Roku Select Series 40" Full HD TV vs Samsung F6000 40-Inch Full HD Smart TV

Both are 40-inch 1080p smart TVs, so the choice comes down to the platform and the panel. The Roku Select Series wins on simplicity: the Roku home screen, the no-nonsense voice remote and Headphone Mode are easier for most people, and owners rate it highly for setup and brightness. The Samsung F6000 wins on picture processing and sound: HDR10+ with Micro Dimming Pro, Object Tracking Sound Lite and Tizen with Samsung TV Plus. Buy the Roku for a bedroom or kids' room TV that anyone can operate. Buy the Samsung if you want the better image and don't mind a slower, ad-filled menu.

  • Choose the Roku Select Series if you want the easiest TV to set up and use, with a simple remote and private headphone listening.
  • Choose the Samsung F6000 if picture processing, HDR10+ and stronger built-in sound matter more to you than menu speed.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a bedroom?
The Roku Select Series. It is lighter, sets up fast and the simple remote and headphone mode suit late-night viewing. The Samsung has the better picture but a slower menu.
Which has the better picture?
The Samsung F6000. HDR10+ with Micro Dimming Pro and Mega Contrast give it more depth than the Roku, whose picture owners describe as average.
Which is easier to use?
The Roku. Roku OS is plain and quick, and the voice remote has few buttons. Tizen offers more apps but owners report lag and ads.
Is the Samsung worth stepping up to?
Yes if you care about image quality and sound. The Roku is the better pick if you want the simplest, fastest interface.
Which lasts longer?
Neither has a clear reliability edge. Roku owners report shipping damage; Samsung owners report Wi-Fi and remote glitches over time.
Do both support voice assistants?
The Roku works with Alexa and Google Assistant and has a voice remote. The Samsung F6000 ships with a basic IR remote and no voice control.
