Just bought new TV should I use Roku ultra or TV interface

Just bought a Samsung QN90C. Obviously this is a great TV, but if I use Roku ultra, is the TV still using its own processor or is it using the Ultra processor? Does using the TV’s interface slow down its processor or anything so it’s better to run the Roku ultra? Also does using the ultra still allow the tv to do all its special things like up scaling? I’m a little lost on what’s best for me. Looking for help thanks!

Re: Just bought new TV should I use Roku ultra or TV interface

Hi @geto25,

Welcome to the Roku Community, and thanks for the inquiry.

Here are a few things that you can take note of. Roku streaming devices run different software. So when connected to a TV, automatically, the TV will work as a display, and the processor will be your Roku streaming device. All features, accessibility, and functionality can be accessed and navigated directly to the device and not on the TV. But there are some inputs that need to navigate directly to the TV. It seems like a lot of information, but you can visit our Support page here: How to set up your Roku Ultra.

Hope this answers your query.

Thanks,

Rey
