Best Roku Streaming Stick Guide: 4K, HDR, and Wi-Fi Compared

Roku offers five streaming devices, but the key differentiator is 4K support. Every model except the $40 Streaming Stick supports 4K. The Streaming Stick Plus ($60) delivers 4K at a lower price than the $80 Streaming Stick 4K.

Upgrading to the 4K model adds Dolby Vision and extended Wi-Fi range—benefits that may not justify the cost for most users. For those seeking maximum connectivity, the $150 Roku Ultra includes Wi-Fi 6, an Ethernet port, and Dolby Vision, making it ideal for unstable networks. The Streambar SE ($150) doubles as a soundbar with built-in speakers but lacks Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision.

It suits users wanting audio and streaming in one device. Ultimately, your choice depends on picture quality needs, audio preferences, and network setup.
