Roku’s ecosystem now covers everything from compact bedroom screens to living‑room panels, and we narrowed the field to seven models that span the full price spectrum. The cheapest option we found is the Hisense A4 Roku at $109.99, while the top of the range sits at $289.99 with the Westinghouse 50‑inch. That means you can step into Roku smart‑TV territory without breaking the bank or splurging.
All seven share a 60 Hz refresh rate, but they differ in power and audio. The TCL S4 43‑inch pushes 20 W of speaker output and received a 4.5‑star rating from 1,746 reviewers, whereas the Westinghouse 24‑inch has the highest rating at 4.6 stars from 1,704 users. The budget trio—Hisense 32‑inch, Westinghouse 24‑inch, and JVC 32‑inch—sit under $140 each, the mid‑range Philips 40‑inch lands at $236.99, and the premium tier includes the Roku Select 55‑inch at $268 and the TCL S4 43‑inch at $285.
We’ve broken the lineup into budget, mid‑range and premium categories so you can quickly spot the class that fits your space and wallet. In the sections that follow, we’ll explore picture quality, sound performance and connectivity to help you decide which Roku TV earns a place in your home.

Spec Comparison
TL;DR: The TCL S4 43‑inch offers 4K UHD with Dolby Vision, 20 W Dolby Atmos audio and a Roku/Google/Fire TV interface, making it a solid mid‑size smart TV for small‑room streaming and casual gaming.
The standout spec is the 43‑inch 4K LED panel delivering 3840 × 2160 resolution with HDR10, Dolby Vision, HLG and HDR PRO, paired with Dynamic Contrast and a 178° viewing angle. Audio is handled by two speakers totalling 20 W and supporting Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X. Connectivity includes four HDMI ports—one with eARC—dual‑band Wi‑Fi, a headphone jack and smart‑home compatibility with Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit.
Compared with the six other TVs in this roundup, the S4 sits between the larger, heavier models and the compact budget options. Its 6210 g weight makes it lighter than the 20.68‑pound Westinghouse 50‑inch and the 22.0‑pound Roku Select 55‑inch, but heavier than the 7.7‑pound JVC 32‑inch and the 5.29‑lb Westinghouse 24‑inch. At 3.1 inches deep, it is shallower than the 10.5‑inch depth of the Roku Select when the stand is attached, while its 37.7‑inch width is wider than the 31.5‑inch Hisense A4 but narrower than the 43.7‑inch width of the Roku Select.
Professional reviewers praise the TV’s Dolby Vision and HDR10 support for vivid colour and the built‑in Dolby Atmos for a more immersive soundstage without a soundbar. Reviewers highlight the Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) as a handy feature for casual gamers. Users echo the easy setup of the Roku and Google TV platforms, but note the 60 Hz panel can feel modest during fast‑action sports or high‑frame‑rate gaming, and the HDR peak brightness may look dim in very bright rooms. The remote’s lightweight feel also draws criticism because it seems cheap.
The S4 runs on a 2‑core processor and uses MEMC frame insertion for its Motion Rate 240, which helps smooth motion despite the 60 Hz refresh. Its Dynamic Contrast technology and 20 W speaker system round out a well‑balanced package for bedrooms, kitchens or secondary living‑room setups.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Small‑room streaming, casual gaming and anyone who wants flexible Roku, Google or Fire TV access with decent built‑in sound.
Avoid if: You need a high‑refresh‑rate panel for fast‑action sports or a very bright HDR performance in a sun‑lit primary living‑room.
TL;DR: The Roku Select 55‑inch delivers 4K HDR10+ picture, Roku’s easy‑to‑use platform, and Bluetooth headphone support for $268, but its basic LED panel lacks local dimming and high‑refresh gaming features.
The 55‑inch 4K (2160p) screen paired with HDR10+ and Smart Picture automatically optimizes each scene. Weighing 22.0 pounds and measuring 48.3 inches wide, it offers a sizable viewing area without overwhelming a typical living‑room space. The panel runs at a 60 Hz refresh rate and includes three HDMI ports (one eARC), plus a USB‑C connection for added flexibility.
Compared with the other six models in this roundup, the Roku Select is the largest screen and the heaviest of the entry‑level lineup, out‑sizing the 43‑inch TCL, the 40‑inch Philips, and the compact 24‑inch Westinghouse options. It also provides more HDMI ports than the JVC and Hisense units, which list fewer connectivity options. While the weight of 22.0 pounds is heavier than the sub‑10‑pound competitors, it remains comparable to the 20.68‑pound Westinghouse 50‑inch model.
