Our take on the 55-Inch 4K Ultra HD Roku Smart LED TV (2017 Model)
This is a 55-inch 4K Ultra HD LED television running the Roku smart TV platform built in. It is the 2017 model, so it targets shoppers who want a big 4K screen with Roku's app library and simple interface without paying for a premium brand. Against rivals it leans on Roku's streaming selection and a straightforward remote, but it lacks the local dimming, wide color and high brightness of pricier sets, and its HDR support is basic. It suits budget-minded buyers and secondary rooms more than videophiles.

Questions and answers
- Is this TV good for gaming?
- It works for casual console play, but input lag and motion handling are average for its era. Serious gamers should look at sets with a game mode and lower lag.
- Does it support HDR?
- It accepts HDR signals, but the panel's limited brightness and color mean the effect is subtle. Do not expect the HDR impact of midrange or premium sets.
- What is in the box?
- The TV, a Roku remote, batteries and a stand are typical. Check the listing for the exact accessories included.
- How does it compare with newer Roku TVs?
- Newer models add better HDR, improved processing and often voice remotes. This 2017 set is a basic 4K option by comparison.
- Do I need a soundbar?
- Most owners find the built-in speakers thin. A budget soundbar noticeably improves dialogue and music.
- Is it good for a bright room?
- It handles moderate light, but its limited brightness struggles against strong glare. It performs best in dimmer rooms.
