Roku is well known for its contributions to the best streaming devices, but the company is now also deep into making TVs. Roku’s current flagship is the Roku Pro Series, and the 55-inch Pro Series model is now selling for $598 at Amazon. That price, a 34% discount, is one the 55-inch model dropped to on Black Friday, and it has remained stubbornly stuck there ever since.

Today’s best Roku Pro Series deal

The Roku Pro Series is our pick for best budget TV in our best TVs guide. In our review, we were impressed not just by its picture quality, but also its clear and well-defined sound – something made possible by a deeper-than-normal “shadowbox” frame with front-firing speakers. Although it uses a mini-LED backlight, the Pro Series doesn’t hit the same brightness heights as its mini-LED competition, but overall picture quality is impressive for the price.

With a 120Hz refresh rate, the Pro Series is also a solid budget TV for gaming. Both VRR and ALLM (including FreeSync) are supported, and we measured input lag at 9.4ms in our testing, an ultra-low level that ranks the Pro Series among the best gaming TVs.

Of course, a big part of a Roku TV’s appeal is the Roku smart TV interface, which is among the cleanest and most intuitive you’ll find. Roku now makes all sorts of Roku devices, everything from wireless subwoofers to smart lights and doorbells, and these can all be controlled directly from the TV’s smart interface.
