Our Verdict

Samsung TU690T

Roku Select Series

The Roku Select Series is better than the Samsung TU690T. It gets much brighter in HDR and SDR, with a much better color volume, so all content pops more on the Roku than on the Samsung. The Roku is also the more accurate TV of the two. The Samsung does remove 24p judder from more sources and supports a 1440p resolution, but overall, it's outmatched by the Roku TV.
