It’s kind of crazy how cheap TVs have gotten. Seems to be the one thing that’s stayed affordable over the years. Sure, you can spend upwards of thousands for the most premium stuff, but if you’re just looking for something that works and fits the space, it can be super inexpensive. Take a look at this 55-inch Roku Smart TV. Normally, that only sells for $350, but right now, Amazon actually has it going for $100 off. That 29% discount brings it down to a measly $250 for a limited time.
Even in this price range, this Roku Smart TV still supports both 4K resolution and HDR. Every detail on screen will look crisp, and you’ll be presented with deep blacks and rich, vibrant color. At 55 inches, it’s a perfect size for a living room, den, or finished basement.
Sound is good too, with support for Dolby Audio. It’s even got built-in Bluetooth so you can connect a pair of surround sound headphones while rewatching Game of Thrones for a truly immersive experience.
Voice Remote
Roku TVs work smoothly with both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, making them easy to integrate into a smart home setup. The remote includes a built-in voice assistant, so you can quickly find what you want to watch without any fuss. This can be a godsend for avoiding those pesky, on-screen keypads. It takes far too long to type out, “I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson.” Far easier to just say that into your remote’s microphone.
And if the remote goes missing, the Roku mobile app lets you control the TV from your phone and jump right back into the newest episode of your favorite series.
The home screen is customizable, letting you arrange your favorite streaming apps for quick and convenient access. For instance, if you use YouTube often, you can pin it to the top for easy launching. In addition to major platforms like Hulu, Netflix, Disney+, and HBO, Roku TVs also offer their own original content that doesn’t require a subscription. Notable titles include Dinner Budget Showdown, Celebrity Family Food Battle, Martha Cooks, and Emeril Cooks (clearly, food is on my mind while writing this). You’ll also have access to more than 500 free TV channels featuring live seasonal programming, popular movies, weather updates, local news, and more at no extra cost.
This particular model of the Roku TV is the 4K LED. If you want a slightly better picture, you can instead opt for the 4K QLED model which right now is only $20 more at $270.
