Very Happy
on January 30, 2022

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was looking for a cheap Chromebook in the $150-250 range. I needed something for simple work tasks - checking email, internet research, taking notes, etc. A touchscreen definitely was not needed. But then I saw this in-store and could not get over the HD tablet-like display. The resolution alone is worth the price and the upgrade. So much easier on the eyes than a dull, standard laptop. It's like an iPad with a keyboard attached, more powerful, a better OS, and at a price that makes it a great value. This is my first Acer product, and am very impressed so far. Battery life is good. Very pleased and would recommend to family and friends.

Nice Color

I've only ever owned the controllers that come with the console, in black. Had an occasion to need another controller and went with red - was kind of surprised how much I liked it vs. the standard black.

Older movies that the studios actually make an effort to remaster correctly turn out really great on 4K. Jaws is one of them. Highly recommend.

It was a bit complicated to get the thing put together and working, but once it was, it performed great. Not sure if it's possible, but it would be nice if there was a "power switch" instead of two triggers.

Experience smooth streaming of 500,000+ movies and TV shows with the Roku Ultra media player. It supports 4K formats for crisp, immersive pictures, and it has a remote finder button for locating the missing controller. The Roku Ultra media player has a night listening mode that automatically lowers louder moments and amplifies quieter ones for ideal late-night viewing.
 

Will this device get TED TALKS and Netflix? If not what is the cheapest one that will?

Netflix yes. Ted Talks: https://channelstore.roku.com/details/4070/ted

I am purchasing a Roku Ultra. From you so I assume I’ll need a cable to hook the unit up to my older TV I believe it’s a HIME Cable (sp) to finish the install. What accessories are absolutely needed for a no problem install?

You'll need an HDMI cable. I know 4K blu-ray players need a 4K-rated HDMI cable (HDMI 2.0). The Ultra streams 4K, but don't know if HDMI needs to be 4K. Would think so. Prices on cables are low enough that you might as well get the 4K-rated one anyway. Most are probably already rated for it.

I just purchased Ultra Streaming Media Player to get TED TALKS and there is no T TALKS icon showing on the outside of the box. How do I know it will play TED TALKS? You have said it does but how do I know? What is a cheaper device to do that?

I have a roku 2 older model in my bedroom, it works excellent. I bought a roku express for the living room and it does not work well, sometimes it does not work at all, do I need a diferent roku is there a stronger one LR is about 35 ft from a arris route

The Ultra supports WIreless 802.11ac while the Express only offers 802.11b/g/n - so theoretically, yes, the Ultra would offer better connection speeds. However, it also depends on the speed of your internet and whether your router supports Wireless AC. I've also heard of people having issues with any brand of streaming player (Fire, Apple, etc.) on older TVs in general - I think in these cases it might be an HDMI issue (perhaps faulty) - where the video is reaching the streaming player quickly without issue, but the TV is having an issue processing it at the HDMI port. All of my older 1080p TVs have had issues with HDMI ports over the years. Usually going out completely after power surges.

I have a Roku Express on a TV that is not a smartTV. I also have a smartTV, but prefer the Roku on that TV. What advantages over the Express can the Ultra Streaming Media Player offer me? I am not interested in recording streamed shows.

I went with the Roku Ultra earlier this year as my first Roku device because I knew I'd be upgrading to 4K. I ended up with a Roku 4K TV (TCL) so it didn't really matter, but I still like the Roku Ultra better than any of the others I have (2 x Roku TCL 4K TVs, and 2 x Roku Express) because I really like that the controller comes with a headphone jack. Those are two main points for Ultra (4K, headphone jack remote) vs. Express (none of those things). Ultra also has a media card reader that I've used to stream online courses downloaded from the internet (that didn't have a Roku app).

Enjoy precision control with this SteelSeries Stratus XL 69050 gaming controller, which features home and back buttons and analog joysticks for seamless integration with select Android and Windows systems.
 

Can you use for steam?

That is what I purchased this for - steam games. And it worked fine. I had to do some controller mapping, but ultimately decided to go with an Xbox 1 controller. Works with the controller-enabled steam games I tried it on, including Fallout 4 and No Man's Sky.
