The editors didn't like

  • But while the Roku Express is the cheapest streamer on the market
  • It's far from being the fastest or most powerful
  • Even amongst its closest competitors. The decision to use an 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz Wi-Fi antenna instead of one that uses dual-band 802.11ac
  • Some menu lag
  • Sticks are more compact
  • The menus can seem dated compared to rivals
  • And some apps use old-school layouts
  • Some dated app designs
  • Still not the fatest in use
  • Supplied cables are a little short
  • May be superfluous for many
  • Strong competition from Amazon
  • Supplied cables are a little short (this may or may not be beneficial to some)
  • Awkward design
  • No voice remote
  • Lacks Dolby Vision
  • Some apps look dated
  • Still some lag
  • No Ethernet port
  • Restricted to Wi-Fi
  • Some input lag
  • No 4K/HDR support
  • There's no voice search through the remote
  • You can only mirror web pages if you have an Android smartphone or tablet
  • Shows can only be displayed in HD and not Ultra HD
  • The streamer lacks a MicroSD card slot
  • Ethernet port and a motion control remote

  • Abstract:  Aside from Its $30 price tag, the Roku Express feels like a streaming box from a bygone era. It's reminiscent of a time when we didn't demand much from our media streamers beyond a simple way to access Netflix or Hulu; when we were more willing to tolerat...

  • Abstract:  All Images: Christina Warren/GizmodoWhen the very first Roku launched in 2008, the bulky box had a clunky interface that only played Netflix. How far we've come. That initial idea ended up spawning an entire genre of streaming devices and set-top boxes t...

  • El Roku Expresstiene una salida analógica de audio y video, lo que te permite conectarlo a un viejo televisor. Es barato, fácil de usar y viene equipado con apps de 'streaming' incluyendo la versión más reciente de Netflix.
  • Es más lento, especialmente usando Netflix, que otros dispositivos que sólo tienen salida HDMI y que sólo cuestan unos cuantos dólares más
  • Con su precio asequible, su capacidad de video analógico y su acceso a la mejor variedad de contenido de la plataforma Roku, el Express+ es una opción segura para quien desee hacer 'streaming' de video en un viejo TV...

  • Très compact, Interface simpliste mais rapide
  • Marché d'applications très peu fourni pour la France, Pas d'application pour regarder les chaînes TV, Boîtier trop léger qui n'est pas très stable lorsque posé
  • Pour la France, Roku a choisi de mettre en avant son petit prix pour s'imposer face aux Apple TV 4K et autre Nvidia Shield TV qui ne concourent vraiment pas dans la même catégorie, que ce soit en termes de prix ou de fonctionnalités. Difficile néanmoins d...
