You probably already know about Roku streaming sticks . But did you know you can get a high-end smart TV actually designed and manufactured by Roku? The main reason to do this can be summed up in two words: simplicity and value . The company's higher-end, 2024 Roku Pro Series smart TV offers the same features you'd find in much more expensive TVs, but in this case, you get a 4K resolution TV with a 120Hz refresh rate and a stunning QLED display for under $1,200.

Intrigued? Well, so was I. The folks at Roku sent a review unit of its 65-inch Pro Series TV so I could check out its features for myself. In short: It's easy to use, and a steal for the price.

Roku Pro Series TV: Ideal for almost any living room After working with this TV hands-on, I found it to be easier to navigate and use than most. This makes it a viable TV option for people who are not tech-savvy, but who want easy access to live and on-demand programming. The 65-inch version of this smart TV fits nicely in an average size living room or bedroom.

Its picture and sound quality, and its overall performance, are better than what you'd expect from a TV in its price range. I was particularly impressed with how well the TV automatically adapts to its viewing environment and with the different types of programing that people tend to watch. And while it automatically makes settings adjustments in real time, users can also tweak the picture and sound on their own to achieve a more customized viewing experience.

2024 Roku.
