Which Roku Stick Should You Buy?
Leading the pack is the affordable Roku Express HD which can now be had for only $17, a decline from its initial price tag of $29. Its tiny size makes it ideal for individuals who want to bring smart capabilities to their HD TV without having to remortgage the house. Small as it may be, the Roku Express delivers big with thousands of free and paid streaming channels at its beck and call. It comes with a simple remote and an HDMI cable and the setup is super easy. While it doesn’t support 4K streaming, it’s a great choice for HD TVs or as a secondary device for guest rooms or kitchens.
For those seeking a more premium experience, the Roku Streaming Stick 4K is now priced at $38, down from $49. This thin device has 4K streaming, HDR capability, and Dolby Vision to give you the best image quality available on your 4K TV. The Streaming Stick 4K also includes a more power-efficient processor, which gives you faster channel launches and smoother navigation. Its thinness allows it to be hidden behind your TV, and the voice remote included gives you convenience in your streaming.

Plugging the gap between these two options is the Roku Express 4K+, which currently costs $29, down from $39. This model has 4K streaming and HDR capability, much like its more costly relative, but in small set-top box package like the Express | HD. The Express 4K+ comes with a voice remote that includes TV controls, so you can switch on your TV and adjust the volume without a second remote. It’s a good compromise option for those who want 4K features but don’t want to pay the Streaming Stick 4K’s high price tag.

All three Roku devices are fitted with some wonderful features that have made them so popular: They come equipped with an easy-to-use interface that is simple to operate, even for the less tech-inclined. The Roku OS gives access to a huge library of streaming services, including popular options such as Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and many more. Roku also includes search capabilities that enable you to look for content from various platforms, saving you time and effort.
When choosing between these models, remember your specific needs. If you’re watching on an HD TV or want to stay very budget-conscious, the Roku Express | HD for $17 is the way to go. If you own a 4K TV and desire the best streaming experience possible, the Roku Streaming Stick 4K for $38 is top-of-the-line performance-wise and feature-wise. The Roku Express 4K+ for $29 takes the middle ground, offering you 4K features without the high cost.
