Score: 80/100
Roku Ultra Ultimate
Score: 87/100Rankings

The Roku Ultra 2024 is Roku's flagship streaming player offering cinema-grade 4K HDR10+, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and a premium rechargeable remote. Its trade-offs are higher power draw, modest 4 GB storage and a single USB port, making it best for users with compatible 4K HDR TVs seeking top-tier performance.

The Sony BDP-S6700 is a compact Blu-ray player that upscales 1080p content to 4K and offers extensive streaming and high-resolution audio features. It falls short of true native 4K disc playback and has a modest UI with occasional slow load times. It's best for budget-conscious 4K-TV owners who want broad streaming and strong audio without needing native UHD Blu-ray.

Professional reviewers and editors consistently commend the Roku Ultra 2024 for its markedly faster interface, theater-grade 4K HDR10+/Dolby Vision video, Dolby Atmos sound, and the feature-rich Voice Remote Pro.
