"Roku Premiere and Roku Premiere+ are the easiest and most affordable way to stream in outstanding picture quality. Tens of millions of 4K TVs will be sold this year; we're seeing more content, even live sports, produced and streamed in 4K and HDR as each week goes by," said Lloyd Klarke, director of product management, Roku. "At under $40, the new Roku Premiere is our lowest-priced 4K streaming player ever, and it's going to give consumers the best picture quality their TV can handle. It is great for HDTV today and even better if they decide to get a 4K TV tomorrow."
Fast Access to Free or 4K Content
With the Roku Premiere and Roku Premiere+, customers can search for favorite shows and discover thousands of free and paid channels to stream almost anything, including hit movies, popular shows, live TV, news, sports and much more.
