VideoUp to 2160p at 60 fps (3840 × 2160) with up-scaling from 720p and 1080p; needs HDCP 2.2 for 4KUp 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, HDR10+ and HLGHDR10; Dolby Vision is not supported
AudioDigital stereo over HDMI; DTS Digital Surround and Dolby-encoded audio pass-through over HDMI (Roku doesn't list Dolby Atmos)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
