Roku’s Premium ‘Pro Series’ TVs Are Now Available To Buy

Roku has now officially launched its new Roku Pro Series TVs. The company first announced its plans to launch a new smart TV series earlier this year. At the time, however, there was no firm date on when the new TV line would become available.

That’s now changed. Beginning today, the new Roku Pro Series TVs can be purchased in store and online through various retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart, as well as directly through Roku. In terms of options and prices, the Roku Pro Series TVs are available in 55”, 65” and 75” models with the cost ranging from $899.99 to $1699.99.

As these are marketed as ‘Pro’ models, they are designed to offer a more premium experience compared to Roku’s other TV lines, Plus and Select. Most notably, the new Pro lineup features Mini-LED backlighting, a 120Hz panel and support for Dolby Vision IQ. In addition to making use of Roku Smart Picture, an automatic feature that’s capable of adjusting picture modes, the Roku Pro Series also supports Smart Picture Max. According to Roku, Smart Picture Max makes use of AI to refine color, contrast, and sharpness in real-time scene-by-scene.

These TVs also feature an all-new flagship processor and upgraded memory architecture, making them “the snappiest Roku devices ever.” Buyers can also expect an improved sound experience, thanks to the inclusion of side-firing Dolby Atmos speakers that are designed to provide a wider, more cinematic sound.

Roku Pro Series TV Features:

• Brilliant picture: With a responsive 120Hz 4K panel, mini-LED backlight, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision IQ, the Pro Series delivers strikingly accurate color, dazzling highlights, and deep blacks that make content pop off the screen.
