This my second Roku tv my first was a 24” but now I have the 43” the TVs themselves are good, the only thing that I hate yes hate about the TVs is when they start to shut off in the middle of a tv show or movie. If you remove that it would make your TVs 5 star ⭐️ TVs.
Noticed that the built in Roku Streaming Apps do NOT do well with sports or a lot of motion. Motion blur is a problem when using the included apps. I plugged in a Roku Stick and all the motion issues went away. TV needs 120hz and better app performance. Despite this flaw the TV is still a 4/5 for me
I’ve owned the 55” for about 6 months and the sound is better than most budget friendly TV’s. The picture is another story. If you use the the internal Roku the picture quality is not very good when viewing sports, but most other things aren’t bad. I have a Roku ultra and Apple TV device connected to it and the picture quality is far superior. It’s a little disappointing that I have to connect another device to it to get good picture quality considering the whole reason for buying this tv was to eliminate a device, but I’m dealing. Reading all the positive reviews I had such high hopes for this TV. I love Roku as I own 3 other device, currently, and 1 I no longer own as it was outdated.
The guide says all you need is a Phillips head screwdriver but you have to prethread the screws for the TV stand legs to go on and you just end up stripping all the screws. The stupidest set up ever.
I have the 50” Select 4K TV, for the price this is probably as good of a TV you can get. Relatively crisp image and strong colors, great sound, and fantastic interface. My gripe with this TV is when I stream YouTube TV 4K sports it defaults to an HDR mode which considerably downgrades the quality of the image relative to Standard feed (1080 HD). There’s no way to turn off HDR, and changing the settings does not fix the problem. Whites look gray, colors are extremely faded, no contrast, and poor brightness/backlight. Streaming a video on demand (instead of live sports) in 4k was actually great quality because it doesn’t switch into HDR mode. I am disappointed and hope they will add a way for us to turn off HDR or at least more options to adjust the image.
Bottom line: If your content does not need to use the “HDR” mode then don’t think twice and get it.
As the saying goes, happy wife, happy life. My wife loves this, and I too am impressed with the Roku 65" TV I bought. Set up to all our streaming services was very easy and she is loving the TV! The picture quality is great, and sound is excellent too. It's so good she hasn't even pestered me to set up the sound bar and surround sound system that was the other part of her Christmas gift!
