Roku Streaming Stick 4K Review: Is it Worth it?
Feb 10, 2025
Roku’s Streaming Stick 4K is a solid way to watch 4K content, as long as its merely decent speed doesn’t stick in your craw. Then look elsewhere, and go get your craw looked at.
Lots of TVs these days come with built-in streaming capabilities. They tend to be slow as hell, though, so I bypass all of them with a dedicated streaming device. You should think about getting one, too.
You get to pick your service—Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, or Chromecast—and get better features, such as voice controls and smarter remote controls, to boot. “Wha—one more purchase!?” I can hear you thinking it.
So yes, one more purchase. It’s (often) worth it. You just need to make sure it can handle 4K. Roku’s Streaming Stick 4K, at first glance of its $40 price tag, is an affordable way to fulfill that requirement. And just look at how easy it is to install on literally any TV.
A streaming stick—a device that brings the streaming networks like Hulu and Netflix to your TV—is very convenient. It plugs straight into the back of the TV, tucked away and out of sight. Plus, it’s cheaper than a big streaming box.
But it makes compromises. Roku’s Streaming Stick 4K, like most streaming sticks, trades away speed for its small size and low price. Whether it’s right for you depends on your priorities.
