Originally born as a side project within Netflix, Roku was originally created as a way to offer Netflix streaming capabilities to TVs that didn't have it built-in. Starting with the launch of their first streaming stick in 2008, Roku quickly became well known for their streamlined, easy-to-use interface and wide selection of streaming apps. In 2014, TCL and Hisense launched new lines of TVs with the Roku Smart TV interface integrated, offering the same great streaming interface and channel selection without an external device. Roku released its own line of TVs in 2023, and a few other brands still offer TVs with the Roku interface built-in, but it's not nearly as popular as it used to be.
Below are our recommendations for the best Roku TVs we've tested, 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 new televisions coming out this year, check out our 2026 TV lineup page.
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 use 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 UsageHome TheaterBright RoomSportsGamingBrightnessBlack LevelColorMotion HandlingGame Mode ResponsivenessProcessing (In Development)Resolution:4kNative Refresh Rate:120HzScreen Finish:GlossyPanel Type:LCDSub-Type:VADolby Vision:YesSee all our test resultsSizes:55" 65" 75"The best Roku TV we've tested is the Roku Pro Series 2025. Overall, it's a good TV with great contrast, thanks to its local dimming feature, which delivers deep blacks in a dark room. HDR content is impactful in darker or moderately lit rooms, thanks to the TV's decent HDR brightness and wide color gamut, which make highlights and colors pop. The TV also has amazing SDR brightness, so it easily overcomes glare from overhead lights. However, it struggles to reduce reflections from direct light sources, so you won't want to place the TV screen in front of any windows or lamps.
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, so you can take advantage of your PS5, Switch 2, and Xbox's capabilities. Additionally, the TV's low input lag ensures a responsive gaming experience. It 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 UsageHome TheaterBright RoomSportsGamingBrightnessBlack LevelColorProcessing (In Development)Game Mode ResponsivenessMotion Handling (Broken)Resolution:4kNative Refresh Rate:60HzScreen Finish:GlossyPanel Type:LCDSub-Type:VADolby Vision:NoSee all our test resultsSizes:24" 32" 40" 43" 50" 55" 65" 75"Go with the Roku Select Series 2023 if you want something much cheaper than the Roku Pro Series 2025. It isn't nearly as good as the higher-end model in a dark room due to its lack of local dimming, so blacks aren't deep at all and look grayish. However, it has okay peak brightness, and its reflection handling is decent enough to use the TV in a moderately lit room. 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, both of which are nice features at this price point. This TV's 43-inch and larger sizes are 4k, while the 40-inch and smaller sizes have a 720p or 1080p resolution, so choose accordingly. If you're struggling to find the 2023 model we tested, consider the Roku Select Series 2025, which is a slightly updated model that should perform very similarly.

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'd like to do the work of choosing yourself, here's 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.
