Info on Roku TV model 40BA
I see that Walmart has a Roku TV with Model 40BA, but I can’t find any info on it. Does anyone know how it differs from the current model on the Roku website?

I’m not sure how this is selected as the solution when I stated that the site has no info on this model, and no Roku reps could find it either. Seems Roku may have gotten too big to support their own products.
The model and link you posted is a 40" Roku-branded Roku TV. (Select Series Full HD 1080) It will be the same TV whether you buy it at Walmart or Best Buy or on the Roku website. (it is the same Select Series TV).
However, that particular model number came up as no longer available/out of stock on my Walmart searches. On the Best Buy website the model number is 40R3B5/40R3BX for that same TV as well as on Roku's website.

The 40BA is likely an earlier version of the same TV, or is a model number reserved strictly for Walmart Sales/partnership, but the specs indicate exactly the same TV offered elsewhere.
Thanks for the response. I ended up buying the TV because it was a little cheaper and the extended warranty was real cheap at Walmart. I assume that it’s not old since the date on the package was from last month. But my question about the difference stems from the fact that I’ve had issues with TVs slowing down quicker than I’d like. I’m hoping that this model has the same processing power as the other models so that I don’t have to buy another tv in a few years just because the OS and apps get painfully slow.
Yes, I don't think it is older either since they reviews for it were pretty current (last couple of weeks). I am kind of leaning toward it just being a Walmart-exclusive model number.
The support for it should last quite a bit since it is a Roku-branded TV, but I think as with all smart-TVs, the software will eventually outpace the hardware. (just inevitable).
Hopefully it will treat you good for awhile. Free free to keep us posted on your experience with it since the Roku-branded Roku TVs are still quite new in the lineup.
