Our take on the Roku Streaming Stick 4K Media Player With Roku Voice Remote
The Roku Streaming Stick 4K is a plug-in streaming player that plugs straight into an HDMI port and hides behind the TV. It streams in 4K HDR, including Dolby Vision, and comes with a voice remote that controls the TV's power and volume. It runs the Roku OS, which is known for a simple, neutral home screen that puts apps side by side rather than pushing one company's content. It suits people who want a fast, low-fuss 4K player and a clean interface; the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K and Google Chromecast with Google TV are its closest rivals, and reviewers generally rate Roku's interface as the easiest to learn.
- Plugs directly into HDMI and sits out of sight
- Supports 4K HDR and Dolby Vision
- Voice remote controls TV power and volume
- Roku OS is simple and puts apps first
- Fast app switching on the 4K model

Questions and answers
- Does the Roku Streaming Stick 4K support Dolby Vision?
- Yes. It supports 4K HDR, including Dolby Vision and HDR10, when the TV and the stream both support it.
- Do I need a 4K TV to use it?
- No. It works with any TV that has an HDMI port, but you only get 4K and HDR on a compatible 4K TV.
- Can the voice remote control my TV?
- Yes. The remote sends voice commands to Roku and also controls TV power and volume over HDMI-CEC or infrared.
- How is it different from the Roku Express 4K?
- The Streaming Stick 4K plugs directly into HDMI and adds Dolby Vision, while the Express 4K uses an HDMI cable and tops out at HDR10.
- Does it work with wired Ethernet?
- Not out of the box. It connects over Wi-Fi, and a wired connection needs a separate adapter.
- What is in the box?
- The streaming stick, the Roku voice remote, batteries, and a USB power cable with adapter.
