Web ID: 24268835Can't use a universal remote due to no IR ability
I wanted to love this TV, I really did. But because it doesn't use IR technology you can't use a universal remote, forcing one to use 3-4 (or more?) remotes to control everything. In this day and age, when virtually ALL peripherals, and ALL remotes use IR, it is a sad step back to the "dark ages" when we were all forced to use several remotes to manage our entertainment center, I guess requiring one to invest in a container to hold all the remotes. Disgusting. And even worse, it is not even mentioned in the specifications so one can make an informed decision about whether to buy it or not.

Overall Very Impressed
I am very pleased with the Roku Pro Series (2025) 55" TV. I watch a lot of soccer and the 120hrz refresh rate does an excellent job of eliminating motion blur. The over all picture quality and colors were excellent after a few person adjustments. What surprised the most was the sound quality of the TV's speakers. I was using a sound bar and sub-woofer with the TV that I replaced, but I am not using it with the Pro Series. There is no need to use it, because the TV's speakers are that good. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone without hesitation. Yes, this TV is a little more money than other 55" TVs, but buy once cry once and you won't be disappointed.

Great TV for the price.
After my second high end Sony TV died in less than a few years, I decided to go another direction. This TV is perfectly adequate for us. I like the design and the playful user interface.

6-Month Review
I bought this Roku TV six months ago and it's the best TV I've had (LG, Sony, Philips). This Roku TV is superior. It has a bright, clear display, it reacts fast to button inputs, and runs all streaming apps like Roku streaming devices do. Because It's a Roku device, the apps I install synchronize across all of my Roku Streaming Sticks. The included Roku Voice Remote Pro is fantastic. By voice I control TV power, start apps, display battery charge, find the remote, and the buttons illuminate. I bought another Roku Voice Remote Pro to pair with a Roku Streaming Stick on another TV. My next TV will be a Roku.

Awesome picture and sound
Great TV, picture quality is surprisingly good for a tv in this price range but the sound also surprised me, eliminated the need for a sound bar for my bedroom setup.
