One of the best streaming devices on the market.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've got two Roku Ultras now and it is my favorite streaming device. I'm also owned the Nvidia shield pro, and I much prefer the Roku ultra over the Nvidia shield.
I've never ran into any issues using the Roku ultra, I like that it has a ethernet connection for internet. The capability of streaming in 4K with Dolby vision and HDR as well as Dolby Atmos.

I got this for my 11 year old to replace one of his original controllers that sacrificed itself in the heat of a game. Plays good and feels great in your hand. I wish all Xbox controllers had rechargeable batteries like PS controllers, subtracted a star for this.

I bought this for my 11 year old who loves any type of airplane. This didn't meet his excitement, he thought he was going to love it only to barely ever play it. This would be better with actual controllers.
But the cost is to great in my opinion for a single game.

These controllers work great with the PS5, I buy them in pairs when on sale for 49.99. They're overpriced when 69.99 in my opinion.
I like the new color choices offered by Sony. These connect and pair easily with a usb- to usb-c cable when 1st time using these.

Good middle of the road player, but no display.

I like this 4k player it not only plays 4k blu-rays but also blu-rays and DVDs, plus SACDs and DVD Audio discs. I hate that in this price range it lacks a front display, so that you have no clue what chapter or time in the movie your at.
However this takes the load off y PS5 disc edition that I previously used as a 4k player also. SACDs sound great as well. I use my Logitech harmony 700 to controller everything as intended.
You shouldn't have to spend 500.00 or more for a 4k player to get a front panel display, rediculous.

Its ok, but having problems
By Tomas
It does what it is designed to do. I am starting to have problems with it making crackling sounds, as if wires are arcing inside. It does have a 3 year warranty so I will look to get it replaced. Also, i wish that the lights could be dimmed.

I just purchased a Roku 4 stick and I am no longer receiving surround sound, just stereo.. It is wired through my Yamaha AVR with a hdmi going to the television. Am I more likely to get surround with the Roku Ultra? I was getting surround with An Apple 4

Try doing a Soft Reset, by unplugging power for 20 seconds and plugging it back in. This usually fixes and sound and video issues with Roku devices.
