May 11, 2021 ·  The Roku Express 4K+ is a 4K -capable media streamer, like the Roku Premiere before it. It supports high dynamic range (HDR) content in HDR10, HDR10+, and hybrid log gamma (HLG). It doesn't support... 

The new Roku Express 4K+ (2021) is proof that, if you wait long enough for a technology to proliferate, you can eventually buy it at an incredibly low price. Such was the case of SSDs, USBs and high-capacity RAM, and now the same is true for 4K HDR streaming devices. What the Roku Express 4K+ offers is 4K HDR streaming at up to 60 frames per second over HDMI 2.0b with support for HDR10+. There’s no Dolby Atmos support or Dolby Vision support, two high-end formats for spatial audio and HDR respectively, but you’re getting most of the features of streaming devices that used to cost over $100 for just $39.99. While it’s missing those high-end formats that the Roku Ultra has, and its range is a bit shorter than the slightly more expensive Roku Streaming Stick+, the Roku Express 4K+ is Roku’s answer to the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K and Chromecast with Google TV– it’s affordable, has all the same streaming apps and it comes with a remote. That being said, we still really like the Fire TV St... 

May 11, 2021 ·  Roku Express 4K Plus review: The new go-to Roku Roku's latest $40 device is pretty much everything you need in a streamer. 

Jul 13, 2021 ·  By far the cheapest streaming device, the Roku Express 4K hits most of the right notes. It has all of the major apps that you could want, Dolby Atmos sound and 4K HDR video. The remote’s not the best, though, and the lack of Dolby Vision may put some people off.

May 11, 2021 ·  App drama aside, the Roku Express 4K+ is Roku's most compelling new device in years. Its superior remote makes it a better buy than the $30 Roku Express even without a 4K TV, and it renders the $50... 

Roku gives you everything you need to get set up. You get the Express 4K+, a high-speed certified HDMI cable, a Roku remote, a pair of AAA batteries, a Micro USB power cable with an AC adapter, a quick-start guide, and an adhesive strip that you can use to mount the Express 4K+ to a variety of surfaces, including the bottom edge or backside of your TV. 

Jul 09, 2021 ·  The Roku Premiere was a step above - but now the Roku Express 4K comes in offering HDR10+ support for better high dynamic range content handling, as well as better Wi-Fi and a more powerful ... 

Just from looking at it, you'd be hard-pressed to tell if the Roku Express 4K+ is a new device at all. It's got the same general design as the 1080p model, with a flat base supporting a rounded, biscotti-esque shape. The shiny, glass front side features a little blue LED to let you know that the device is powered on, along with one HDMI port and a micro-USB port on the back side for power. One of the Express 4K+'s most substantial upgrades, outside of the enhanced video quality, is that it ships with a Roku Voice Remote. This not only gives users a dedicated mic button for voice search but frees them from needing to point the remote at the IR sensor to register commands. Hold the remote behind your back, point it at the ceiling, or do whatever else you want with it, and it'll still work. By contrast, the older remote I have for my Roku TV needs to be pointed at the IR sensor to work at all. Now, you may be wondering why there's a plus sign in the product's name. That's because Roku...

Roku Express (2019) review: High-def streaming at a low-debt price

Roku Express (2019) review

The Good: The Roku Express (2019) is an affordable, easy-to-use mini streamer with access to thousands of apps. Load times and app performance are quick and reliable. The Bad: Lacks the TV control buttons and point-anywhere voice remote included on the more-expensive Express Plus and Amazon Fire TV Stick. The Bottom Line: The Roku Express 2019 is an excellent streamer. It's easy to use and offers the cheapest access to Roku's superb operating system. If you've come to this review with the intention of spending the bare minimum on a streaming player then congratulations: You found what you're looking for.The $30 Roku Express is the least-expensive streamer on the market and a great value. Its performance is excellent, it loads apps quickly and it gets you in the door with Roku, our favorite overall smart TV streaming system. Yet even at the measly price of $30, the Roku Express isn't the only solution, and neither is it necessarily the best value. &nbsp;When you're shopping at the non-4K, ultra-budget level there's four main streaming options -- Roku Express, the Express Plus ($40), the&nbsp;Google Chromecast&nbsp;($35) and the Amazon Fire TV Stick ($40). The Fire TV Stick is the best of the four in terms of features (with Alexa built-in) and speed, thanks in part to the new YouTube app. However, the&nbsp;Fire TV's&nbsp;interface isn't as easy to use as the Roku: Its search results and other areas of the menus push you more toward Amazon's own video content.&nbsp;Both the Fire TV Stick and Express Plus offer voice remotes that can also control your TV's volume, mute and power, and in my book those extras are worth the extra $10 over the Express. But if you don't care about those extras and simply want to smartify a bedroom or second (or third) TV for the least amount of money possible, the Roku Express is the streamer to get.A set top fit for a flat screenThe Roku Express isn't really a "box" and it's not a dongle either. It's a tiny device, just 1.5 inches across, which is designed to attach to your slim TV or on top of your AV unit with a sticky tab on the unit's bottom. Unlike some of the more expensive models in the Roku line that offer the voice remote, the Express needs a line of sight between the IR remote and the unit itself.As the basic entry into the range the Roku Express streams in 1080p only; for 4K HDR streaming you'll need to step up to the&nbsp;Streaming Stick Plus.&nbsp;At the back of the Express you have two ports -- one for the USB charger and one for HDMI -- and all the necessary cables are included in the box. If you want to, you can use the USB power port on your television, but this does mean you need to wait the 30 seconds or so for the Roku to boot up when you turn the set on. It's not an intolerable wait (see below), but using the included power pack means you'll be ready to go instantly.
