    The Roku 4k devices will allow you to stream up to 4k quality.  Non-4k Roku devices will allow you to stream HD quality (up to 1080p).

    Since you have a 4k TV, you will need a 4k Roku device in order to stream 4k content and receive 4k video quality.

    You can certainly use a non-4k Roku device on your 4k TV, but you will be limited to 1080p and not be able to stream 4k content.
