We typically don’t love smart TV interfaces, which is why we recommend streaming devices at all. But, Roku’s TV uses the interface we know and love, which makes it an easy, one-stop shop.
We’ve long been fans of the TCL TVs with Roku built in, but now the streaming brand is making its own TVs in-house, and we like the Plus Series. The quantum dot-enabled (QLED) panel and full array local dimming give it excellent colors and solid blacks. TLDR: You can easily find something to watch thanks to Roku’s simple interface, and it’ll look good too. It also works with HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant.
Serious gamers may prefer a TV with a higher refresher rate, but at 60 frames per second, the Plus Series is fine for most consoles. WIRED senior editor Parker Hall noted that this TV’s legs are particularly wide. Depending on where you’re putting it, you might need to mount it or try an aftermarket pedestal mount. There are new plus models coming for 2024, and we will update this guide as we test them.
★ Note About New Models: Our TV writers are currently testing Roku’s new Pro TV. One noticed some blooming, which means backlight bleeds through to a darker image, but overall they’re impressed. We’ll update this guide with more thoughts when we’re done.
