Roku Plus Series 55R6C7 54.6"
92 out of 100 low confidence 5 reviews
The Roku 55" Plus-Series TV receives overwhelmingly positive feedback for its excellent picture quality, vibrant colors, and surprisingly good sound from built-in speakers. Users praise the intuitive Roku OS interface and find it a great value, especially compared to the cheaper Select model. Minor complaints include a persistent USB power delay issue and the requirement to create a Roku account during setup, but overall it is highly recommended for streaming and even as a PC monitor.
