The Roku Premiere is a physically odd streaming device. It’s compact and light, but you wonder why Roku didn’t turn it into a small stick. Instead, it looks like the front end of a streaming box cut into three pieces. It doesn’t even have the weight to stand flat on a surface, instead dangling out of your TV at the end of a bundled HDMI cable, with a USB cable and power plug providing power. ..
The remote control requires line-of-sight, which is a shame considering that the Premiere’s design otherwise invites you to hide it away. It also doesn’t have a microphone for voice control.
Both problems can be solved by downloading the Roku app. The app lets you send touch and voice commands over the Internet, and also allows you to use your phone as an audio receiver that allows private listening through headphones. This is useful if you want to listen privately without plugging your headphones directly into the TV. ..
The Apple TV is a great device for anyone who wants to watch 4K HDR movies. It has a spec sheet that includes some strong highlights, such as the inclusion of the Apple TV+ streaming service. Whether or not you’re interested in the new Apple TV+ service, it also gives you paid access to the best selection of 4K HDR movies available. If you own a 4K HDR TV, it’s definitely worth having in your life.
The Apple TV premiere of “A Quiet Place” was a letdown. The colors were garish, exaggerated, and lacked any subtlety of shading. In the daylight scenes, the film had a warm, bright color palette, but the premiere ramped this up to a comic book-like unrealism.
