Roku has finally drew the curtains on the highly anticipated
Roku 4.
Confirming all rumors that the new streaming device will support 4K
Ultra HD video. Though slightly bigger than its predecessors, the
$129.99 sticker price is pretty reasonable given its faster processor
and features that places it in a class by itself. We should start to
see them on store shelves everywhere after October 21st.
Adult
Roku Channel providers and adult entertainment companies alike usually
waste no time getting out in front on new technologies. With Roku 4
and its ability to streaming 4K videos at 2160p, will be no different.
Many channels already offer Roku porn in high definition content in some form or
another. While others offering
exclusive HD porn videos will likely be among the first to deliver 4K Ultra HD.
With
Roku's 7 million active monthly owners who have already streamed 2.5
billion hours in the first six months of 2015, we can certainly expect
to see these numbers curve sharply going into 2016 with Roku 4 making
huge impact. Not to mention Vizio and LG are already offering 4K Ultra
HD TV's in the price range of $550.00.
