How do I set up my Roku Ultra?
Background
Roku Ultra (model 4800) and Roku Ultra LT (model 4662, sold exclusively at Walmart) are
premium streaming players designed to deliver an exceptional viewing experience. This article
describes both players in more detail and outlines steps for you to take to get them set up and
streaming.
Note: Roku Ultra model 4800 and Roku Ultra LT model 4662 replace Roku Ultra models
4670, 4661, 4660 and 4640. The same steps can be used to set up all models.
Will Roku Ultra work with my TV?
Roku Ultra and Roku Ultra LT will work with any television with an HDMI® connection.
However, you will not be able to take advantage of 4K Ultra HD resolution, or Dolby Vision™,
HDR10+, and similar HDR formats without a compatible TV. You can see more requirements in
the detailed articles about setting up your Roku player for 4K or setting up your Roku player for
HDR.
Note: Dolby Vision and HDR10+ are only supported on model 4800.
We recommend using a High Speed HDMI Cable if your TV only supports 720p and 1080p, or a
Premium High Speed HDMI Cable if your TV also supports 4K or HDR.
