    Is It Real or Is It Roku

    I was watching a neighbor's Roku TV when I decided it was time to bite the bullet and get my own. This was one of the best Tech decisions I made. I went to BestBuy to check out my options. The only thing that floored me more than the screen was the price. The price was so inexpensive, I didn't even think about the brand. What is the worse thing that could happen if you made a bad decision? The TV itself was light,which made it easy to take out of the box and set up. It even made it easy to mount once I installed the mount. The remote control was simple, which for me is a huge plus. (I am old enough to remember when TVs were simple, and parents used children as the remote control. LOL) Once I finally mounted the TV, I was ready to watch. The set up was also simple, and navigating to where you wanted to go was easy. Lots of choices without having to pay for anything. I watched a Lynyrd Skynyrd documentary, COPS (in Florida no less), Shark Squandron (en español), and all for Free!!! And then I found out you could stream Bloomberg! The picture was phenomenal. It really looks better than life. I couldn't believe I was getting this all through my AT&T WiFi. I didn't think it would have the bandwidth, especially since I had my laptop connected as well. A couple of "shortcomings," in my view. Nothing major. Once the TV connects to the WiFi, its hard to get it to realize it is also connected to an over-the-air antenna. (Roku probably wants to keep you on their platform. LOL) I am sure there is a way to point it to the antenna, but I didn't bother trying to figure it out. Another shortcoming is how much of my monthly 100GB of traffic it used on my AT&T hotspot. (That's really not the TV's fault, but it did take me by surprise when I was notified after 3 days that I only had like 35 Gigs left, and the month only started the day before I turned on the TV for the first time.) I also wouldn't be surprised if it s using the internet when it is plugged in and turned off. (I wouldn't be surprised if the TV is spying on you when its off. LOL) I am very happy with my purchase, and look forward to using it more once I get wired internet with no data cap.

    My aging mother lives with me, and "Smart" anything are usually a whole lot more difficult for her to use. My last smart TV - different brand - though easy for me to figure out how to use once set up, was too challenging for her abilities and so she just didn't watch it because she didn't know how to work it, and her hands would fumble with the remote. This ROKU is a major improvement!! Once I had it set up, settings adjusted, I showed her how to use it with the remote it clicked. The remote is wonderfully simple and user friendly for her needs (which is live TV, Prime movies, and those little channels with the oldie shows). The startup platform makes selection and scrolling very easy. She can navigate what is most relevant to her. Thank you ROKU!! Also, although I have only had it a few weeks, we are both happy with the sound and picture quality. Unlike my last smart TV, I'm not constantly having to increase or decrease the volume during action scene changes, and no annoying pixel lines (yet). A tip to the manufacturer: engineer them so the screen can fold and unfold like the new smart-phones - would make transport, storage, and moving easier. It was unwieldy getting this into my small car while boxed - but I do love it.

    I bought this TV because my old TV had picture problems, and I wanted to get a set that's slightly bigger. My old TV left a sour taste in my mouth for Smart TVs, and I was wary about buying another one. However, from the experience I've had with streaming boxes, I've deducted that the one I like the most is Roku, and if I was to get a new smart TV, it had to be a Roku TV. I prefer the Roku interface and remote to any other streamer I've tried. The user interface keeps it simple, it doesn't bombard you with gigantic ad on the top half of your screen (looking at you, Amazon) and the apps are sorted in a 3-column grid that everyone, even your elderly family members that can't work an iPhone, can probably immediately understand it. The remote is comfortable and has a good heft to it. On self-branded Roku TVs like this one, it comes with a "premium" Roku remote. It's thicker than the regular Roku TV remote you'll get with, say, a TCL or Hisense model. The box gives you everything you need for a basic setup. If you've had a Roku Ultra, it's that remote. The TV has four HDMI ports and one Composite input. I hook this up to multiple game consoles. Right now, I have a PS4, Nintendo Switch and Wii all hooked up via HDMI, on top of a Vizio soundbar with HDMI-ARC. I don't have to swap out cables to play a different system, and that's really nice. Overall, this TV is perfect for what I use it for, and I'd totally recommend this set if you want to get a good, cheap TV.

    Roku is absolutely awesome. I own two other Roku's that are a little older and I purchased them all at Best Buy. They all are wonderful but this new one has some up graded features such as speech recognition and enhanced remote that add to the pleasure of using and watching it. The sound quality is also much better than my older models. Roku seamlessly upgrades them along with you steaming channels nightly for your best viewing experience. It's nice that you can personalize the video as well as the sound to fit you best experience. I would highly recommend buying a Roku from Best Buy, mine was delivered free of charge with all the instructions I needed to hang it on the wall myself.

    Got this on Black Friday. 4K, 50” for $200. It was a GREAT deal. I recommend it. The interface is a bit slow, but aside from that…Roku makes solid equipment. The interface is super easy to use, and the TV just fits many needs. Picture quality is great. Love the remote too. No regrets. Great value overall.

    I love this TV. It’s my second Roku Smart TV and was even easier to set up than the one I bought for my den in 2016. The picture is crystal clear. It was super easy connecting my sound bar also. Unlike the Samsung TV it replaced, the sound bar boots up whenever I turn on the TV. Of the Amazon Fire TV that I hate & the Samsung un “Smart” TV that this replaced, the Roku Smart TV is the best smart TV hands down.

    I never thought of buying a Roku tv. Read reviews after my bedroom tv died. Decided to give it a try. I feel that it works better with my streaming apps than my higher priced lg tv in the living room. Picture is great love that there aren’t a ton of buttons on the remote. Priced perfectly.

    Excellent tv, i have every tecnology, oled, full array w/ and w/out local dimming even mini led. After the 77" oled $1800 i have a $1k sony with local dimming and then this as far as picture quality. Even the roku is fast and i have lits of experiance with that. This has a place, it probably the best 200 $ tv u could buy, plus free roku so its really only 160.

    Easy to install and set-up. Connect to your Roku account and you’ll be ready to go. I like the 4K. The color is very good. It’s a bright television. The remote has two additional buttons you can program. I would recommend buying this if you need a 50” TV.

    I already had this TV for a couple of years but I accidentally broke it when taking it off the wall mount in my room. Instead of buying a different type of TV, I bought the same TV again bc of how much I liked it. I never had any problems with it through out its use the last couple of years, the quality is good, and the sound is good. I feel like it’s a well rounded TV for the price and would recommend to other as well
