## What reviewers say

Three whitelisted hands-on reviews (TechRadar, PCWorld, Tom's Guide) survived verification, all covering the exact 2024 Roku Ultra. All three praise its speed versus Roku's cheaper streaming sticks/dongles and the backlit, USB-C rechargeable Voice Remote Pro, plus Roku's deep catalog of free content. All three flag intrusive and growing home-screen banner ads, and PCWorld and Tom's Guide stress it is barely an upgrade over older Ultras. Note: full Dolby Vision/HDR10+/Atmos support is enumerated in full only by TechRadar; PCWorld cites only Dolby Atmos and Tom's Guide only Dolby Vision. (Based on 3 reviews, 3 lab-tested, 2024-11-16–2024-12-19.)

Praised: Speedy performance, clearly faster than Roku's cheaper streaming sticks/dongles; Backlit, rechargeable (USB-C) Voice Remote Pro; Excellent library of free ad-supported movies, shows and channels; Premium HDR format support, notably Dolby Vision (plus Dolby Atmos).
Flagged: Intrusive and growing banner ads on the home screen; Barely an upgrade over older Roku Ultra models; Expensive relative to other Roku streamers / at the high end of the category; Smart home control limited to Roku's own ecosystem (no Matter/Thread); Remote's app-launch buttons are not fully reprogrammable.
Disagreement: PCWorld measured the new Ultra as at best a split-second faster than the 2022 Ultra and called the real-world gains barely noticeable, whereas TechRadar and Tom's Guide judged the device genuinely speedy and worth the premium; all three agree it clearly outpaces Roku's cheaper sticks/dongles.
