Unless these are actually the new Roku-branded TV's, the physical TV is built by other companies like TCL and similar. They are responsible for any hardware failures. Roku just supplies the software.
They were branded as roku tvs. Last time I tried to get a tcl roku TV to try a different model and IT DID THE SAME THING THE ROKU TVS DID. I clicked on an app and the screen just went black. I'm truly done!
The vast majority of things labeled “Roku TV” are sold by TV companies like TCL, Hisense, Westinghouse etc. “Roku TV” in that sense is just a new buzzword like “Color TV”, or “High Definition TV”. Most of the companies selling Roku TVs, in my opinion are second/third/fourth tier TV companies, but your opinion may vary.
Roku did just recently come out with their own line of Roku-brand Roku TVs. Maybe they’ll turn out to be OK, but they haven’t been around nearly long enough for me to trust them. After I see some 10-year reports, that may change.
Until then, I’m happy with my $30 Roku Express hooked to my 16-year-old Samsung TV.
This is what I suggest you do to your ROKU device.
