Roku Select Series 4K TV vs Samsung Crystal UHD U8000H 55"
The Samsung U8000H is the better picture for the money: its 120Hz panel keeps sport and panning shots clean, and 4K AI Upscaling helps older HD content. The Roku Select Series runs at 60Hz, so fast motion smears more, but Roku's interface is simpler and its QLED panel holds color better off-axis. Buy the Samsung for a main room with sports and gaming; buy the Roku for a spare room where ease of use matters more than motion.
- Choose the Roku Select Series if you want the simplest smart interface and a QLED panel that keeps color steady from side seats.
- Choose the Samsung U8000H if you watch sport, game, or want smoother motion from a 120Hz panel.
