Which is better for a bedroom?

The Roku Select Series is the easier pick for a bedroom: it is $99.00 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, has a simple voice remote and Headphone Mode for private listening. The VIZIO adds better color and free WatchFree+ channels if you watch live TV.

Is the VIZIO worth $39 more than the Roku?

Only if you value QLED color and WatchFree+ free channels. Both are 40-inch 1080p 60 Hz sets, so the picture gap is smaller than the price gap suggests.

Which has better picture quality?

The VIZIO VFQ40M-10 has the edge on color, thanks to quantum dots and a full array backlight. The Roku is a direct-lit LED panel, so expect good brightness but less color range.

Which is better for gaming?

Neither is a gaming TV: both are 60 Hz at 1080p. The Roku has 3 HDMI ports versus 2 on the VIZIO, which helps if you keep a console and a streaming stick connected.

Do both support voice assistants?

Yes. Both list Google Assistant and Alexa support, and the Roku ships with its own voice remote.

Neither maker publishes a rated panel life for these models, so there is no clear winner. Buy on price and features rather than durability claims.
