I'm Clearly Out of Touch - Roku Plus Series TV Review

[Plouffe]

If you already have a Roku account, should you skip the middle man and buy a Roku TV? The Plus Series QLEDs might have just found the right price bracket if you're looking for an upgrade.

Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to Linus Media Group.

Roku OLED would be such a huge irony to this gag. I agreed with Linus, Roku should send it against Tizen and TvOS.

knowing that tv OS's are going to get worse than they already are with bloated ads or spyware.

It's great to have some cheaper and less "big brand money maker for the investors lol" on the market. But as shown with mira cast (RIP) or chromcast devices in the other LTT video, filled with malware? Also how come so many TV's have such horrible system to them and tech specs. Be it the HDMI 2.1 but not quite 2.1. G-sync, HDR options, and a bunch of other stuff.

 

although the account needed sort of sucks, more so if it's not clearly said in the page that you NEED to do so. but could be fine for logging onto other tvs? maybe and to some of the performance issues if they exists on higher end models too?

Linus constantly featuring Best Buy's site in these videos should have him try the store's brand tvs, considering they are really cheap, strictly 1080p, no built in operating systems, and are allegedly previous gen's LG panels.

Are these Roku TVs not sold in Canada?

Does anyone know where they get their sample footage? Like that scene of a Japanese level crossing?

[silentdragon95]

I assume Roku is mainly popular in North America? Because I rarely ever hear about them and I have never actually seen anyone use one. They are being sold here, however no Roku TVs as of yet. They do look promising however.

 

Then again, maybe I'm also just out of touch because I still use either an Xbox One S or a HTPC for media playback on my TV (both physical and streaming). The TV does run Android but the SOC is crap and so it's slow as hell and some apps (like Twitch) barely even work, so I just never even touch that.

Sun-lit rooms can easily be solved with curtains or blinds...

Is the 'Roku TV' brand exclusive to Best Buy? 

[YellowJersey]

Wait, supporting all HDR standards is illegal in Korea?
