Roku Premiere is the latest, slick, smooth, and nimble media streamer. It has a lot of competitors like Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV Stick, and more, but there are a few things that set Roku Premiere apart from others. Roku is particularly interesting because it is budget-friendly and it costs below $50, streams 4K videos, and offers apps for every service you might require.
The Roku Premiere – 3920 model, comes along with a power adapter, USB cable, an IR remote control, and a tiny HDMI cable. If you like, you can use your mobile as a remote control using the Wi-Fi connection. Roku features a few preset channel shortcuts that also includes Netflix and two AAA batteries. In the package, you will also find an adhesive strip and setup guide briefing you about the device.
The package of the device is in orange color. This media streamer promises to offer hassle-free 4K and HDR streaming. They also provide a lot of free and subscription services. The default setting of the content streaming is set at 1080p, but you can tweak the settings if you have any 4K content. But to stream that 4K content, you must have a suitable and robust internet connection along with a TV that has HDCP 2.2 compliant HDMI port.
Specifications
The body of the product is made up of plastic which has 3.30 x 1.40 x 0.70 inches of dimensions. At the back of the model, there is a port for single micro-USB power and HDMI. There is also a restart button that can be used with the help of a pin. There is also an 802.11bgn single-band wireless chip that will help you connect the Roku Premiere with your network.
The device uses a quad-core ARM Cortex A53 processor along with 1GB of RAM and 512MB of channel storage. Unfortunately, there is no slot for a microSD card. It can stream 4K ultra HD videos up to 2160p at 60fps, and it also supports HDR10 and Hybrid Log-Gamma. Since the Dolby ATMOS and digital stereo on the device pass-through HDMI, you get to experience DTS Digital Surround and Dolby Audio.
Set-Up
It is quite easy to set it up. You can use the mains electric connection or use the 5V USB power outlet. The HDMI cable of the device is short, so you have to keep it close to your TV, or you can use the adhesive strip for a better grip.
You can also set it up with Wi-Fi, but the procedure is different. Begin with connecting your Roku account on a PC to activate the device. Then go to the Roku device for setting all the channel apps. Create a new account on the apps or log-in to an existing account. The compact design and remote control make it a great device, overall.
App Installation
The Roku Premiere offers a massive variety of options for the channels that you can install and remove. It is as simple as using an app. But the number of channels you receive will vary based on your location. Overall, there are plenty of channels to choose from, and the channels are categorized for better accessibility. You can play basic games as well.
From the Settings menu, you can delete any app you want. It will offer you a bunch of options for changing themes, screensaver, system update, language, guest mode, and more. You can choose screen mirroring in case Roku missed out on any of your favorite apps. To use this feature, follow these steps:
Go to Settings and select System.
Click on Screen Mirroring and select if you want to allow the connection or issue a prompt.
If you are using an Android device for mirroring, then use a mirroring app. You can use the feature on an iOS device as well. But it doesn’t support Windows.
Overall, Roku Premiere is an excellent media streamer even if it lacks to offer volume control. The technicalities are also easy to understand. It is a great deal to grab.
