Roku is launching its own HDTVs that rely entirely on the company’s streaming technology. The ‘Roku Select’ and ‘Roku Plus Series’ TVs will have 11 models available, with screen sizes ranging from 24 to 75 inches. Roku’s TV models will provide features like Find My Remote, Private Listening, and the Roku Channel. Additionally, a brand-new Roku ‘TV Wireless Soundbar,’ expected to be introduced sometime this year, will broaden the audio possibilities available with Roku-branded TVs. With retail prices starting at $119 and reaching as high as $999, the TVs are anticipated to debut in the spring of 2023.
The ‘Roku Voice Remote’ with push-to-talk controls will come with the company's ‘Select Series’ TVs, while the ‘Plus Series’ TVs have a Roku Voice Remote Pro with hands-free voice commands.
