosso problema: a questa piattaforma MANCANO I CONTENUTI se vi registrate dall'Italia e cercate prodotti in italiano. Troverete Netflix, YouTube, AppleTV, CiaoTV e poco altro. È un prodotto interessante per vari motivi, e se cercate contenuti esclusivamente in inglese è sicuramente valido, ma è molto deludente dal punto di vista del mercato italiano. Da un prodotto che costa quasi il doppio di un Amazon Fire Stick avevo aspettative più alte.

Plus+でないStreaming Stickを購入したのですが、ミラーリングが不安定でこちらを購入しました。 全てにおいて大満足です。前回の設定が全てアカウントに保存されており、チャンネルを再度追加する必要もなく快適に使用しています。 日本語チャンネルはありませんが、英語などの多言語環境の方には非常にお得な商品だと思います。 これがあればPrimegがいりませんね（ここでこんな事を言ってはいけないかもしれませんが）。
