Westinghouse Roku TV WR43UX4210-SL 42.5"
This Roku TV offers good picture quality and value for the price, with many users praising its ease of use and channel selection. However, several verified buyers were frustrated by misleading product images regarding RCA/AV inputs, which require an adapter not shown. The remote's button placement and lack of Bluetooth or analog audio out are also common complaints. A major concern is the Roku OS forcing online registration before local device access, which one user called anti-consumer.
Pros
- Good picture quality
- Great value for the price
- Easy to set up and use
- Lightweight and slim frame
- Good channel selection with scrolling feature
Cons
- Misleading product images for RCA/AV inputs
- Requires adapter for RCA/AV connections

- No analog audio out (RCA jacks)
