Roku Pro Series OLED TV Review: Affordable OLED With Trade-Offs

TechRadar's review says Roku's Pro Series OLED TV, released in September 2026, brings OLED to a lower price with deep blacks and a 120Hz panel, but brightness, color and audio fall short of some rivals.

TechRadar described the set as an affordable way to get an OLED TV. It said the OLED panel produces deep blacks, the setup is tool-less, and the 120Hz refresh rate is a plus. The review also found no hands-free control and sound quality a little worse than previous Roku Pros. TechRadar noted the shadowbox design is gone, which also means less cable management.

The review says color and brightness are not as brilliant as some alternatives, though it calls limited brightness par for the course with budget OLED. Because brightness is limited, TechRadar warns the screen is prone to reflections overpowering it in bright rooms. It positions the TV for buyers who want OLED but are price-sensitive and whose room is not too bright.

The Roku Pro Series OLED TV has been available since the beginning of September 2026. Unlike the Roku Pro Series (2025), which came in 55-, 65- and 75-inch sizes, the OLED version reviewed by TechRadar comes in only 55 and 65 inches. The 2025 Roku Pro Series launched at $1,199.99 and was selling for $699.99 at the time of writing, according to the review. The OLED 65-inch model was available for $999.99 during the review period and later fell to $799.

TechRadar lists an OLED screen, 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HLG, Dolby Atmos, the Roku smart TV platform, four HDMI 2.1 ports with one eARC, and an ATSC tuner.

In TechRadar's benchmark tests, the Roku Pro OLED measured 462 nits in HDR Filmmaker Mode on a 10% window and 96 nits fullscreen, compared with 835 and 150 nits for the LG B6 and 2,270 and 723 nits for the TCL QM7L. In HDR Standard Mode, it reached 587 nits on a 10% window and 113 nits fullscreen, compared with 740 and 150 for the LG B6 and 2,419 and 774 for the TCL QM7L.

For SDR Filmmaker Mode, the Roku Pro OLED measured 330 nits on a 10% window; the LG B6 measured 192 nits and the TCL QM7L 196 nits. In SDR Standard Mode, the Roku measured 384 nits, against 230 nits for the LG B6 and 463 nits for the TCL QM7L. TechRadar's HDR color gamut results were 96.2% UHDA-P3 and 71.1% BT.2020 for the Roku, 97.4% and 72.5% for the LG B6, and 98% and 90.5% for the TCL QM7L. Its SDR Delta-E score was 2.3, compared with 1.1 for the LG B6 and 2.6 for the TCL QM7L, where a lower score is better.

TechRadar's review says the Roku Pro Series OLED TV is conflicted: at its price, the best TVs offer more outside deeper blacks, but it should rank among the best OLED TVs at that price and makes OLED more accessible. TechRadar called the $799 price for the 65-inch model astonishing value.
