Video720p, 1080p and 4K Ultra HD; up to 4K at 60 fps (Roku's exact Gilbert 4K/3920X developer row). HDCP 2.2 required for 4K/HDRUp to 4K HDR at 60 fps; AVForums identifies HDMI 2.0a with HDCP 2.2 and tested automatic display refresh-rate matching on the original software
HDRHDR10 in Roku's exact developer row; the 2019 UK reviews report no Dolby Vision, HDR10+ or HLGHDR10; Dolby Vision is not supported
Audio–AVForums found Dolby Digital Plus Atmos output available, but no UK streaming apps using it at the time; its Plex tests passed multichannel core Dolby Digital and DTS, not Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD MA. TechRadar's broad claim of no Atmos conflicts with that test, so the main Atmos field is omitted
