Our take on the Roku Streaming Stick Plus 3830R Streaming Media Player

The Roku Streaming Stick Plus is a plug-in 4K HDR streamer that hides behind the TV and runs the Roku OS. It stands out for its simple interface, a remote with TV power and volume buttons, and support for all the major streaming apps. It suits people who want 4K on a budget and a neutral platform that favors no one service. Against the Fire TV Stick 4K and Chromecast with Google TV, it has the plainest interface and the fewest built-in smart-home extras, but reviewers consistently call it the easiest to learn.
