Not quite ready for 4K playback? Well, Roku Express is available for $25 at Amazon. It offers HD playback, with no HDR in sight. You’ll also lose out on the built-in voice remote, which could be useful in your setup. But, for those on a tighter budget, this is a killer upgrade from the built-in operating system of most lower-cost televisions.
Instead, you could opt for the Apple TV HD with all-new Siri Remote at an Amazon low of $130 right now. Sure, it doesn’t offer 4K Dolby Vision streaming, but you’ll find that it functions as a HomeKit Hub and packs AirPlay 2 functionality, something that the Fire TV 4K above doesn’t offer.
