Roku Plus Series 65" 4K QLED TV vs Samsung 65" M80H Mini LED 4K TV

Buy the Samsung M80H if you game or watch a lot of HDR content: its 144 Hz panel, VRR and local dimming are real advantages the Roku Plus Series lacks. Buy the Roku Plus Series if you want the simplest smart TV interface and four HDMI ports for a console, soundbar and streaming stick. Owners rate both highly, but the Samsung's mini-LED backlight and motion handling put it a step above for picture quality, while the Roku wins on ease of use and connectivity.

  • Choose the Roku Plus Series if you want the least complicated smart TV, four HDMI inputs and hands-free voice search without paying for gaming features you won't use.
  • Choose the Samsung M80H if you play games, want deeper blacks from local dimming and a 144 Hz panel, or plan to keep the TV for years.

What reviewers say

Roku Plus Series 65" 4K QLED TV

  • 4.6 / 5503 ratings

Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 503 ratings, the set is generally well liked for its picture quality at the price and for Roku's easy interface. Complaints tend to center on black levels and motion rather than on the software.

What people mention
  • Picture qualityPraisedOwners say colors are vivid and accurate for the money, especially with Dolby Vision content.
  • Black levelsCriticisedDark scenes look washed out because the panel has no local dimming.
  • MotionMixedThe 60 Hz refresh rate is fine for most shows but shows blur in sports and fast action.
  • Roku interfacePraisedReviewers call the home screen fast and simple, and like the hands-free voice remote.

Samsung 65" M80H Mini LED 4K TV

  • 4.7 / 5574 ratings

Rated 4.7 out of 5 from 574 ratings. Owners largely praise the picture brightness and contrast for the price, with some noting limited connectivity and average built-in sound.

What people mention
  • Picture qualityPraisedOwners say the Mini LED backlight delivers bright highlights and solid black levels for the price.
  • GamingPraisedThe 144Hz panel and VRR are called smooth for console and PC gaming.
  • PortsCriticisedBuyers complain that three HDMI inputs and a single USB-A fill up quickly with consoles and soundbars.
  • SoundMixed

Questions and answers

Which is better for gaming?
The Samsung M80H. Its 144 Hz panel and VRR keep fast games smooth, and local dimming helps dark scenes. The Roku Plus Series is capped at 60 Hz with no VRR.
Does the Roku have Dolby Vision and the Samsung not?
Yes. The Roku Plus Series supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and HLG. The Samsung M80H lists HDR10+ only, so Dolby Vision discs and streams fall back to standard HDR.
Which has better black levels in a dark room?
The Samsung. Its mini-LED backlight dims zones independently, while the Roku has no local dimming and blacks can look washed out in a dark room.
Is the Samsung worth stepping up to over the Roku?
If you game or care about contrast, yes. The Samsung adds local dimming, 144 Hz and VRR. If you mainly stream shows and want simple menus and four HDMI ports, the Roku is enough.
Which is easier to use?
The Roku. Roku OS keeps a single home screen of inputs and apps with a hands-free voice remote. Tizen on the Samsung offers more but takes more navigating.
Which lasts longer?
Both are built to similar TV lifespans, and neither maker publishes a rated hours figure. The Samsung is a newer 2026 model, so it should get software updates longer.

The 20W speakers are seen as adequate for news but thin for movies, so many add a soundbar.
