I'm currently in the process of redecorating my bedroom and trying to incorporate certain aspects of the decades - but I don't want to completely cut myself off from the outside world lol. The Roku Express+ is great and breathes new life into my 2004, 13" Toshiba tube TV! I love not having to give up all of the streaming apps and shows I've grown attached to in recent years. And yes, it thankfully supports Disney+! Now I can watch so many wonderful throwbacks the way they're meant to be watched. It's nice. The main downside is navigating any sort of menu on a TV this small. Not sure if this happens with larger CRTs, but the edges tend to get cut off on certain apps. The text is also soooo teenie-tiny and thin/washed out it's borderline impossible to read. I have the Roku picture set to fit 4:3, but it doesn't help the cutting-off issue at all. That's a bummer. Thankfully, I've navigated these apps on HD TVs countless times already, so I know where everything is like the back of my hand. Plus, I'm young and still have my eyesight and can make out most of the important writing lol. Titles are readable, but descriptions are entirely unreadable. The subtitles on actual streaming content are perfect though. The video quality is also fantastic, but I think that has a lot to do with the TV holding up pretty well. Everything loads quickly too! The Roku is designed to stay on all the time, so the device itself is constantly warm and there's no power button on the remote. There's also no volume control on the remote either, you need to use the TV remote. You definitely need to use the adhesive to anchor the device too because it's sooo lightweight. Overall, I recommend this and I'm still giving 5 stars because it does the job! My Toshiba works perfectly fine and it's so cute. It'd be a shame to toss it out, so I'm glad I don't have to. I love curling up with a good TV show or new movie every night now. Thanks, Roku! Review: Best 37 bucks I ever spent. - There's a lot of talk these days about streaming, and "cutting the cord," that is, saying guh-bye to cable and seeking out some alternative form of entertainment... usually streaming. And I don't blame people for this. There used to be an incredible variety of stuff on cable, but not anymore. And of course for years, I was thinking of hopping on the streaming bandwagon, but there was one thing getting in my way: my insatiable nostalgia for the old CRT (tube) TVs. Most streaming devices these days hook up to the TV using an HDMI port, which of course a CRT doesn't have. Then when I saw this product, I chose to see it as final and clinching proof of the existence of God. Okay, so maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit there, but the thing is, it works. I have an old (read: 1999) Zenith console TV, and I was able to make that jalopy into my go-to home entertainment device. The picture quality is superb, at least for that thing, and to be able to have access to Netflix, Hulu, desertcart Prime, etc. is a lifesaver for me, because now I get to pick and choose what I watch, and when I want to watch it. It can also watch YouTube on your TV, which isn't a lifesaver per se, but it's pretty snazzy. I do have one complaint, however: The remote that came with it didn't work, but I had an old "universal" remote lying around that I was able to successfully program to work with this device. Sprucing up old CRT TVs isn't its only function, though; it does have an HDMI port, but I doubt it supports 4K or has all the bells and whistles of the full-featured Roku player. But if you're looking for more streaming bang for your buck, I would definitely recommend it to anybody. ## Features - Turn your older TV into a smart TV with the Roku Express+, which works for TVs with HDMI or composite cable - You'll get the Roku streaming player experience at an incredible price - Set-up is effortless - Kick back and access to 350, 000+ movies and TV episodes across 3, 500+ paid or free channels, including Netflix, VUDU, Hulu and PBS KIDS ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01M2AJZ5P | | Best Sellers Rank | #315,936 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #909 in Streaming Media Players #1,043 in Wireless & Streaming Audio Systems | | Brand | Roku | | Built-In Media | All | | Color | Black/White | | Compatible Devices | Television | | Connectivity Technology | HDMI | | Connector Type | HDMI | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,860 Reviews | | Item Weight | 6.4 ounces | | Manufacturer | ROKAG | | Mfr Part Number | 3710RW | | Model Number | 3710RW | | Other Special Features of the Product | Composite Cable Input | | Resolution | 720p | | Special Feature | Composite Cable Input | | Supported Internet