Overview
The Roku Streaming Stick 3800R plugs into an HDMI port and streams over Wi-Fi in 1080p Full HD, weighing well under a pound so it tucks behind almost any screen. It suits anyone replacing a smart TV's built-in apps with Roku's channel lineup rather than shoppers chasing 4K.
This model caps out at 1080p, so it's built for older or budget TVs rather than 4K sets, where a newer Roku stick would make better use of the panel. Its small form factor and Wi-Fi-only connection keep setup simple: no ethernet port, no companion soundbar hookup, just HDMI and power.

Who it's for
Well suited to owners of 1080p TVs or older 4K TVs without built-in streaming apps who want Roku's interface without buying a new television. Not the choice for anyone with a 4K or HDR display who wants to see it used to full resolution.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Small enough to sit behind most TVs
- Runs Roku's full channel and app catalog
- Simple HDMI plug-and-power setup
- 1080p output only, no 4K or HDR
- Wi-Fi only, no ethernet port
Performance notes
Streaming quality depends on the Wi-Fi signal reaching the stick's built-in antenna, since there is no ethernet jack to fall back on for a wired connection. Output is fixed at 1080p Full HD, so the device does not attempt to upscale content to 4K.
