What the title says. I don’t know if the Apple TV is sincerely better than the Ultra, but since I’ve built up what I’d consider a fairly standard home theater system (4K tv with HDR, soundbar w/ Dolby Atmos…no surround system or anything overly fancy) the Roku has caused some annoyances. Right now the hassle is the Paramount Roku app keeps blanking the screen when watching Dolby Vision content, sometimes requiring a tv power cycle.

Anyways, I know I’m asking the Apple crowd here but I’m considering the switch but don’t know if it’s a difference of preferences or if Apple TV (4K) is genuinely superior?

I have both a Roku Ultra, and Apple TV 4K. They are both great. Apple TV may have a slightly better picture, and my kids game on it. I keep the Roku for its night listening mode. Apple does not have as good a “flat” volume mode for watching while the rest of the house is asleep.
