Overview
The Roku 4801RW is a streaming media player with 4K UHD output, listing Bluetooth, Ethernet, HDMI and Wi-Fi connectivity in a black finish. It weighs about 1.34 pounds.
Having both Ethernet and Wi-Fi alongside Bluetooth for audio pairing puts it a tier above single-connection streaming sticks, useful for a household where the router sits far from the TV. HDMI covers the video connection to the display itself.

Performance notes
