Is the 85-inch Roku Select Series good for gaming?

It is fine for casual console play at 4K 60Hz, but it lacks HDMI 2.1, variable refresh rate and low-latency game mode tuning found on pricier TVs. Serious gamers should look at 120Hz sets.

Does it support Dolby Vision?

No. It supports HDR10 and HDR10+, not Dolby Vision, so Dolby Vision content plays in standard HDR.

Can I mount it on a wall?

Yes. It uses a 400mm x 300mm VESA pattern, and the stand is included if you prefer a tabletop setup.

How many HDMI ports does it have?

Three HDMI inputs, plus Wi-Fi, Ethernet and Bluetooth for connecting soundbars and other devices.

Do I need a Roku account to use it?

Yes. The TV runs Roku OS, so you set up a free Roku account to install apps and use voice features.

Is the built-in sound good enough?

It is adequate for news and casual viewing, but the 2.1 stereo system is thin for movies, so a soundbar is a common add-on.

Our take on the Roku Class Select Series LED 4K Smart Roku TV 85-inch

The Roku Select Series 85-inch is Roku's own big-screen 4K LED TV, built around the Roku streaming platform with the Roku Voice remote. It uses a direct-lit panel with HDR10+ support and a 60Hz refresh rate, so it handles movies, streaming and casual sports well but not high-frame-rate gaming. Its main draw is the built-in Roku OS with thousands of apps and hands-free voice via Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri, which rivals like TCL and Hisense match on apps but rarely on interface simplicity. It suits buyers who want a huge screen for a bright living room and value an easy, ad-supported smart system over premium picture processing.

What reviewers say

Owners of Roku's Select Series TVs generally praise the easy Roku interface and the value of a very large 4K screen, while criticising black levels, off-angle viewing and built-in sound. Most treat it as a streaming workhorse rather than a home-theater centerpiece.

What people mention

Picture qualityMixedOwners like the bright 4K image for streaming but note washed-out blacks and visible backlight bleed in dark scenes.
Roku interfacePraisedReviewers call the Roku home screen fast and simple, with apps easy to find and voice search reliable.
SoundCriticisedThe built-in 2.1 speakers are described as thin, with many owners adding a soundbar.
MotionCriticisedThe 60Hz panel shows blur in fast sports and games, and there is no variable refresh rate.
SetupPraisedBuyers report quick assembly of the stand and a guided setup that signs into streaming accounts easily.
Viewing anglesCriticisedColors and contrast fade when watching from the side, which matters in wide rooms.
