Question: Should I get a Roku Express HD or, for a little more money, a Roku Ultra LT 4K/HDR/Dolby Vision/Dual-Band Wi-Fi with Roku Voice Remote? HD is all the resolution I can use for the foreseeable future.

In a rural environement and I just recently got wireless internet access that is not capped at 15 GB/month. This allows streaming.

Our 2 TV's are both Panasonic Plasmas, and I like Plasmas. So I'm stuck to HD 1080p and don't see getting 4K anytime soon.

Currently have Dish. Plan to cut the cord. Will get a Tablo DVR for over the air. I get good TV signal for local Networks. The Tablo requires a Roku type device to stream it's content to the TV. I'm sure I'll start streaming and see how that works out. I'm old school, a retired engineer. I still get recent movies at the Library on DVDs.

Roku Express: Cheap, 1080p

Roku Ultra LT: Less cheap, but still cheap, worth it for 1080p? Future proof?

Thanks for sharing your opinions!
