Roku Is Dropping Two New 4K Streaming Sticks Next Month

We’re all for the latest and greatest when it comes to modern screen technology. The curved screens, holographic displays, imperceptible to the human eye resolution rates, VR, the whole nine yards. Sometimes, it’s just a whole helluva lot easier to fall back on the tried, the true, and the convenient. Which is why we’re generally partial to Roku setups. Whether you’re using a TV with the OS built-in, or attaching a streaming stick or box, Roku makes Smart TV easy. We were super stoked to learn they’re launching two new 4K options–the Roku Streaming Stick 4K and 4K+–next month with both clocking in at less than a hundred bucks. The new Streaming Stick 4K is more powerful and easier to setup than ever with a hide behind your TV design, spectacular Dolby Vision® picture quality, 2x faster Long-range Wi-Fi, Airplay functionality, massive streaming (free/live/premium/subscription) library, and super-fast startup, which makes it the most capable, service-agnostic device out there. The only real difference between the two is the fact that the Streaming Stick 4K+ upgrades the voice remote with TV controls to one that is rechargeable and includes a lost remote finder. [Ed. note: Replacement Roku remotes are about ten bucks more than the upgrade cost of the + version with the lost reminder finder, so you might as well just save yourself the extra coin now.] The Roku Streaming Stick 4K will set you back fifty bucks while the Roku Streaming Stick 4K+ is seventy bucks, and both are slated to drop in the middle of October.
