What's Best for you? Roku Express 4K vs Streaming Stick 4K

Thanks for checking out this video. I hope it helped you save money! Here's the Roku Playlist - bit.ly/3TS04Ey

I just bought the Streaming Stick 4K for my bedroom tv and I love it. It was easy to pair to my tv, and is very easy to use. Great selecton of channels, movies, etc. Very happy with it so far.

One MAJOR difference between the 2 on the remote is the box needs to have remote pointed directly at it. The other is IR which means it does not need to be pointed directly which is a pretty big difference as well.

Thanks for the comparison between the Roku Express 4K+ and the Roku Streaming Stick 4K. I have the Roku Streaming Stick 4K and, because of your terrific comparison video, I realized that it would be a "step backward" to go from my Streaming Stick 4K to the Roku Express 4K+. Thanks for the fantastic information!

The one key benefit of using the express over the stick is that the batteries used with the stick remote do not last that long because of the constant WiFi used for communication. You really need to get rechargeable batteries for the remote if you're going to use the stick.

As others have noted, while you said the remotes are the same, one is IR (and I hate that silly module) and the other is wireless. I very much prefer the wireless, especial in the bedroom... the remote works under bedding. We have a few TCI Roku TVs which I like even more than the addon devices. They came with IR remotes but can be paired with wireless and can be plugged into ethernet for even more reliable performance. I wish the sticks used a small cord, some TV HDMI ports are hard to plug in. Your stick/TV shown would make wall mounting a issue.

One advantage of the Express 4k + is that if you want to purchase an after market remote, almost all that I've seen are IR only, meaning you can't use them for the stick. I have one in the bedroom and I'm purchasing a remote with back-lighting, which comes in handy for that room.

Thank you for this. I was so confused when I started looking at the different version on Amazon. Your video made it a lot easier to understand!

🤯🤯thank you soooo much I've ben looking for a while into getting roku and was debating on which one to get and understand. This broke it down soo easy and understandable. Waay better then any store person that's just trying to make a buck.

Information provided in this video is everywhere. Nothing unique or different discussed. People always look out for something unique. For example talk about the Dolby Atmos passthrough in Roku Stick. Very interesting topic! That is game changer in this small device. Cheers!

Do I need separate internet if the Roku has wifi and Are there any monthly charges related to Roku four streaming stick or Roku 4+ express?

Thanks buddy I've been setting up my brand new house following just about everything you suggest. Matter of fact I just got through putting in the beehive water controller. I like it I'm sure I'm going to like the new Roku. Thank you for your videos

Do you know if the LG Magic remote can control either device?

I've just bought a TCL 6 series 55 inch TV. Will the remote for the Roku + work the TV? I have a Sharp Roku TV and I do like the Roku set up better that the TCL.

Hey thanks for a great understandable comparison!

Hey thanks for the great video! Which Roku would you recommend with an outdoor projector?

I'm trying to learn of these products. I've never used a streaming service. What is long distance Wi-Fi as mention at the 3:35 mark?

Thank you better then all the other platforms you got right to the point.

Just curious, what is use case for this streaming stick ? , Smart TVs devices have been support 4k too

Thank you. This has been very helpful.
