Roku Express Brings Affordable Streaming to Older 1080p TVs

The $30 Roku Express provides an affordable way to add streaming apps to any TV with an HDMI port. It works well for older 1080p TVs.
The interface is simple with a grid of apps and easy customization. No ads or clutter like some competitors' devices.
The remote lacks volume, mute, and TV power buttons. Short power and HDMI cords require placement near the TV.
Video is 1080p with no HDR. Audio lacks Dolby Atmos. Fine for most basic 1080p TVs but limits future-proofing.
Despite flaws, the Express is easy to use with quick access to apps. Good option for adding streaming to older TVs on a budget.