User sentiment consistently praises the crisp 4K image, the straightforward Roku OS setup, and the convenience of Bluetooth headphone pairing for private listening. Professional reviewers note that HDR10+ delivers vibrant colors and that features like Auto Speech Clarity and Gaming Mode are useful. However, they also point out that the Direct‑Lit LED panel lacks local dimming, resulting in less deep blacks, and that the TV’s brightness can feel modest in very bright rooms. The absence of HDMI 2.1 and a 120 Hz refresh rate means it isn’t a top choice for competitive gamers seeking the latest high‑frame‑rate performance.
Beyond picture quality, the set includes 2.1‑channel Dolby Audio for an immersive soundstage, and the voice‑enhanced remote can locate itself with the Lost Remote Finder feature. Connectivity covers Ethernet, Wi‑Fi 5, and Bluetooth headphone support, making it easy to stream from wired or wireless sources alike.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Streaming enthusiasts who want a large 55‑inch 4K screen with Roku’s intuitive interface and built‑in audio enhancements.
Avoid if: You need high‑end gaming performance, deep‑black home‑theater contrast, or a TV for extremely bright rooms.
“excellent picture quality”
“brilliant 4K picture”
TL;DR: The Hisense 32‑inch A4 Roku TV delivers Full HD picture on a Direct‑Lit Full Array panel, offers Roku’s 4,000+ apps, and keeps the price under $110, making it a solid budget pick.
The A4’s 31.5‑inch LED LCD screen shows a crisp 1920 × 1080 image, and the Direct‑Lit Full Array backlight helps keep brightness even across the panel. At 60 Hz refresh you’ll get smooth motion for most movies and TV shows, while the built‑in Dolby Audio system pushes 12 watts through two channels for clear dialogue. Weighing 8.2 lbs and measuring 28.6 inches wide, the TV sits comfortably on a desk or a low‑profile stand that’s only 6.3 inches deep.
Compared with the other six Roku‑enabled sets, the Hisense weighs more than the Westinghouse 24‑inch (5.29 lbs) but less than the Philips 40‑inch (12.8 lbs) and far less than the 55‑inch Roku Select (22.0 lbs). Its depth with stand matches the Westinghouse 24‑inch (6.3 in) while its height of 18.6 inches exceeds that model’s 14.5 inches but stays well below the 30.4‑inch height of the larger Roku Select. Like the JVC 32‑inch and Westinghouse 24‑inch, it provides three HDMI inputs, giving plenty of room for consoles and streaming sticks without the premium price tag of the 43‑inch TCL or 50‑inch Westinghouse models.
Professional reviewers note the Full Array LED delivers a “sharp, colorful” picture and praise the straightforward Roku interface for quick access to over 4,000 streaming channels. Users echo the ease of use, but many mention the 60 Hz panel feels limited during fast‑motion sports or high‑frame‑rate gaming, and the 12‑watt speakers can feel modest in louder rooms. On the energy side, the TV draws about 66 kWh per year, translating to roughly $11 in annual operating costs, which is reasonable for a unit of this size.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a reliable entry-level option
Avoid if: You have limited desk space or need portability
TL;DR: The Westinghouse 24‑inch Roku TV delivers a compact 720p HD display, Dolby Audio, and Roku’s streaming platform at $116.99, making it a lightweight, budget‑friendly option for small spaces.
The TV packs a 24‑inch LED panel with a 1280 × 720 resolution, 200 cd/m² brightness and a 2000:1 contrast ratio. The backlight lasts 30,000 hours, and the panel responds in 8.5 ms. Audio comes from two 8 W Dolby Audio speakers with MS12 processing, while dual‑band MIMO Wi‑Fi (2.4/5 GHz) keeps the Roku OS connected. You’ll find up to three HDMI 1.4 ports, plus component, composite, USB and optical inputs.
At 24 inches, this model is noticeably smaller than the Hisense A4 (31.5 in), JVC (32 in), Philips (40 in), TCL (43 in), Roku Select (55 in) and Westinghouse’s own 50‑in sibling. It also weighs just 5.29 lbs, making it lighter than the Hisense (8.2 lbs), JVC (7.7 lbs), Philips (12.8 lbs) and Roku Select (22.0 lbs). Its 6.3‑in depth matches the Hisense with‑stand depth but is shallower than the Roku Select’s 10.5‑in depth. The 60 Hz refresh rate and 2 × 8 W speaker output align with the JVC and Philips units.
Reviewers consistently praise the out‑of‑the‑box Roku experience, noting the easy setup and access to over 350 streaming apps. Professional reviewers highlight the clear picture that the 720p progressive scan provides. However, users often mention the side‑leg stand’s limited placement options, the modest 8 W speakers’ volume, and the lack of 4K or HDR support. The TV also omits Bluetooth and Ethernet connectivity, which some buyers find restrictive.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a reliable entry-level option
Avoid if: You need advanced features or professional‑grade performance
TL;DR: The Philips 40‑inch Roku TV offers Full HD picture with a 5000:1 contrast ratio, Dolby Audio and a voice‑remote for $236.99, but its 1080p panel and 60 Hz refresh keep it in the budget‑mid tier.
