This Roku model, which includes a remote and an Amazon Video app, has better features for the money than other 4K streamers. The Premiere model is also more affordable than most other 4K streamers, even before the discount, and offers more streaming apps that feature 4K and standard video streams. It also makes those apps and streams easier to find and use.
If you own a 4K TV that lacks HDR (high dynamic range), and want to complete your entertainment setup with the best compatible gadgets available, the Roku Premier is a logical addition to your collection. Because you’re streaming in 4K, you get four times the resolution of 1080p high-definition TV, which results on crisp detail and brilliant, lifelike images.
The Premiere can also serve up lower-quality streams, in case your favorite shows aren’t yet available in high-definition. This model is compatible with both 4K and HDR stream, and features a smartly designed remote that allows you to point anywhere instead of having to aim, which means you can stash the box out of sight. The Premiere also offers an Ethernet port for wired connections, which can provide a more stable connection than using Wi-Fi. There’s also a microSD card slot that can help apps load faster.
This certified refurbished Roku Premiere 4K UHD Streaming Media Player normally retails for $70, but is currently discounted to just $48 on Amazon, saving you $22 (31 percent).
