Engima · Answer

Yes, as long as you have HDMI ports on your tv you can use it.
It will give the best resolution as per the TV capability. The remote with TV control buttons makes it even more awesome.

I am using it with a 1080 TV and it works quite well.

Yes as long as the TV has a HDMI input. You won’t get 4K but you will still have 720, 1080 or whatever the resolution is for your TV

Yes, I'm using a 4k stick on an old non-4k Samsung. You must have a hdmi connection on your TV. That's it.

is it ok to get a roku stick with 4k even if i don't have a 4k tv

Stickman · Answer

Yes, but on some non 4k tvs you will see some odd visual behaviour. For example: on non 4k tvs that I tested, and updating to the latest version of apps, I noticed that on some apps and using the pause/ rewind ( now 15 seconds not 30) the highlighting bubble on rewind or advanced is HUGE. No biggy but any anomaly is a red flag for the coder.

Yes you can you with a non smart tv. Firesticks turn your non smart tv into a smart tv. (You still need internet) Then you watch everything you can watch in smart tv.
