Few tech companies are as reliable as Roku. Every year, like clockwork, it releasess a new round of streaming video boxes, each a bit faster and better than what came before. There's the occasional welcome surprise, like the $50 Roku Stick that debuted earlier this year, but for the most part the company's strategy has focused on incremental improvements, not dramatic ones. Roku's latest batch of players mostly fit that mold, but they're notable for two things: reaching a low $30 price point with the Express, and delivering a $100 player that supports 4K and HDR.
That would be enough for a killer lineup, but there's also a flagship model with more bells and whistles: the $130 Ultra. After spending time with both the cheapest and priciest new Roku players, I was surprised to find myself more intrigued by the possibilities of a $30 player than a high-end powerhouse.
