The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other LED, QLED and OLED TVs plus TV mounts, streaming media players, antennas, cables and satellite gear we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Roku Ultra LT slots between Roku's Express and full Ultra in terms of feature set and price. It outputs 4K UHD over HDMI and connects wirelessly. At $55.98 it is priced meaningfully above the Express 4K models, so buyers should verify exactly which remote and extras are included with this specific SKU before purchasing.
Roku's platform is consistent across all models: you get the same app library, free Roku Channel content, and familiar grid-based home screen regardless of which hardware you choose. The difference between tiers tends to come down to the remote, connectivity options, and processing speed rather than the platform itself.
The 4,000 monthly buyers and 4.6 rating across 386 reviews point to a genuinely popular device. The listing shows available in black or white, giving buyers a minor aesthetic choice. It weighs very little (no weight confirmed in data), suggesting it is a compact plug-in form factor.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Roku Ultra LT and the standard Roku Ultra?
The Roku Ultra LT typically has fewer included extras compared to the full Ultra. The full Ultra usually includes a premium voice remote with a headphone jack for private listening, Ethernet, and USB ports. The LT version may omit one or more of these. Always check the current product listing for a specific feature comparison before buying.
Does the Roku Ultra LT support private listening?
Private listening through headphones is a feature on some Roku remotes, including Roku mobile app streaming. Whether the included remote on this specific Ultra LT unit supports headphone private listening depends on which remote is bundled. The Roku mobile app supports private listening on any Roku device as an alternative.
Is the Roku Ultra LT good for a 4K TV?
Yes. It outputs 4K UHD, so it will deliver 4K content to a compatible 4K TV when streaming from services that offer it, like Netflix 4K or Disney Plus 4K. A fast and stable Wi-Fi connection is important for getting consistent 4K playback, particularly at 25 Mbps or above.
