  • Abstract:  It's the holiday season, which means millions of people are leaving stores with a new 4K Ultra HD TV. Google and Roku are hoping that they'll also tack something else onto that big purchase: a streaming gadget. Both companies have recently released produc...

  • Lots of big-name apps and surprising niche finds, Unrivaled 4K content selection, Remote-finding feature is pretty smart
  • Bigger, noisier, and pricier than other Roku players, App design and interface are showing their age, Voice recognition is less reliable than other streamers
  • With or without a 4K TV, Roku's priciest streaming box is a minor improvement over its cheaper models...

  • Roku has another hit on its hands. The Roku 4 delivers everything that people have grown to love about the Roku platform while adding more functionality (4K), better system compatibility (optical digital output), and new convenience features (remote finde...

  • Does what the hell it's supposed to do, no clutter or confusion. Great channel selection, with no glaring omissions. 4K support is forward thinking of not broadly useful quite yet. Voice search is handy at times. So is the remote finding thing. Headphone
  • Voice search is basic and hit-or-miss. The Interface aesthetic looks a bit old-hat. Roku's independent appeal is threatened by piling on things like pre-cooked shortcut buttons to particular services and ads in the background of the main menu, Should You
  • The Roku 4 is just great if you’re buying your first streaming box. But maybe not worth a $130 if you’re a Roku 3 user. If you’re comparison shopping, there is a ton of competition, most of which the Roku 4 matches completely. The biggest reasons to buy a...

  • Fast and easy to use, Solid selection of 4K content, Wide variety of apps
  • Software is beginning to feel dated, Doesn't support HDR, making it obsolete by next year
  • The Roku 4 is exactly what we'd expect from Roku: a solid media box that plays well with multiple video services. But its only real benefit over the recent Roku 3 is 4K support...

  • 4K streaming to UHDTV, Agnostic search finds titles in multiple services, Notifications when specific movies become available,
  • Remote mic is inaccurate, Search can't find specific episodes of specific seasons
  • If you own a 4K TV, this is a slam-dunk. If not, the advances in hardware are still enough to step up from a Roku 2....

  • Huge selection of channels (including Google Play and Amazon) that doesn't prioritize one provider over any others, Faster internals, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and 4K support make it more future-proof than other Roku devices, Nice selection of ports, including opti
  • Requires HDCP 2.2 for 4K streaming, something that not all 4K-capable TVs and receivers will support, A bit pricey compared to the Chromecast, the Roku Stick, or some of the other media sticks out there if all you want is basic streaming, Poor selection o

  • Abstract:  After several years of just updating the Roku 1, Roku 2 and Roku 3, the company that was at the forefront of the current set top box wars is back with its latest device, the Roku 4.As a user of Roku devices since the very first one on the market, there is...

  • Excellent content selection, Great 4K streaming quality, Comprehensive search features, Remote includes headphone jack
  • Interface feels dated, No voice assistant or worthwhile gaming
  • The Roku 4 has a lot of things going for it. The 4K streaming looks gorgeous; the content selection is still king, and the search is one of the best in the business. On the other hand, other than 4K, not much here justifies the $30 bump over the 1080p Rok...

  • Huge library of content, Easy to set up, navigate, Updated tech specs (4K, processor)
  • Relatively large box, Imperfect voice search, Roku's most expensive streaming device
  • More times than not, the Verge score is based on the average of the subscores below. However, since this is a non-weighted average, we reserve the right to tweak the overall score if we feel it doesn't reflect our overall assessment and price of the produ...
