AGPTEK HDMI Media Player Black
Score: 72/100
Roku Express 4K+
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Roku Express 4K+ streams 4K UHD/HDR content over dual-band Wi-Fi and includes a voice remote that controls TV power and volume. It does not offer Ethernet, Dolby Vision, or Dolby Atmos, and has limited internal storage. It's a great budget streaming stick for 4K TVs that value simplicity and voice control.
The AGPTEK Black Mini HDMI Media Player offers durable aluminum construction and extensive codec support with full-HD 1080p output. Its lack of 4K and reliance on an IR remote with missing batteries constrain advanced use. Suited for travelers and simple home media playback.
