Review on ๐Ÿ“บ Roku 3900SE SE- Quick High-Definition Streaming. Affordable On The Wallet by John Roberts

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good, but incessant buffering.

What I got was 3930x and no wall warts. Bought to replace 3900x which has overheated and shut down (low power message despite 2.0A wall wart). Well, "SE" works fine but goes into the "buffer" state every few minutes. Sits on my desk and starts monitor so not near a heat source I have a pipe at 90+ Mbit/s After about the tenth time it was "buffered" with the same setting as my 3900x I gave up and reinstalled my old unit and added five small heatsinks. Now it's running at around 125F but it's been running for around 4 hours now, no buffering. SE will support four ROKU devices on TVs and monitors, and one TCL Roku TV. No buffering.

Pros
  • Easy setup with included HDMI cable
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
