Samsung U8000H Crystal UHD 4K TV (55") vs Roku Select Series 55" TV
The Samsung U8000H is the better pick for most people: brighter, more colorful picture, HDR10+ and a full Tizen app platform with Samsung TV Plus. The Roku Select Series wins on simplicity — Roku OS is the easiest smart TV interface to learn, and it supports Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant voice. Build is plastic on both and neither is a gaming set at 60 Hz. Owners of the Samsung praise sharpness, upscaling and built-in sound but complain about menu navigation and subtitle-driven brightness shifts; Roku owners like the clean interface and neutral picture.
- Choose the Samsung U8000H if you want the stronger picture, HDR10+ and a big free-channel lineup, and you don't mind learning Tizen's menus.
- Choose the Roku Select Series if a dead-simple interface and Siri support matter more to you than peak brightness and color punch.
