Finally...I just watched the Bee Gees documentary airing on HBO via our Roku Ultra. Was debating dumping it until Max appeared, Thanks for the heads-up.
I was getting stuff reset at my parent's home, and I didn't even think of the fact HBO Max on was on their Roku. I just made certain it was set up. Once I got home, it dawned on me. Wait... HBO Max is on Roku?! So yippee! AT&T just gives it away with 1 Gbps, so I'll take it. TCM, Cartoon Network are our main uses of it.

- HBO Max is rolling out a new update that will enable 4K HDR streams from the app.
- 4K HDR will only be available on select devices for now.
- Wonder Woman 1984 will be the first movie to be streamed on the app in 4K HDR.
The update is currently rolling out, but only for users on select devices. The list includes the following:
- Supported Android TV devices
- Chromecast Ultra
- Chromecast with Google TV
- Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K
- Amazon Fire TV Cube
- 4K Fire TV Edition smart TVs
- AT&T TV
- Apple TV 4K
First one says supported android tv devices. So, I would guess that it would be included if it runs android.
I was hoping my new Google TV Chromecast and then my just purchased 2020 Roku Ultra would become my go-to device, but I seem to keep going back to my 4K FireTV stick, which I purchased for $25 about this time last year. Could've saved $130. lol
My current go-to in the living room is an NVIDIA Shield with AppleTV 4K as needed. Roku Ultra 2018 and Firestick 4K are also there if needed. The other TVs in the house all have Firestick 4Ks still. Anything more expensive would be wasted on those smaller, less used TVs.

Can confirm my TCL 8 received a update to HBO MAX this morning, I assume it is for 4K.
WW84 was certainly not worth a theater ticket, but "OK" since I already sub.
Totally agree, watched it last night with my daughter and while we both liked WW, this was a big disappointment along with the rest of the DC movies.
They oversaturated the market with the comic book movies.
Cancelled next HBO billing which will get me through His Dark Materials, as well as CBS AA (which will carry through to end of ST Discovery, not nearly as good as Season 2, but slightly better than 1.) Next surf will be to Hulu for probably just a month
Wonder Woman 1984 was too long and it seemed to have a lot of material they could of cut out to speed the plot along. The actions sequences were few and far between. There was also too much touchy feely talk. But it was nice seeing Linda Carter in the Credits playing her scene. They even did it like a Marvel movie and let the credits end and then another scene. Loved her in the series.
The story of WW84 was fine, but it is almost like it was directed by a different person. The pacing was terrible.
