I'm going to give it a 4/5, with the only reason it doesn't get full marks being the fact that the streaming apps on the device occasionally just won't play video, it will be black. The only way to fix it is to restart the device in the system settings. But other than that it works well and I'm not regretting my purchase. I would recommend it to a friend.

the new Roku works great. I replaced two older units and the improvements made are spot on. the apps don't have to reload all the time, the controller turns the TV and Sound bar on and off controls volume and is lighted...finally down to one controller. It has all the apps we watch so works well as out only box.

I bought two of these over a year ago and they started exhibiting the same problem in the past couple of months. After being off for a long time, when I turn them on, an annoying buzzing noise blares from my speakers. I have to unplug the unit to get the noise to stop. One unit, I can understand, but two? This seems like more than an isolated problem.

I've had the Ultra Roku player for over a year and cannot get they're Multi View feature working, no option when selecting channels. According to Roku website I have proper firmware and software updates, as well as proper HD TV. Never has worked., despite having all Roku website requirements.

I have I have been a Roku user for a number of years and the ultra that I just purchased is the best of them all. It's very easy to set up. It's responsive and gives me all the options I could possibly need. I just cut the cord to cable and my TV now is a Roku TV. I couldn't be happier. This configuration also saves me a lot of money every month.

My wife and I are longtime fans of Roku, and greatly value the user experience it provides. Simple and reliable. Motivated by the imminent arrival of houseguests, we recently moved our primary (family room) Ultra (2020) player to a spare TV in our guest suite, and replaced it with an Ultra (2024). Both players use hardwired Ethernet connections for smooth streaming. It goes without saying, we liked our Ultra enough to buy it again. While we anticipated improvements in the newer model, reflecting its further development, I’m delighted to report Ultra (2024) has exceeded our expectations. Specifically, we LOVE the new backlit remote (more so, after setting the “rocket” button to launch our favorite apps; SlingTV and YouTube). Most surprisingly, not to mention, most welcome, our picture quality noticeably improved as a result of Ultra (2024) detecting and optimizing our Samsung TV’s High Dynamic Range (HDR) display capabilities. My wife likened it to getting a new TV. The bottom line is Ultra (2024j is a thoughtfully conceived and well-executed product. Go Roku!

Previously had three 480x Ultras with wifi5. Only got sound through the rear surround speakers of my Samsung 990D sound bar when I would watch movies that specifically said "Dolby Atmos". With the new 485x Ultras with wifi6 I get sound from the rear speakers with all channels and programing even with older shows that I know were not remastered. I don't know what the difference is in the two Ultras technically, but would definitely recommend upgrading plus getting wifi6 streaming speeds!

I have an older Sony TV that has a very nice screen but few inputs and an oversized and awkward remote(s). Adding a Roku Ultra has given it a new life. The Roku remote is a single point of control, the backlite buttons are a nice bonus. The performance when scolling through and launching apps is snappy and quick. No need to recycle this TV just yet!

My 4 yr old Roku was constantly losing internet and frequently buffering. This Ultra hasn't once lost internet and I've had no buffering since i started using it two weeks ago. The hands free voice activated remote takes me where I want to go. The picture on my smart tv is even a bit better.

I have owned several smart TVs that had Roku built in as the operating system and became a big fan of its clear, simple and intuitive features compared to the typically cluttered, unintuitive systems that come with most TVs. I wanted to purchase an OLED TV and was unable to find one with Roku built in. After some research, I discovered that I could buy either a Roku stick or a Roku Ultra and use it in place of the TV operating system. After further research, I learned that the Ultra device is very competitive with the best add on systems in the market (like Apple TV and Firestick, etc.) and at a decent price for what you get. I particularly like the rechargeable and backlit remote. I also was careful to make sure the Ultra would work with all of top video systems like Dolby Vision since my new OLED TV is designed to provide a stunning picture. Bottom line, this device works just like the Roku operating systems native to my prior TVs and is working perfectly as a replacement operating system for my LG C4 OLED TV. The TV has a setting that enables the Roku to come on automatically when it is powered on. I recommend the Ultra for both Roku veterans who are looking to replace an operating system and newbies who are ready to try the best operating system on the market.
