With this TV, you don't need a ROKU box to watch Netflix and some other apps. Having a ROKU box, there are a lot more choices with ROKU, but then I haven't fully researched the options that Samsung has on their Smart TV, other than Netflix.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would avoid this TV if you are planning on primarily using it for the Smart features. The Roku has a much better interface, is SIGNIFICANTLY faster and has a wider variety of channels available.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You don't need Roku with this TV. It comes with apps for netflix, hulu and many others I never use. Just plug in the power, set up the Wifi and you're all set.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.NO. Wifi connects and the apps work good.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Nope! The smart hub has an app for just about every streaming service that Roku does (Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime, etc.).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.redgirl, The Smart TV will have many of the Apps the Roku has. However, the Roku may offer other Apps that the Smart TV doesn't have. For the most available content and the "best of both worlds", having both may be a benefit. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S
