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

  • Support for HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG, All the streaming services you could want, Versatile and dependable companion app
  • Awkward design, No voice remote, Lacks Dolby Vision
  • Although the Express 4K lacks Dolby Vision support and there's no voice remote, the sheer number of positives make these gripes easy to forgive. The simple and accessible interface makes browsing a breeze and the extensive catalogue of content means that...

  • If you want to add streaming services to a dumb TV in the cheapest, most user-friendly way possible, Roku Express is a great and affordable option. It lacks some features of the Roku Streaming Stick+ but is a lot cheaper at just £29 (versus £49), and if y...

  • Some dated app designs, Still not the fatest in use
  • The Roku Express is a well-priced way of getting full HD streaming smarts into a not-so-clever telly, and at £30, it's bit of a bargain, but with some noticeable cuts to keep that price down. Having to keep the box on display is nowhere near as slick as o...
