SeekerRoku Ultra 2020
The Roku Ultra improves on the streaming quality of its predecessors by adding Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support alongside staple niceties like the voice remote with headphone jack and improved Wi-Fi antenna. Roku’s main user interface isn’t aging as gracefully as it should and it has some audio syncing issues, but for half the cost of an Apple TV 4K, the new Roku Ultra is a great value.
