Because my time was limited, I missed so much at CES 2024, and that includes the announcement of the Roku Pro Series TVs. The new Roku Pro Series is the company’s jump into a “premium” TV. Priced between $900 and $1,700, these TVs aren’t as expensive as some competition but they are trying to compete in the same space.
I would love to find out just how good the Roku Pro Series is, but all of my emails to Roku have fallen on deaf ears. But from the information we have, these TVs are looking to target the likes of TCL and Hisense. Though I will say that is a tall order. Both TCL and Hisense are offering some remarkable TVs in this price range, so it will be difficult to compete.
Not to mention that the rumor mill is buzzing about Roku’s intention to inject advertising into third-party devices without the users’ permission. This could potentially mean, that if you buy a Roku Pro Series, if you plug a Chromecast or Apple TV into it, Roku could serve ads to that device. At any rate, here is some of what to expect from the Roku Pro Series.
