Roku Streaming Stick Plus vs Roku Ultra 4K Streaming Player
Buy the Streaming Stick Plus if you want a small, cheap way to add 4K HDR to a TV and can live with Wi-Fi only. Buy the Ultra if you want Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, an Ethernet port and a remote you recharge instead of feed batteries. The Stick Plus is the simpler, more portable device; the Ultra is the faster, better-connected one, and owners of both generally rate Roku's interface and search highly, with the Ultra's extra ports and audio formats the main reason to step up.
- Choose the Roku Streaming Stick Plus if your TV is wall-mounted or in a secondary room and you want 4K HDR over Wi-Fi with the least hardware.
- Choose the Roku Ultra if you have a Dolby Vision TV and a soundbar or AV receiver, or your Wi-Fi is weak and you need a wired Ethernet connection.
