Roku is well-known in the world of streaming devices, but they're typically known for their external dedicated smart TV boxes and streaming sticks. In 2014, TCL and Hisense launched new lines of TVs with the Roku Smart TV interface integrated into their TVs, offering the same great streaming interface and channel selection without needing an external device. Hisense is sparingly releasing new TVs with the Roku Smart Interface now, and TCL has released fewer recently; however, some of their 2022 models can still be purchased. Thankfully, Roku released their own line of TVs in 2023, and they are widely available. Of course, you can buy a Roku box and connect it to any TV, but these recommendations focus on TVs that are powered by Roku's operating system.
Not all Roku TVs are the same. However, by putting their models through our in-depth testing process, we can see how bright their models get, how deep their blacks are, what gaming features are supported, and how vibrant their colors are, just to name a few. Below are our recommendations for the best Roku TVs you can buy, depending on your needs and budget. See our picks for the best budget TVs, the best smart TVs, and the best small TVs. You can also vote on which ones you want us to buy and test. To learn more about the current models from other brands, check out our 2025 TV lineup page.
Quick Look
We buy and test dozens of TVs yearly, taking an objective, data-driven approach to deliver results you can trust. Our testing process is complex, with hundreds of individual tests that take over a week to complete. Most of our tests are done with specially designed test patterns that mimic real content, but we also use the same sources you have at home to ensure our results match the real-world experience. We use two main tools for our testing: a Colorimetry Research CR-100 colorimeter and a CR-250 spectroradiometer.

Best Roku TV
Mixed Usage7.7HDR Movies7.8Sports7.3Video Games8.7Resolution4kNative Refresh Rate120 HzScreen FinishSemi-glossTypeLEDSub-TypeVASee all our test resultsDolby VisionYesThe best Roku TV we've tested is the Roku Pro Series 2024. Overall, it's a good TV with great contrast due to its local dimming feature that provides deep blacks in a dark room. The TV also has amazing SDR brightness, but its only decent reflection handling means it struggles with reducing reflections caused by direct sources of light, so you won't want to place a lamp across from the screen. HDR content is impactful in darker or moderately lit rooms, thanks to the TV's excellent HDR brightness and wide color gamut, which leads to highlights and colors that pop out. Unfortunately, the TV's narrow viewing angle limits its usefulness in a group setting.
Still, the TV is packed with modern gaming features like HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on two ports capable of 4k @ 120Hz and VRR for a nearly tear-free gaming experience, meaning you can take advantage of your PS5 and Xbox Series X's capabilities. Additionally, the TV's low input lag ensures a very responsive gaming experience. The TV supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, but it doesn't passthrough advanced DTS audio formats that are common on physical media. Still, you get a variety of smart features, including voice control, to easily find your favorite content.

Best Cheap Roku TV
Mixed Usage5.4Home Theater5.3Bright Room6.4Sports6.4Gaming5.1Brightness5.2Black Level4.2Color6.1Processing (In Development)5.9Game Mode Responsiveness5.3Resolution4kNative Refresh Rate60HzScreen FinishGlossyTypeLEDSub-TypeVASee all our test resultsDolby VisionNoGo with the Roku Select Series if you want something much cheaper than the Roku Pro Series 2024. It's a simple TV that doesn't deliver the same overall picture quality but is available in smaller sizes. It isn't nearly as good in a dark room as the more expensive Roku due to its lack of local dimming, so blacks aren't deep at all. However, its SDR brightness is okay, and its reflection handling is decent enough that you can use the TV in a moderately lit room. On the other hand, it's too dim in HDR and doesn't display the range of colors needed for an impactful HDR experience. Additionally, this model doesn't support Dolby Vision.
Like the top pick on this list, it has a narrow viewing angle, so it's best viewed from directly in front. The TV is very light on gaming features; it doesn't support VRR and is limited to 60Hz. However, it still has low input lag, so it's okay for casual gamers. Fortunately, the TV's remote has an integrated microphone for voice commands and a headphone jack for private listening, which are nice features to have at this price point. This TV's 43-inch and larger sizes are 4k, the 40-inch model has a 1080p resolution, and the 32-inch model has a 720p resolution, so choose accordingly.

All Reviews
Our recommendations above are what we think are currently the best Roku televisions to buy for most people. We factor in the price (a cheaper TV wins over a pricier one if the difference isn't worth it), feedback from our visitors, and availability (no TVs that are difficult to find or almost out of stock everywhere).
If you would like to do the work of choosing yourself, here is the list of all our reviews of Roku TVs. Be careful not to get too caught up in the details. While no TV is perfect, most TVs are great enough to please almost everyone, and the differences are often not noticeable unless you really look for them. Also, keep in mind that our scores aren't comparable across different test benches, so the older TVs in the list below score higher than they would today.
