Roku Streaming Stick: Unboxing & Review (4K)

Dayumm, 4K footage downsampled to 1080p looks so darn crisp! -

Roku has definitely come a long way. Considering on getting one since my parents have the Apple TV in their room.

Thank you for always having clean and tidy fingernails lol I always enjoy your helpful reviews!

I think I'll be buying a 4K monitor next year now that my favourite reviewer is uploading in 4K!

LOVE the voiceover style. Keep it up!

Damn, 4k actually looks incredible down scaled to 1080p xD

Very informative and covered all the aspects. Well done Mike !

I loved the review, might be getting one of these. Thank you!

Hey Mike, I recently replaced an aging Roku 3 with the 2015 Roku 2 which is a Roku 3 re packaged with a basic IR remote without the enhanced features,  That model supposedly supports universal remotes, or also gives you the option of purchasing a wifi based enhanced remote while at the same time saves you some money up front, while giving you Roku 3 speeds and an option later to add all features later other than voice search to the Roku.  I did try the Roku streaming stick for about a week, and while I enjoyed the device, and it worked well.  I mised the usb port for local media option.  I didn't care much about the gaming features as I didn't use them hardly at all when I had them.

As usual, such great depth! :D awesome review!

"Noticeable lag"? Is there lag with videos or just lag when you press a button on your phone it takes a second to respond on the tv?

Hey Mike its great vid and i watch all of your can you please do an unboxing/review on the lg g3 im considering buying it but not sure thank you have a good weekend

i can't get the remote to register, stuck on the get started screen. any advice to getting it restarted

Here i can see only up to 1440p. What i need to do in order to see the video in 2160p?

I have no cable because I'm barely home, im wondering which device to get... Chromcast or Roku?? Might be an overkill because i have netflix and stuff but i want to lounge when i'm not feeling netflix. Any help?

Great video! But do you need to have a smart TV for this to work?

Thanks for the review, I've wondered about this stick. Great option for me if I just want the Roku to stream the internet and not from a USB media (since they don't support AVI files anyway). I've always had a Roku from day one. But I dont like the new wifi direct remotes. Even when no one is using the Roku, the remote still seems to scramble/mess with my router and internet when I'm using my mac to surf. I always have to unplug the Roku just to get anything done on other devices.

DetroitBORG What camera do you use to record your videos? Great review!

Does it work with a normal monitor or does it have to have a TV?

Mike, is this a voice over from an external mic or is It the on board mic on the camera?
