Roku Ultra (2020) Review

Great performance ; Lots of high-quality channels ; Inventive remote control ; Dolby Vision HDR ; USB port for external media

Expensive ; Not much has changed since last year's model

You could also opt for the Chromecast with Google TV, also $50, which has Dolby Vision support (the Roku Streaming Stick Plus does not). However, you'd lose the Ethernet port for reliable streaming speeds, and your remote wouldn't be as smart (or easy...
