The Roku 4 set top box is capable of streaming 4K content at up to 60 fps.
Roku has announced the rumored Roku 4 streaming player, signaling the company's jump into 4K content. Not only does the device support 4K content playback, it does so at a fast frame rate, with improved UI features from the company's latest software update and integration with the revamped Roku mobile app.
The Roku 4 immediately stands out among the company's previous players because of its wider, flatter design. It's still a rounded-off square, but it's been stretched to fit some new internals, primarily a quad-core processor. This helps the Roku 4 respond even faster when you're flicking in between apps to find your favorite show, and it also sports faster 802.11ac WiFi that not only helps stream regular content but is crucial when streaming 4K video.
Roku isn't messing around with 4K quality, as the Roku 4 will be able to stream 4K content in up to 60fps. Thanks to more rapid refreshing, the picture you'll see will be super sharp and clear with vibrant colors that help images pop off the screen. Neither the new Apple TV nor the Amazon Fire TV can stream 4K content at 60fps.
