About
The Pro Series is Roku's first genuinely premium TV: a Mini LED panel with local dimming, 120Hz, Dolby Vision and a wireless-ready design, wrapped in the simplest interface in television. Roku's platform is the reason to buy it, with no nested menus, fast app launches and consistent search across services. Picture quality lands a step behind the TCL and Hisense flagships, but the software gap runs the other way.
Pros
- +Simplest interface
- +Solid Mini LED picture
- +AirPlay support
Cons
- −Not a picture-quality leader