Services | hulu, netflix, vudu | | UPC | 829610001272 | | Warranty Description | 1 Year | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Roku - **Color:** Purple - **Connectivity Technology:** HDMI - **Connector Type:** HDMI - **Controller Type:** Remote Control - **Form Factor:** TV Box - **Model Name:** express+ - **Resolution:** 1080p - **Special Feature:** Composite Cable Input - **Supported Internet Services:** hulu, netflix, vudu ## Images ![Roku Express+ | HD Streaming Media Player, Includes HDMI and Composite Cable - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Pa8KtdO3L.jpg) ![Roku Express+ | HD Streaming Media Player, Includes HDMI and Composite Cable - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51lOuDPALOL.jpg) ![Roku Express+ | HD Streaming Media Player, Includes HDMI and Composite Cable - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51oCo0tkROL.jpg) ![Roku Express+ | HD Streaming Media Player, Includes HDMI and Composite Cable - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61dcdqGsZnL.jpg) ![Roku Express+ | HD Streaming Media Player, Includes HDMI and Composite Cable - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51agvG1lxOL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: do you have to have the usb cable for powering roku express +??** A: No, the unit comes with all the cables need to power and hook it to the older TVs and DVRs with RCA inputs. If something goes wrong, it is the standard micro USB to USB cable. **Q: Can u go online with this on your tv? or can you watch cbs?** A: Great question and you can watch CBS via the cbs website or you can subscribe to various services that carry CBS for a few dollars/month.This product turns your old tv into a smart tv, but you won't be able to "surf" the web like on your computer. I believe ROKU has an app that will allow casting from your computer to your TV and there's your surfing, albeit via a mirroring app. Hope this helps. Oh, BigGreenBuddha also has other Roku versions. We'll get them online soonest. **Q: Can i listen on headphones while watching on tv** A: Yes if you have a remote that does or use the roku remote app via smartphone **Q: is it compatible with 802.11/ac ?** A: Depends on what you mean by compatible... According to the Roku website for the product, it's built-in wifi is only up to N class, and doesn't say if it's 2.4 GHz only or also 5 GHz N. So, if you have an AC wifi router, this Roku device won't connect on AC, but will connect on at least the 2.4 GHz N wifi that your router also can use. https://www.roku.com/products/roku-express-plus ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 90s/2000s living with modern connectivity! :) *by B***Y on September 18, 2020* I'm one of those embarrassing, 27-year-old millennials hopelessly nostalgic for my childhood and perpetually stuck in the late 90s/early 2000s.

It was easy to hook up, I even took it traveling so I could watch my Netflix at my hotel. My older HD tv only has one HDMI port which is occupied by my satellite dish’s cable, so the option to use another hookup type is great. I have Direct TV and a lot of the channels have Roku apps, but the Direct TV Now app is a completely different thing. There’s still plenty to watch. It’s easy to unplug and toss in my overnight bag if I’m staying at a friend’s house so we can binge watch together. This device is easy to use once your Roku account and apps are set up. Yes, the Roku account is completely free, they will just read your mind in a semi-creepy way and provide you appropriate advertisements on some of the free channels. Seriously, my boyfriend was grilling burgers and we were having some beers, and it must have known because we got to watch McDonalds and Bud Light commercials the rest of the night. Coincidence? Maybe, but who knows these days. I’m not one of those conspiracy theorist people, I just find it funny and a little creepy. Anyways.... I only wish it had a power button. It turns itself off after it hasn’t been used for a while, but it’s kind of a WiFi hog on a slower internet connection. I just unplug it to solve that problem though. ## Frequently Bought Together - Roku Express+ | HD Streaming Media Player, Includes HDMI and Composite Cable - Universal Remote Control Replacement for Insignia TVs - Amazon Basics High-Speed 4K Ultra HD HDMI 2.0 Cable/Cord, 3ft / 0.9m, 18 Gbps, 60 Hz, 2160p, 48 bit, Male-to-Male, Ethernet Ready, 3D, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/36681736-roku-express-hd-streaming-media-player-includes-hdmi-and-composite](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/36681736-roku-express-hd-streaming-media-player-includes-hdmi-and-composite) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
