Roku just announced its first OLED TVs from $999 — and they could be game changers for people who hate smart TVs

Roku, the creator of the user-friendly streaming platform, is introducing two new OLED TVs to the market this year. The entry-level model, the Roku Pro Series OLED, starts at $999 for a 55-inch screen and is currently available on Amazon. The more affordable option, priced at $999 for a 55-inch screen, is $200 less than LG's entry-level OLED and $200 more than Samsung's.

The Roku Pro Series OLED supports a native refresh rate of 120Hz, catering to the gaming needs of users with consoles like the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 Pro. It also features Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and AMD’s FreeSync Premium. The higher-end, $1,299 Pro Series LX OLED is set to release in October and offers a 144Hz refresh rate with VRR, as well as an advanced polarizer to minimize room reflections.

This marks Roku's entry into the OLED market, promising a user-friendly experience that stands out from competitors like LG, Samsung, and Sony.
