The TCL Roku TV Delivers Slick Simplicity at a Low Price
Meghan Young — February 10, 2015 — Tech
The TCL Roku TV is perhaps one of the cheapest Smart TVs on the market and yet also one of the highest performing. Sleek and simple in both style and function, it provides people with a convenient and comprehensive experience on a variety of levels.
At its core, the TCL Roku TV boasts a user-friendly interface that puts apps and streaming video on the same plane as regular TV. Although it doesn't provide the best image or have an Ethernet port at all, Cnet writes, "The best smart-TV suite combined with extremely aggressive pricing makes the TCL Roku TV a phenomenal value despite its so-so picture quality." Of course, consumers are willing to make some trade-offs if the price is right.
