Stream your favorite TV shows and movies straight to your TV with the Roku Ultra. It has voice search to make finding your next binge easier, and it's compatible with 4K Ultra HD displays for crystal-clear picture quality. The Roku Ultra includes a lost remote finder so you never have to search the couch cushions again.

I have always been an Apple fan but have been discouraged with the lack of progress with Apple on 4k for my TV. So I decided to try Roku.
I found the Roku to be extremely easy to set up, have all the apps I needed (Plex, Hulu, Netflix, Fox Go) plus many more and the interface and remote are very nice.
The setup was quick and simple, the remote is excellent, the interface very easy to navigate, adding apps easy and the quality of the picture is superb.
I picked the Ultra because of a couple of features - it plays 4k with HDR, the headphone option built into the remote and the "find the remote" feature.
I love the Roku and will choose it every time over Apple TV. It has great quality, easier remote and interface, less expensive and plays 4k with HDR.
A great product and purchase!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent TV picture with a great remote. I love how it upscales from non 4k content, 4k content is incredible and the remote is the best I have ever used. Highest recommendation.
Just be sure to update your software IMMEDIATELY after you buy it and while setting it up. Otherwise, this is an incredible TV.
After doing some research from several sources, I found these settings to be the best:
Picture = standard
backlight = 11
contrast = 60
brightness = 42
sharpness = 50
color = 55
tint = default
Advanced
Dynamic contrast = medium
black tone = dark
- all other options are default-
Picture options
Color tone = standard
digital clean view = low
MPEG = medium
film mode = auto 1
auto motion plus = clear
smart LED = standard
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been looking around for a good sound bar. I researched high and low and finally landed upon the Vizio 3821-W system which was not surround sound but had great reviews. I took it home and set it up and found it to be a nice system but something was missing. The sound bar and sub woofer were very good but not great. I took it back.
I read a little more and it dawned me that what I needed was a better sound bar with more speakers, etc and when I read about the Vizio 4251-W with a better sound bar (more and better speakers), a better wireless sub woofer and two surround sound speakers, it became obvious what I was missing - a complete home theater system for a reasonable.
This sound bar allows me to "experience" my TV, movies and music. It may not be as good as an expensive set of speakers, etc but for me, with a nice size living room, it works perfectly and allows me to enjoy TV, movies and music and not break the bank.
It was very simple to set up - about 10 minutes. Every cable was included that I needed. I then set my settings for volume on the sound bar, sub woofer and surround speakers. Another 10 minutes. I was done and ready to test it. I watched a new Star Trek movie and the "experience" was incredible. It felt like I was kinda in a theater.
For the money ($199), I could not find a better sound bar system anywhere and had looked at higher priced systems. This was great for the price, easy to set up and the "experience" of watching or listening to my entertainment was worth every penny.
I highly recommend!

How long are the wires that connect the two rear speakers to the SUBWOOFER?

Each wire appears to be about 12'.
