This Roku TV is a hit with buyers, who praise its sharp, bright picture and surprisingly good built-in sound that even made one user ditch their soundbar. Setup is a breeze for existing Roku households, and the voice-controlled sleep timer and standby backdrops are appreciated extras. The price is seen as a great value, with several users already planning to buy another.
