TVs with Roku

Can anyone tell me about the Roku operating system? Are there any reasons I shouldn’t buy 1? There are TCL TVs with Roku that are at a really good price and I’ve seen good reviews but I really have no idea. I’m going from an old Samsung DLP so I’m sure it’s 1000X better but with many good deals should I look for something without Roku? TIA

I’ve had an Isignia (Best Buy house brand) Roku TV in my son’s room for well over 2 years. Hasn’t given us any issues. Just turn the TV on and you’re on a Roku home screen. Pretty easy interface to use.

I haven't used one but one thing I really like that I've seen in reviews is it has an app for accessing OTA channels if the TV has a built in tuner. So instead of switching inputs on the TV to get the live locals over an antenna you just go to a different app. It's a feature I wish more TVs and streaming boxes had.

Bought a tcl at Costco for a bedroom tv. It’s been great.

Just bought a 49 inch TCL for our home office, set it up yesterday and the picture clarity is great. We are still learning all the features.

There a 50" 4K Sharp with Roku at Best Buy tonight for 180 that I'm thinking about having my wife stand in line for

Also, if you plug in a USB drive you can pause and rewind up to one hour of OTA.

I have a Sharp/Roku 32” that I got at Best Buy for about $239. About the only thing I use it for is to stream LSU baseball out on the patio. Works good for that, but it does get some lag, and difference between audio/video track, but I attribute that to the known shitty-ness of the WatchESPN app that I experience across various platforms.
When I’ve used it to watch Netflix, it worked perfectly.
The prices on them are great.

We have a couple of the TCL Roku TVs. Have had no problem with them. If you are looking for the cutting edge best picture possible, you won’t get it- these are not high end displays. But they are more ham adequate for most casual use. The Roku interface is great.
