VIZIO VQM55C-10 55" Mini LED QLED TV vs Roku Select Series 4K TV

The VIZIO VQM55C-10 is the stronger TV. Its Mini LED backlight and full Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support give it deeper contrast and brighter highlights than the Roku Select Series, which is direct-lit LED with HDR10+ only. The VIZIO also adds four HDMI 2.1 ports and a five-year warranty. The Roku wins on simplicity: the Roku OS is easy to learn and the set is lighter and easier to wall-mount. Buy the VIZIO for picture quality; buy the Roku for a simple, low-fuss streaming TV.

  • Choose the VIZIO VQM55C-10 if picture quality matters most and you want Mini LED contrast, Dolby Vision and a long warranty.
  • Choose the Roku Select Series if you want the simplest smart TV interface and a light set that is easy to mount.

  • 4.4 / 51,271 ratings

Rated 4.4 out of 5 from 1,271 ratings, buyers generally praise the picture brightness and value. Complaints tend to center on the 60Hz panel and the built-in speakers.

Questions and answers

Which has the better picture?
The VIZIO. Mini LED local dimming and Dolby Vision produce deeper blacks and brighter highlights. The Roku is direct-lit LED, so dark scenes look flatter.
Which is better for gaming?
Neither is a gaming set, since both run at 60Hz. The VIZIO is the better pick because its HDMI 2.1 ports handle more console features.
Which is easier to use?
The Roku. Roku OS is one of the simplest TV interfaces, and the remote and menus are easy to learn. SmartCast takes more getting used to.
Which lasts longer?
The VIZIO carries a five-year warranty against the Roku's standard one year. That is the clearest sign of how long each maker stands behind the set.
Is the VIZIO worth stepping up to?
Yes, if you watch movies and HDR shows in a dim room. The contrast and HDR support are a real step up. If you mainly stream casually, the Roku is enough.
Do both support voice assistants?
Yes. The VIZIO works with Alexa, Google Home and Apple Home. The Roku works with Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri.
