Roku's next wave of TVs start at just $130 — here's where to buy them
These TVs include new iterations of the Roku Pro, Roku Plus, and Roku Select Series TVs, each of which have ranked among the best budget TVs on the market.
Here's everything you can expect from the new lineup, which starts at just $130.
At the top of the list is Roku's newest Pro Series TV, which comes equipped with Mini-LED backlighting. Roku claims the new Pro Series offers a 75% boost in high dynamic contrast, owing to its new Smart Picture Max feature that dynamically adjusts picture performance depending on the scene.
Expect better highlights and less blooming
That means you can expect better highlights and less blooming, which was a major sticking point on the original Roku Pro Series that launched last year.
Like the Roku Ultra, one of the best streaming devices, the Roku Pro series comes equipped with the Roku Voice Remote Pro. It will also have a super slim profile and an accompanying wall mount kit that you can purchase separately.
The Roku Plus is getting some exciting changes as well. Namely, Mini-LED backlighting. A new built-in subwoofer also ensures you get incredible sound right out of the box — though, you will still probably want one of the best soundbars for better audio performance.

Roku's also giving the Plus its Smart Picture Max functionality found on the new Pro Series TV. It's unclear how much of an improvement this might bring to the Plus Series overall, but it should help to mitigate blooming and improve shadows.
You'll also find a new button on the TV itself, which will help you find the remote if it gets lost in the couch or elsewhere. As someone who loses the remote constantly, this is a handy feature — but it should also be available on Roku's app.
While the Roku Plus is getting an improved processor and the Roku Pro has some exciting new features in store, the Roku Select Series is the catch-all series that spans HD, FHD, and 4K resolutions, depending on which screen size you buy.
The good news of Roku's scattershot approach to the Select Series is that there's now an 85-inch size to the Select range. That's a huge win for sports and gaming fans, plus the Select series will also now have support for Dolby Audio on all models and HDR10+ support on the 4K screens.
You can pick Roku's newest TVs starting right now, available at Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and Amazon. As mentioned, prices start at just $130, making these prime savings for those looking to get a new screen.
The Roku Select, its cheapest of the bunch, is available in sizes ranging from 24-inch to 85-inch. The Roku Pro and Roku Plus, on the other hand, will only be available in 55-inch, 65-inch, and 75-inch configurations.
That's a major disappointment in the face of big TVs becoming ever-popular, but the upgrades are suitably interesting for Roku OS fans.
We'll be sure to get these new Roku sets in for testing to find which among them fits among the best Roku TVs given the 2025 improvements.

Lizzo Flaunts Weight Loss in Tight Biker Shorts but Some Fans Are Furious: Here's Why
Lizzo Flaunts Weight Loss in Tight Biker Shorts but Some Fans Are Furious: Here's Why originally appeared on Parade. Lizzo is totally embracing her new figure as she recently dropped a considerable amount of weight — and she's been showing it off on Instagram. On August 8, Lizzo posted a collaboration with Yitty activewear on her account. She wore a pair of tight green biker shorts and a fitted white sports bra and matching long sleeve top in an ad meant to promote the company. "If you want Yitty activewear, you can now get it at Walmart," Lizzo said in the video. And while some fans praised Lizzo, 37, for her consistency and her apparent hard work, others were upset that she promoted Walmart. The reason? "Corporate greed, companies that have rolled back their diversity, equity and inclusion efforts and President Donald Trump's efforts to eliminate federal DEI programs since taking office," according to USA Today. The comments section on Lizzo's post quickly filled up with people letting her know that they won't be supporting Walmart. "No lizzo love you but we're still mad at walmart," one person wrote. "But, we are not shopping there," someone else said. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! That just ruined the brand. I mean I'm sure you'll be making money but this really just tarnished it," a third comment read. "We are NOT shopping at Walmart… what is wrong with you?!? Read the room," a fourth Instagram user hasn't responded to people commenting about Walmart. However, she did recently open up about her weight loss and how she's feeling. 'I like how I look now. I still think I'm big. I'm still wearing plus-size clothing. I have the same rolls. I got the same belly, the same thighs – I think I'm just a smaller version," she said in an interview with Women's Health UK. 'Body positivity has nothing to do with staying the same. Body positivity is the radical act of daring to exist loudly and proudly in a society that told you you shouldn't exist," she added. Lizzo Flaunts Weight Loss in Tight Biker Shorts but Some Fans Are Furious: Here's Why first appeared on Parade on Aug 9, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 9, 2025, where it first appeared.
