“I watch alot of Nexflix and Hulu. Do I want a TV that advertises "Roku" per se? or does the word "Smart" cover all that? If advertisement does not say "Roku", will I have to buy a separate component for that? ($40 more)”

This TV can connect to Netflix and Hulu. Different smart tvs have different interfaces and different apps they can access and connect to. Roku tv I'm at not familiar with but given a quick search it may have more options than the Samsung smart tv. But both should be able to do Hulu and Netflix. If there are other specific apps you're interested in you may want to check to see which can access what. Generally all smart tvs will connect to Netflix, Hulu, hbo now/go etc. Roku incorporated into the tv is just branding that smart tv interface as a roku version.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Smart Hub can stream, netflix, hulu, amazon prime and others. Since getting this tv I no longer use the Roku. Having saifd that there are certain apps that are unique to the roku which will are not apps on the Samsung App menu. For example, Beachbody on Demand is not available as a smart hub app, where it is a roku app.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Most Smart TVs will get Netflix and Hulu without a Roku. This one has them pre-loaded - you don't have to search or download or anything. You can usually find out what apps a specific TV can get from the manufacturer's web site or from the BestBuy listing. Samsung's list as of 2012 is at http://www.samsung.com/us/appstore/browse. By the way, I am very happy with this TV.
