Everyone knows Roku for its smart TV operating system and line of streamers; now, however, the brand makes its own TVs. At CES 2023, Roku announced its own Roku Select and Roku Plus TVs coming Spring 2023 and starting at just $119.
Roku’s TVs start at just $119 for a 24-inch model and go up to $999 for a 75-inch model, showing how aggressive Roku is with its pricing. What’s more, you can choose the size that suits you best, thanks to an extensive range of 11 TVs from 24 inches to 75 inches. Of course, all of these Roku TVs will come with the trademarked Roku OS and user experience.
While we’re not far from the Spring 2023 release date of these Roku TVs, the brand hasn’t released all that much in terms of specs and details about the sets themselves. However, there are a few important pieces of information out there. First, the Select line will be the entry-level line, while Roku’s Plus TVs will be more expensive and come with some extra features.
For example, Roku notes that their HD TVs will come equipped with Roku Voice Remotes, while their Plus Series TVs will come with Roku Voice Remote Pros, implying that the Plus Series will be a 4K line while the Select Line will be HD. to be. But of course that remains to be seen, and it would be rather unusual for a 75-inch 1080p TV to go on sale in 2023.
All of Roku’s TVs will come with an extensive audio ecosystem through integration with Roku’s wireless soundbar, as well as Roku features like Find My Remote, Private Listening, and the full suite of streaming content we’ve all come to expect from Roku. While we’ll have to wait for more information, it’s reasonable to expect Roku TVs to compete with other budget brands like Toshiba, Hisense, and TCL that dominate the budget TV market and sell Roku sets themselves.
So you shouldn’t expect Roku TVs to go toe-to-toe with an LG C2 OLED or anything like that, but if you’re looking for a budget TV, you like the Roku operating system and just want something easy to use that won’t break the bank, Roku TVs will probably be at least worth checking out. Especially considering the cross-compatibility they’ll have with other Roku kits.
Plus, Roku also announced a new premium OLED TV reference design now available to Roku TV partners, so we can expect to see more OLED Roku TVs from other brands popping up in the future as well. Good news for budget TV fans!
