Today, it has become the norm to access online services to stream your favorite TV shows and movies. Online streaming is growing very fast and two big names in this market are undoubtedly Netflix and Roku. Netflix offers several types of shows and movies that are specific to audiences of a certain region, as well as shows that have a universal appeal. Roku, on the other hand, is known for its streaming stick and services that are used to access digital content on your large screen TV.

Features
The Hitachi TV with Roku OS built-in has several benefits over other 4K TVs. It offers a personalized Roku home screen that is very convenient and allows you to access whatever content you want from a particular streaming channel. Some require subscriptions, and these include Netflix and Amazon Prime. The TV also shows you what content can be screened in 4K and what content is not available in 4K. The TV also has a very easy-to-use interface

Another great feature of the Hitachi Roku 4K Ultra HD TV is that it reminds you when the next episode of your favorite show is coming out. It is important to remember that in order to stream content in 4K, you should have a good internet connection. Netflix recommends speeds as high as 25 Mbps. If speeds are not that high, then the signal may be downgraded to 1080p or lower, and the TV might convert that signal into 4K, but not native 4K quality streaming. Therefore, it is advised to have a fast internet speed.

Performance
There are several other features that make the Hitachi 4K TV a knockout. These include DLNA and UPnP compatibility that allows the TV to process images, audio files, and video from any home device, like a PC.

You can use your Wi-Fi connections and Ethernet to access the internet. There is also a 60hz screen refresh rate with backlighting that helps with live events like sports and ensures there is optimum viewing. Another benefit is the HDMI ports that are you can use to effectively plug in your Blu-ray player and other devices.

The TV can be controlled with a Roku remote or remote control app available on iOS and Android that can turn any smart-phone, tablet, or PC into the remote. A digital optical output is also present that allows you to connect to a soundbar and get better audio with a home-theatre receiver.

The Hitachi TV with inbuilt Roku OS is worth the investment. The 4K Ultra resolution and the High Dynamic Range provided make this beauty a game changer. The interface with bright icons is very elegant and responsive if you are a gamer as well.
