I bought the upgraded Roku Ultra about a month ago to replace an older version. There was a big difference in the two. The new one lets me use a single controller for everything including volume. It was an easy set-up and also featured voice command. It is very fast and smooth compared to the older version. There aren't any pauses and very little wait time. I also think the image quality is better also along with show previews now appearing that I don't think happened with the older version. A nice upgrade overall!
I was using my iPhone and a HDMI adapter to feed my projector. Bluetooth would power my soundbar. The room was a 3 season porch with no cable. I hated having my iPhone tethered to the projector. It was clumsy to change apps and the WiFi was not always steady.
The Roku Ultra took over the HDMI connection. Yes I still needed to power my soundbar via my iPhone but that was easily done through the Roku app. The Roku interface is much easier to navigate and you could do it through the app or the included remote. And the WiFi has been flawless so far. The Ultra, for the most part, performs like a cable box. Love it!
We recently got 2 new 4K UHD TVs. The TVs they replaced both had Roku built-in, but the new TVs did not have Roku built-in. Purchased 2 Roku Ultra HD 4K HDR units that connect to the TV via HDMI. The Roku Ultra's solved the problem (of not having Roku), and they seem to be better and more complete than the built-in Roku's. For example, the units can receive Roku software updates over the internet, which was not the case with the old TVs where the Roku was buitl-in. Overall, an excellent product that evidently can work well with any TV that has an open 4K HDMI port.
I bought the Roku Ultra to upgrade my home theater to 4K. Easy hookup and improved my overall experience. Remote has voice response that I'm just getting used to. So far everything works well. No complaints.
We love the Roku! We bought the Roku ultra and then subscribed to YouTube TV …. Best decision we ever made. Roku is user friendly And helps us stream so easily
We have been using Roku products for several years; we recently purchased a new TV, and due to its design, we were not able to use our Roku stick. With that said, we than purchased the Ultra, which not only fit perfectly, but the upgraded performance is a nice plus!
