All three of my TV’s are 2010-2016 Samsung models with the early app’s that they stopped updating. I got a Roku a Chromecast and a Firestick so I could honestly compare. I’m not a fan of brand bashing I will just say I have three Roku units now and they are awesome! I was concerned that the streaming stick would t do as well as the models with the set top receiver, you can not tell a difference. Great product without the disconnects or refresh wheel!

Streaming Stick 4K is a powerful, budget-friendly streaming device that offers excellent 4K HDR video quality and a user-friendly interface. The device supports 4K displays up to 60fps, Dolby Vision, HDR10/10+, and HLG, providing vibrant and smooth images. Ease of Use: With a simple setup process and an easy-to-navigate interface, it's accessible to users of all ages.

Overall I’m happy with the Streaming Stick 4K. The product works great and the remote is the best I’ve used. It feels solid. The buttons are firm and have a tactile click when pressed. The body of the remote has a little texture. So, no more accidental button presses and accidental drops. The only complaint I have is that if a program is paused for just a short time it turns off the tv. This needs to be a setting that can be changed by the user.

It's so wonderful having all of my streaming options in one place without the expensive new TV purchase or having to sign out of one app on my tablet, finding the other app and reconnecting. The flow of the Roku Streaming Stick from one app to another is so smooth and easy. Love it!

Love Roku, used one for years since starting to stream. On our 3rd one now, 1st & 2nd one --I guess-- got tired so were replaced. However of late 3rd one's acting odd. Every morning it's 'Updating'; moreover, what few apps we use must 'load' before launching. What's up w/ that, never used to happen w/ previous 2. IF normal, fine...if not, what --if anything-- can or should be done? TIA, Straz

Bought to replace a old Roku stick which was actually working fine but the remote control was on its last leg. This new stick is much speedier and the remote control seems to be okay but (and this is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5) the buttons on the remote are super CLICKY and I really don't like that. I also am not crazy about how the Roku set-up wizard adds a bunch of channels I don't need so that I have to spend more time removing their bloat/promoted apps...so uncool. Other than that, this 4k stick is great and works pretty much as expected (minus those annoying clickety-clacky remote buttons)

I bought 2 Roku's a couple months ago to add streaming services to an older Sony Bravia and a Visio. I was able to set up all my services and add Direct TV too. Works great, easy to set up (if you have all your passwords), and even recognized the brand of the TV's.

I replaced a fire stick with the Roku 4K stick. It is faster to load apps, the advertising is less annoying, and the picture is nice. We only have 50G dsl and have had no issues with lag or buffering. A great value and upgrade from the previous device.

Only the major TV services like CNN, NBC are available when traveling in the US. In Mexico almost no US TV services are can be streamed. The Roku Stick will NOT connect to a cell hotspot when VPN is used on the cell phone so a dedicated VPN router is required to use the Stick when traveling internationally.

Can't believe how fantastic this service is. My WIFI is great now,, it has even improved my phone service, but the shows & programs without all the adds are fantastic. Also no down time just because of wind or rain. So satisfied with this product....
