    The whole truth about this 55" Pro

    I'm VERY disappointed that the Best Buy rep who helped me place my order over the phone lied to me. He told me not to sign up for "assembly" (like putting up a bracket on the wall & such) but he said they would deliver & take the TV out of the box & lift it on to my TV stand. They did no such thing & the delivery guy was right in front of me yelling that no he has other deliveries to get to & left it on my floor. I do wish I bought it somewhere else, VERY disappointing. Now the good. After getting someone to help me, I got everything set up. I've used a Roku stick for years now & LOVE it. So this, was a sheer treat. I no longer need to use 2 different remotes to change settings on the TV itself. I absolutely love this TV. There are only 2 things I don't like. 1.) That I cannot program the shortcut buttons - I do not use apple TV nor Disney & they're stuck on there needlessly. 2.) To make THIS nice of a TV & not have it be a matte screen seems INSANE to me. But, I re-arranged the lighting inside & the angle of the TV so that's not a deal breaker. I had quite a checklist of what I did want & did NOT. This was the ONLY TV that had most everything I wanted. The sound is the best I've ever heard on a TV. Next year I may opt to add a surround sound though. The picture quality leaves me understanding that I've been ignorant my whole life, not knowing that my regular TV's that were just fine.... were NOT that fine. THIS is truly the best picture quality I've owned on a TV. I've been shopping for a good TV now for months. My friend has a Samsung, she described all the bloatware/ad's & how it drives her crazy and she hates the remote. I did NOT want to HAVE to sign in to google to use my TV either. Or Amazon. I LOVE how many free channels/apps & things to watch that are included on this platform. The remote is amazing, when I go to pick it up, as soon as I touch it, the backlight comes on & OMG you can plug it in to recharge it, no more batteries!! Amaaaazing eh? Yesss it is. The simplicity in everything you need to do is wonderful. I even plugged in a USB drive in the back, filled with files & can listen to & watch. This is hands down, the best TV I've ever owned & I pray it has a long life. What a great black Friday price at $599 too. To test the visuals & sound, I re-watched The Sound Of Music & what a wonderful experience. I'm SO glad I got this instead of a Sony, Samsung, LG or anything else. My only sour feeling on the purchase was how Best Buy lied to me.

    Perfect for the money

    Nothing is truly perfect, but for the money, I think this is about as close as you can get. We upgraded from an older TCL Roku TV. I had some reservations because that older one is so sluggish in the menus and apps tend to crash after a while on it. The picture on that one was okay and the sound was ... well it at least had sound. But I had some real hope when I found out that Roku is now making their own TVs. Then I saw that a new version was just about to come out. Looking at the previous gen reviews, the Pro line seemed really promising, so without any reviews available I ordered this one. It has totally met and exceeded my expectations. The picture is sharp and clear, with excellent colors and deep blacks. I've never had a TV that was this good. There might be others that are slightly better on some scale, but for a basic consumer like me and my wife, this is incredible. We did adjust some settings from the "auto" options that it comes with turned on for brightness, sound, and picture type. Luckily, that's all very easy to do using the * button on the remote. I recommend exploring the settings and finding what works best for you. The sound out of the TV is quite good, but the bass does struggle sometimes. But it is good enough that we haven't bothered to get a soundbar or anything else to address it yet. We were considering getting a sound bar for the old TV, but now I think we will just wait as we're so happy with the picture and sound from the TV at the moment. As for the UI, it's very fast and snappy. The smart remote with audio controls is great. I like the lightup buttons and we love being able to just yell out "hey roku find remote" to get the remote to start pinging its location. You just need to periodically charge it up with USB-C. The roku software is pretty good at being able to handle just asking it to search for something from the home screen and showing you the services where you can find what you wanted. Then another command and you can have it go right to that item in the app. It's all very snappy and we love the Roku UI. I also love the roku app on our iphones. That's another great way to control and works quite well vs the normal remote. And it also allows you to pair your earbuds with your phone and then just listen to the audio privately. We haven't done that much, but with me working from home it allows my wife to watch shows and not worry about disturbing me or my calls with what she is watching. All in all, I think this has been a really great value for the money. We get a better TV than I've ever had, with great software, and we're getting to save on the soundbar ... unless we end up deciding that we really want that extra step up. But for now, it's great. Highly recommended!

    Roku 55 Class Pro Series 4K QLED Mini-LED Smart TV

    Excellent TV for Gaming - Highly Recommended! I recently purchased the Roku 55" Class Pro Series 4K QLED Mini-LED Smart RokuTV (2025) and am incredibly impressed, especially with the gaming options! As someone who games frequently, the features on this TV have made a huge difference in my experience. My Experience with the Gaming Features Super Responsive Gameplay: The low input lag on this TV is fantastic. Games feel incredibly responsive, which is crucial for fast-paced action and competitive titles. The TV even switches to a low-latency mode automatically when a console is turned on, so there is no extra setup required. Smooth Visuals: The native 120Hz refresh rate is a game-changer. Motion is smooth, and with Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support, I haven't noticed any screen tearing, even in the most demanding games. Great Picture Quality for Games: The QLED and Mini-LED display provide vibrant colors and deep blacks, making HDR games look absolutely stunning and impactful. Everything from bright, colorful landscapes to dark shadow details is rendered beautifully. Next-Gen Ready: With two HDMI 2.1 ports that support 4K @ 120Hz, I know I'm getting the most out of my modern gaming consoles. Sound and Usability: The sound quality from the built-in speakers is surprisingly good, so a soundbar isn't immediately necessary, a great bonus. The Roku interface itself is also very fast and easy to navigate. if you're a gamer who loves the Roku platform, this TV is a tremendous value and a fantastic performer. Highly recommended!

    Roku Pro Series 55in

    Best TV I have ever owned, by far! Love it! Easy to use as is every Roku platform tv. Picture is phenomenal and it saves your picture settings per app. I hooked it up to my Yamaha SR-B20A soundbar and 8 in sub and the sound is instant and in sync. I can control everything thru the remote which is rechargeable and voice activated. The tv is also voice activated and can shut off by voice commands. I also used an Ethernet cat8 cable direct to my WiFi router and when you hit a button the tv instantly is commanded without lag. But the picture is worth a thousand words and some. I absolutely love my Roku pro tv and recommend everyone buy one. I also got the 5 year geek squad warranty so I know my money is well spent and the tv will last 5 years. It’s solid metal and heavy as hell and that is the quality Roku put into the build. Solid metal 12 in feet to hold the aluminum frame. I couldn’t have bought a better tv and I am blown away every time I sit down to watch it.

    Get yourself this R O K U T V

    The best affordable, quality TV I’ve ever owned. The picture definition is on another level, and the sound this TV produces has so much bass that it’s like being in a theater. I love it and will 100% recommend….
