The Roku 55-inch Select Series is an entry-level 4K Smart TV with Roku OS, an enhanced voice remote, and Bluetooth headphone support.

The Insignia 40-inch NS40-FEFL26 is a budget-friendly Full HD Smart TV with Fire TV OS and Alexa voice control, offering solid picture for its size. It lacks 4K resolution, HDR, and has occasional remote pairing glitches, limiting its future-proofing. Best suited for small-room streaming and casual use.
