My review of the Roku Streaming Stick 4K.

The Ultra is the only 4k Roku with wired ethernet correct ?

Yes. It's also the only one with a USB port for viewing or listening to your personal media files.

Thanks. I have a smart TV, the Sony X900H. Is there any benefit to using the Roku Ultra instead of the TV's android system ? My brother has Roku and he raves about all the free programming.

If your TV’s apps all work well and you get audio to whatever speakers you use, then there’s no need to buy an extra box and use and extra remote.

But if you use a receiver and ARC doesn’t work for you… Or you want Atmos and the Sony apps don’t support that… or you really prefer the UI of an AppleTV, then you’ll want / need an external streaming box.

As for extra content, you can see what they’ve got and if it interests you.
