<p>Shifting price points downward on the company&#8217;s lineup of streaming set-top boxes, Roku is launching a $30, 1080p streaming stick called the Roku Express as well as a $80 4K streaming set-top box called the Roku Premiere.  This both undercuts Google&#8217;s $35 Chromecast streaming device as well as Amazon&#8217;s $30 Fire TV streaming stick.

<p>Shifting price points downward on the company&#8217;s lineup of streaming set-top boxes, Roku <a href="https://blog.roku.com/blog/2016/09/26/new-roku-streaming-player-lineup-roku-express-roku-express-roku-premiere-roku-premiere-roku-ultra/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">is launching</a> a $30, 1080p streaming stick called the Roku Express as well as a $80 4K streaming set-top box called the Roku Premiere.  This both undercuts Google&#8217;s $35 Chromecast streaming device as well as Amazon&#8217;s $30 Fire TV streaming stick.</p>
<p>Interestingly, they are also going after consumers that don&#8217;t have televisions with HDMI ports yet. The Roku Express+ ($40) includes options for consumers that want to use simple A/V inputs rather than HDMI. It would be ideal for consumers that are still using televisions made more than a decade ago.</p>
<p><a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Roku-Premiere.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25716" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Roku-Premiere.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="Roku-Premiere" width="900" height="450" srcset="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Roku-Premiere.jpg 900w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Roku-Premiere-300x150.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p>Moving up to the 4K set-top box, the Roku Premiere streaming 4K content at 60 frames per second and comes with a line-of-sight remote. For an additional $20 at a $100 price point, the Roku Premiere+ supports HDR (for a wider range of colors) and includes an wired Ethernet port as well as the &#8220;point-anywhere&#8221; remote with the headphone jack.</p>
<p><a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Roku-Ultra.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25717" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Roku-Ultra.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="Roku-Ultra" width="900" height="450" srcset="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Roku-Ultra.jpg 900w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Roku-Ultra-300x150.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p>On the high end, Roku is launching a Roku Ultra at $130. It has everything that the Roku Premiere+ offers in addition to voice searching, a remote finder and a digital optical audio output for anyone that prefers that audio format when pushing out to a receiver. That model basically replaces the Roku 4 flagship model.</p>
<p>If you are looking for a 4K player for your new 4K television, you may want to wait until after October 4, 2016 when Google is expected to announce a couple of streaming player upgrades. The rumored &#8220;Chromecast Ultra&#8221; will stream 4K content to televisions for a possible price of $70, $10 cheaper than the Roku Premiere. It&#8217;s not clear if the Chromecast Ultra will also support HDR.</p>
