Roku Express 4K+ Review: $40 of TV simplicity

For the cost of the monthly subscription to a handful of streaming services, the new Roku Express 4K+ makes a strong platform play for being your set-top box of choice. As always, Roku's pitc…

$39.99 price is aggressive ; Voice remote has TV control buttons and is easy to use ; Roku OS 10 is clean and straightforward ; New WiFi and processor make things speedy ; HDR10+ support
