5 Of The Best Roku TVs To Consider

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.

After years of researching, writing about, and using electronics, I've done my fair share of Roku TV shopping. Although I generally have a budget in mind, I also won't deny my family the indulgence of an 85-inch TV that takes up most of one living room wall. That unique set of circumstances led me to comparison shop for Roku TVs.

Roku TVs are not without their problems, but after owning at least four of them in the past 10 years, I wouldn't buy anything else. The best Roku TVs include the highest and most-rated models across various sizes, features, and price points.

Interestingly, some of the best-selling Roku TVs are affordable LED options despite OLED offering a crisper picture. This list doesn't discriminate but focuses on the best, according to customers, Roku TVs on Amazon and at Walmart. Some Roku-equipped TV brands are not included because of a mix of low reviews and lack of availability (what TV manufacturer only makes two sizes of TVs?!). Stay tuned after the list for more on the methodology behind these picks.

The Westinghouse 24-inch LED HD model could be the perfect pick if you're looking for an inexpensive TV for a small space. Along with brands like TCL, Onn., and Hisense, Westinghouse is one of the most budget-friendly TV brands, and the 24-inch model is only about $99.99 on Amazon.

At this size and price point, you do lose a bit of performance, with the pixels dropping to 720p, but on a smaller screen, that likely won't be much of an issue. Westinghouse Roku TVs are compatible with voice assistants, just like other Roku models, and fit in places where most bigger TVs won't. In fact, one highlight from Amazon consumer reviews (the 24-inch TV has over 1,800 ratings) is that a 24-inch class is perfect for RVs and campers.

Westinghouse also manufactures different Roku TVs in different sizes, but its range is narrower than that of my favorite brand (TCL) and Roku's range. Thus, Westinghouse is a bit lower on the list, but it still has TV sizes between 24 and 65 inches, with its smallest TVs starting at around $90 at various retailers.

Even the biggest size, however, is still affordable; 65-inch Westinghouse models are available online for a little over $300. TV size and price is dependent on features, of course, and the 24-inch model has the lowest visual specs, so it might not be perfect for you if you're used to 4K.

Another great Roku TV pick for a bedroom-size TV is Walmart's highest-rated Westinghouse model. The Westinghouse 32-Inch HD Roku TV packs some powerful features into a smaller package and with a price tag of only $129.99.

A major highlight of this Westinghouse model is that the TV has a 240Hz refresh rate, which is practically unheard of at this price point. Again, 60Hz is the standard, so at 240Hz, you're likely to notice the picture being much smoother. The resolution is only slightly higher than the standard 1080p (at 1366), but all together, in a 32-inch class package, it's not bad.

With over 14,000 ratings, it seems most Walmart shoppers agree that Westinghouse is a good buy, with most reviews mentioning how great the picture is and how easy the TV is to assemble and get running. After that, price was the next highlight, followed by features and quality. Overall, Westinghouse offers plenty of affordable Roku TVs to choose from, and I'd highly recommend a 32-inch if you're the type of person who looks at refresh ratse and wants the absolute highest possible.

Casual viewers can't really go wrong either because, as you'll see in the last few recommendations, this is the best-rated, most widely rated, and highest-spec 32-inch TV on our list. To be fair, there are more frequently reviewed models with great features, and Westinghouse does attract some less-than-stellar reviews, but on the whole, I would feel good buying one.

Hisense TVs have just as broad a range of size offerings as TCL, but the price point stretches a bit higher, meaning Hisense isn't in my tippy-top recommendations. However, I don't think buying a Hisense TV is a bad move, especially after looking at consumer feedback on the 40-inch TV.

The most widely rated and highest-reviewed Hisense TV on Amazon is the Hisense 40-Inch LED Roku TV. The 40-inch class TV has all the standard specs you want — 60Hz refresh rate, 1080p, voice remote control — and it's compatible with Alexa. However, Hisense doesn't state that it's compatible with other voice assistants, and there are some low lights based on the over 8,900 Amazon reviews.

A handful of negative reviews suggest this TV has a fair bit of lag, but most complaints center on lag time when using the remote rather than the picture or sound lagging. It's possible that could be a remote issue, but it's still worth mentioning, as the rest of the reviews are overwhelmingly positive.

For the money, a 40-inch Hisense TV isn't a bad buy, and despite some complaints and a higher price ceiling for bigger TVs, this model did get more ratings (and more consistently positive ones) than the last Roku TV recommendation.

If you have your heart set on a very large TV for your media room or living area, you might want to consider the largest and best-rated TV on our list. Walmart's highest-rated Hisense TV is the 58-Inch UHD LED Roku TV. With over 50,000 ratings, this model earns a 4.4 and receives the most kudos for picture quality and price. Overall quality is also a sticking point, with sound coming in hot, too.

Hisense doesn't go overboard with the refresh rate on its 58-inch TV, so it's the standard 60Hz, but the resolution is 4K UHD, 2160p. That might be why so many consumers are thrilled with the picture, especially because the model is currently $238.

Hisense also boasts that the TV has Dolby Vision HDR, which enhances contrast, plus it upscales the picture, so, in theory, the shows and movies you love will look even better than they did on your last TV.

There are some finer details to consider, too, like the fact that Hisense says it has a variable refresh rate under its gaming setting. The idea is that you'll achieve a smoother gaming experience thanks to those variable settings, which include an auto-low latency mode.

Finally, the sound might enhance the viewing experience more than other models we've looked at; DTS Studio Sound is also onboard and promises a "crisp and immersive" audio experience.

Onn. TVs are a Walmart exclusive, which might involve a negative connotation. After all, Walmart is probably best known for its budget buys, but in this case, that's not a bad thing.

The best-reviewed model from Walmart is the Onn. 32-Inch LED Roku TV, and at under $100, even consumers on a budget can enjoy their favorite media. Like other smaller TV classes, this 32-inch model is only 720p, but again, at that size, resolution won't be a make-or-break feature.

At Walmart, the 32-inch class Onn. TV has over 80,000 ratings, and price is the number-one mentioned perk. After that, consumers praise the picture quality, then ease of installation and overall quality. Sound gets a follow-up mention, and plenty of consumers also liked that they could order their TV online and pick it up the same day or just drop by Walmart and shop in-store. With all of those positives, you might wonder why Onn. TVs are so far down on our list.

The primary reason is that the reviews are limited to only Walmart because that's the only retailer that stocks them. Thus, we're not getting a great sample of reviews from a diverse audience.

Our methodology began with sourcing only those TVs Roku lists as being actual Roku-endorsed ones on its website. That limits the brands we included, plus we selected only those with more than a handful of models available.

Low-rated brands are not included, which means JVC, Proscan, Sharp, and Philips Roku TVs didn't make the cut because, overall, they either lacked the volume of reviews or a high enough rating to rank. Thus, we have only chosen models highly (and widely) rated on Amazon and Walmart.
