    What is the difference between Roku Express and Roku Express 4K?

    Roku Express streams HD picture quality, while Roku Express 4K can stream in 4K picture and HDR color. Also, Roku Express features a single-band Wi-Fi® connection while Roku Express 4K features dual-band Wi-Fi®. This means that you’ll enjoy a smoother streaming experience, even with multiple devices connected to your network.


      What is 4K streaming?

      4K describes the picture quality you can get while you’re streaming, as long as you have a 4K compatible TV. With 4x the pixels as standard HD picture quality, 4K is crisp and clear so you’ll experience lifelike detail. Plus with High Dynamic Range (HDR), you’ll experience brighter colors that pop and sharp contrast.


        Can you use a 4K streaming device on a non-4K TV?

        You can use a 4K streaming device, like Roku Express 4K, on a non-4K TV as long as it has an HDMI port, but you’ll only be able to stream in HD picture quality. Even if you don’t have a 4K TV, you can still enjoy smooth streaming with Roku Express 4K thanks to its dual-band Wi-Fi® connection.


          Do I need a 4K streaming device?

          If you have an HD TV you don’t need a 4K streaming device, although you may want to get a 4K player anyway in case you decide to get a new TV in the future. Roku Express 4K features dual-band Wi-Fi® in addition to 4K streaming, so even if your TV can’t display 4K picture, you’ll still enjoy smooth streaming.
