I turned on my TV today to see an add on the Home screen of Roku stating I was selected to get 40% off a Roku streaming device.
This says it was a TARGETED ad so YMMV
Roku Express 4K+ is $23.99 instead of $39.99
Roku Streaming Stick 4K is $29.99 instead of $49.99
Roku Ultra is $59.99 instead of $99.99
Free Shipping
Apparently the Ultra is on backorder. When I ordered it, I received an email stating it was on backorder and it estimated shipping at 4/16.

I have three of the 2018 Roku Ultras and while they aren't "slow", they do take a few seconds to load apps. I do have Micro SD cards installed so it's not that it has to re-load the app. I'm just wondering if anyone has any firsthand experience with the two models, and if anyone knows if these current Ultras are still using the 2020 hardware. Google seems to suggest that is the case. Wondering if it would be worth upgrading at all aside from the rechargeable remote.

I bought the latest model a month ago and it suffers the same issue my 2020 Ultra suffers from. (Struggles for Samsung TV's on some HDR x265 personal media) So I'm guessing they're very similar.

It has been missing for me for a couple of years on my other Roku devices.
Kinda disappointing since I've been a long time Roku customer.
EDIT: Really? The above was worthy of downvotes?

My 2018 Ultras are still butter smooth. I purchased one of these recently and it's faster but not by much; not a huge upgrade if you have a previous Ultra. I'd personally wait for the refresh.
