The verdict
A sensible low-cost streaming TV for shoppers who want Dolby Vision and local dimming without paying for the 120Hz Pro Series. The main limits are the 60Hz panel and, based on tests of the 2023 original, modest peak brightness. Because current-generation lab data is missing, treat brightness expectations cautiously and check recent reviews before buying.
The Roku Plus Series is the middle tier of Roku's own TV range, sold in 55, 65 and 75-inch sizes. Roku's support page describes a QLED 4K TV with full-array local dimming and says the 2026 models use a Mini-LED backlight. It supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+, runs Roku's simple smart platform and has a 60Hz panel. No independent lab review of the current generation was found; the published tests cover the first 2023 generation.
Strengths
- Dolby Vision and HDR10+ support
- Local dimming backlight, Mini-LED on 2026 models per Roku
- Simple Roku interface
- Four HDMI inputs, with eARC
- Tom's Guide recommended the Plus line over the Select Series
Weak spots
- 60Hz native refresh, so no 120Hz gaming
- No independent lab data was found for the current generation
- The original Plus tested only modestly bright in independent reviews
Great for
- Streaming-first households wanting Dolby Vision on a budget
- Secondary rooms
Skip if
- Gamers who need 4K 120Hz
- Very bright rooms, until current-generation brightness tests appear

Picture
- Display technologyHow the screen makes its picture. OLED types light each pixel on their own for perfect black. Mini LED and QLED are LCDs with a backlight, and tend to get brighter.
- Mini LED
- Panel notes
- Roku's support page calls the Plus Series QLED with full-array local dimming, and Mini-LED on 2026 models. Tom's Guide describes 2025 Plus models as Mini-LED too, so the generation that introduced Mini-LED is not consistent across sources.
- BacklightFull-array backlights sit behind the whole screen and allow local dimming. Edge-lit TVs are thinner but dim far less precisely.
- Mini LED full-array
- Resolution
- 4K
HDR & color
- HDR formatsHDR formats describe how a TV should show bright highlights and rich color. Dolby Vision and HDR10+ adjust the picture scene by scene; a source and TV must both support a format to use it.
- Dolby Vision, HDR10+
Refresh & motion
- Native refresh rateHow many new images per second the panel can really show. Marketing “motion rates” are often double this number, so check the native figure.
- 60 Hz
Smart platform
- Smart TV platformThe software your TV runs. It decides your home screen, app selection and how often you’ll see ads.
- Roku TV
- Broadcast tunerNeeded to watch free over-the-air TV with an antenna. ATSC 3.0 is the newer US standard; a few TVs have dropped tuners entirely.
- ATSC 1.0
HDMI & connections
- HDMI ports
- 4
- HDMI 2.1 portsPorts with enough bandwidth for 4K at 120 Hz and beyond. If you have more than one current console or a gaming PC, count these carefully.
- 4
- HDMI notes
- Roku's support page lists all four HDMI inputs as HDMI 2.1 with eARC on HDMI 4, but the panel is 60Hz. The earlier first-generation Plus had HDMI 2.0 inputs.
