The 3 best Roku TVs – Summer 2024: Reviews

If you want a Roku TV but the Roku Pro Series QLED is a bit too expensive, the Roku Plus Series QLED is the best mid-range Roku TV we’ve tested. Overall, it’s a decent TV with excellent contrast and an acceptable local dimming feature that helps improve the appearance of dark scenes. It has an amazing color gamut in HDR, though its color volume is limited by the TV’s adequate but not exceptional HDR peak brightness. Still, the TV looks vibrant enough for a pleasant HDR viewing experience. It gets bright enough to bring out some highlights and tracks the PQ EOTF properly, ensuring HDR content is displayed as the creator intended. Its reflection processing is good, so it performs adequately in a bright room, though it’s at its best when the lights are dimmed. It supports Dolby Vision HDR and HDR10+, so content looks its best regardless of the source. Unfortunately, the TV’s picture processing is poor, so watch high-quality 4K content to get the most out of this TV.

Overall, this TV isn’t very feature-rich. It doesn’t have motion features to help reduce judder or persistent blur. It doesn’t carry advanced DTS audio formats, but it can pass basic DTS 5.1 over ARC. It only removes 24p judder from external 24Hz sources like DVD or Blu-ray players. As for gaming, its refresh rate is capped at 60Hz, and it doesn’t support VRR. That said, its input lag is extremely low and its response time is great, so it’s still a very good gaming TV if you don’t care about advanced features. Its remote has a built-in microphone that lets you quickly search for content using your voice, and like other Roku TVs, you can also use voice commands through Roku’s companion app on your phone. You can also connect a pair of headphones to the remote for private listening. Ultimately, despite the lack of features, the Plus series has the best picture quality in its price range.