The standout spec is the 40‑inch LED display paired with a 5000:1 contrast ratio and dynamic contrast processing, which professional reviewers say delivers vivid images despite the modest resolution. Audio comes from two 8 W RMS speakers with Dolby Audio, and the included voice remote works with Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit and AirPlay for hands‑free control.
At 12.8 pounds, the Philips unit is heavier than the JVC Roku 32‑inch (7.7 lb) and Hisense A4 32‑inch (8.2 lb) but lighter than the Roku Select 55‑inch (22 lb) and Westinghouse 50‑inch (20.68 lb). Its 40‑inch screen sits between the 32‑inch and 43‑inch models in the lineup, while the 60 Hz refresh rate matches the Roku Select, TCL S4 and Westinghouse peers. All three HDMI ports line up with the Roku Select and JVC Roku, giving you plenty of connectivity without sacrificing simplicity.
Consumers appreciate the easy‑to‑navigate Roku interface and find the TV works well as a secondary screen for bedrooms or kitchens. Expert reviewers highlight the clear Full HD picture and the convenience of built‑in voice assistants. Both users and pros note the lack of 4K resolution and the 9.5 ms response time, which can feel sluggish for fast‑motion sports or gaming. Power draw sits at a typical 73 W with standby under 0.5 W, and the unit supports 802.11n Wi‑Fi and an analog NTSC/UHF‑VHF tuner.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Budget‑conscious shoppers needing a secondary TV for bedrooms, kitchens, or RVs.
Avoid if: Primary‑room viewers seeking 4K Ultra HD, gamers or sports fans needing high refresh rates, or anyone prioritizing top user ratings.
TL;DR: The JVC 32‑inch Roku TV delivers a lightweight, 720p streaming experience with three HDMI ports and a 30,000‑hour backlight for under $140.
The standout spec is its 30,000‑hour LED backlight life, promising years of steady illumination without dimming. Coupled with a 5,000:1 contrast ratio, the picture maintains depth thanks to that contrast level. The set weighs just 7.7 lbs, making it easy to mount on a wall or move between rooms.
Compared with the other six TVs in this roundup, the JVC sits in the middle of the size spectrum: larger than the Westinghouse 24‑inch (which weighs 5.29 lbs) but a shade smaller than the Philips 40‑inch (which tips the scales at 12.8 lbs). Its 32‑inch screen nearly matches the Hisense A4’s 31.5‑inch panel, and the JVC weighs a touch less at 7.7 lbs versus the Hisense’s 8.2 lbs. All models share a 60 Hz refresh rate, so motion handling is comparable across the board.
Professional reviewers note the lack of HDR and 4K support as a clear limitation for a TV released in 2024, and user comments echo that the 1366 × 768 resolution can look soft on detailed content. On the upside, the Roku OS interface earns praise for its simplicity, and the built‑in Wi‑Fi plus three HDMI inputs provide convenient connections for game consoles, streaming sticks, or a Blu‑ray player. The speaker system delivers 8 W × 2, which reviewers find adequate for casual viewing but not a substitute for a dedicated soundbar.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Entry‑level buyers or those on a tight budget
Avoid if: You want the best value‑per‑dollar in its price range
TL;DR: The Westinghouse 50‑inch Roku TV delivers 4K UHD with HDR10, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, but its 60 Hz panel and premium price make it a solid choice for quality‑focused streamers willing to spend a bit more.
The standout feature is its 50‑inch 4K UHD panel (3840 × 2160) paired with HDR10, Dolby Vision and a 1200:1 contrast ratio, showing 1.07 billion display colors. Dolby Atmos support adds an immersive audio layer, while the built‑in Roku platform with voice assistant gives instant access to thousands of streaming apps.
At 20.68 pounds, it’s lighter than the Roku Select 55‑inch (22.0 pounds) but heavier than the JVC Roku Smart TV (7.7 pounds) and Philips Roku Smart TV (12.8 pounds). Its 50‑inch screen sits between the smaller TCL S4 43‑inch and the larger Roku Select 55‑inch, offering a middle ground for living‑room setups. All seven models share a 60 Hz refresh rate, so motion handling compares across the board.
Users consistently praise the sharp 4K picture and the responsive Roku interface, noting the voice remote simplifies navigation. Professional reviewers highlight the combination of Dolby Vision and HDR10 for superior contrast and color depth, and the Dolby Atmos audio for a cinema‑like experience. The 60 Hz panel, however, may feel less fluid during fast‑action gaming, and the Energy Star certification helps keep operating costs down.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Those prioritizing quality and willing to pay for premium performance
Avoid if: You're on a tight budget or only need basic functionality
