Title: Roku Express 4K+: A Fantastic Streaming Experience for Me!
Review: After using the Roku Express 4K+ for a few weeks, I can confidently say I’m really happy with my decision. I was looking for a way to upgrade my streaming setup and get 4K quality without spending too much, and this device has delivered in all the areas that matter most to me.Pros:Amazing Picture Quality:The 4K HDR support on this Roku is impressive. Watching movies and shows in 4K has been a noticeable upgrade in picture quality. Colors are vibrant, and details are crisp. Even older content looks better, and I’ve really enjoyed seeing my favorite shows in a new light with such clear, sharp visuals.Simple Setup and Easy to Use:Setting up the Roku Express 4K+ was so easy. I had it up and running in just a few minutes, thanks to the clear instructions on the screen. The interface is straightforward, and navigating through different apps and channels is super simple. Everything I need is right there, and I don’t have to spend time hunting for what I want.Roku Voice Remote is a Game-Changer:The Roku Voice Remote is one of my favorite features. I love how easy it is to search for shows or movies just by speaking into the remote. It works really well, and I don’t have to scroll through endless menus anymore. Plus, it controls both the Roku and my TV’s volume and power, so I only need one remote.Great Free and Live TV Options:I’ve been really enjoying the free channels and live TV access. The Roku Channel offers a solid variety of free movies and shows, and there are a lot of live news, sports, and entertainment channels available, which means I don’t need an extra subscription to watch live content.Tons of Streaming Options:Having access to all the major streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and Prime Video is perfect for me. I’m able to find whatever I’m in the mood for, and the device handles everything smoothly. The app interface is clean and easy to navigate, which makes switching between different streaming services hassle-free.Cons:Not for Gaming:While this device is great for streaming, it’s not built for gaming. If I wanted to play any serious games, this wouldn’t be the right choice, but that’s not something I’m using it for, so it doesn’t bother me.Audio isn’t Top-Tier:The sound quality is decent but not exceptional. The built-in audio is fine for everyday use, but it doesn’t blow me away, especially with the 4K visuals. I’m considering adding a soundbar to get better sound to match the picture quality, but for now, I’m still happy with how it performs overall.No Ethernet Port:The lack of an Ethernet port is a bit of a downside for me since I prefer wired connections for more stable streaming. I’m using Wi-Fi, which works just fine, but I do notice occasional fluctuations in speed. Not a deal-breaker for me, but it's something I’ve noticed.Final Thoughts:The Roku Express 4K+ has been an excellent addition to my setup. The picture quality is fantastic, the voice remote is incredibly convenient, and the setup was quick and easy. The free and live TV options are a nice bonus, and I’ve found myself exploring a lot of new content because of it. While the sound quality and lack of an Ethernet port are small inconveniences, they haven’t detracted from my overall enjoyment of the device.

Title: Pretty good
Review: Our old TV just got a reprieve. After doing some research, we bought this Roku Express 4K+ streaming player and found it works quite well. We have hooked it up to an old Samsung 22" TV (model code LT22B350ND/ZA) which was made in 2013. Received it within a few days of ordering it and it took about 20 minutes to get it working.Ease of use: Follow the included instructions. I plugged it into our power strip rather than the TV USB port since I heard that there were issues related to that (one report of fire, some issues with inadequate power, etc.). Remote takes a little time getting used to - I haven't figured out what all the buttons do and I still haven't figured out how to slave the remote to adjust TV sound. I can imagine that will make my life easier because I won't need to use the TV remote for anything else except for changing the input source and doing some TV fine tuning. Volume adjust/mute buttons are on the side of the remote which was an issue for a few people, but I'm OK with it. From past reviews, sounds like the remote is not very durable but that remains to be seen.Speed: quite responsive - no complaintsAppearance: The wireless receiver is quite unobtrusive. This Roku comes with a mounting strip so you can stick it where you want it. I just parked it on the TV base without the strip.Battery life and the rest: remains to be seen but for a gadget that cost less than $40, we're satisfied. So much so that we will get another for our living room TV - it's a few years younger but we expect the Netflix and Prime Video software for it to eventually outdate. One thing that bothers me is that you have to sign up for a Roku account which means giving out your credit card info. I still have misgivings about doing that being the closet Luddite that I am.

Title: My son says it’s a lifesaver
Review: Some backstory for why I bought it:My son’s tv is an older flat screen and isn’t a smart tv so he has used my old vcr and vhs tapes to watch while he falls asleep because it helps him not be so scared at night, but when we had to move into our new house, the vcr was somehow damaged and won’t work. He was miserable ever since, especially in a new house.I had heard about Roku awhile back, so I looked into it and saw that it can be used on tvs that aren’t smart ones, so I decided to order this for him for Christmas last year and he LOVES it!It’s got access to all the apps he uses, but it also has its own channels, like a Roku kids channel complete with a variety of different kids shows, even streams from their fav streamers. It was extremely easy to setup, and you can even set it to be able to control the tv power so you don’t have to use multiple remotes. It has an auto shutoff so it’s not on all night, can be controlled with the app as well as the physical remote which has come in handy when he’s lost it and couldn’t find it before bedtime, and the box that gets hooked up to the tv is little and compact, and it comes with sticky pads to stick it wherever you need it without worrying about it shifting around or if you can’t find a flat surface and want to stick it to the tv.It has really helped us out over here in a big way and I def recommend it especially to anyone in a similar situation!

Title: Great Picture
Review: Went from an older Apple TV - which I've been using for years, as they are released - and was worried about switching to non-Apple product. The price difference was hard to ignore, though! Very happy with Roku. Works great and notice a definite improvement in picture quality, even on my older Sony TV. The Home menu offerings are great. I have yet to explore the Roku channels.. Remote works well and happy to have TV and device all in one. I like the separate buttons on remote for Amazon and Netflix so you can get there directly. For Live TV, there is actually an impressive choice of streaming networks. There's a lot there for an incredibly reaonable price!
