Considering leaving Roku Ultra (alien.top)

What the title says. I don’t know if the Apple TV is sincerely better than the Ultra, but since I’ve built up what I’d consider a fairly standard home theater system (4K tv with HDR, soundbar w/ Dolby Atmos…no surround system or anything overly fancy) the Roku has caused some annoyances. Right now the hassle is the Paramount Roku app keeps blanking the screen when watching Dolby Vision content, sometimes requiring a tv power cycle.

Anyways, I know I’m asking the Apple crowd here but I’m considering the switch but don’t know if it’s a difference of preferences or if Apple TV (4K) is genuinely superior?

I like Apple TV's color sync/calibration. It's not comparable to professionally tuning your TV but it's a nice low effort feature knowing Apple does trying to find you the best color for your TV. I've tried all the smart boxes and prefer the Apple TV at the end of the day for the speed and color sync/calibration
