Roku has decided to go and proceed with making its smart displays, after years of relying on other companies to deliver its RokuOS smart TV system. The company recently confirmed that it will indeed go on the self-made route to deliver its streaming capabilities and tech features on its devices, no longer relying on previous partners.
The RokuOS is one of the most popular and highly-reliable smart TV systems in the world, partnering with companies like Hisense and TCL to deliver its tech.
Roku to Soon Release Smart TVs with RokuOS
Roku has made one of the most anticipated announcements from the company, and it is the latest venture in developing and manufacturing its smart TVs, coming soon for all. It will come with a built-in RokuOS to power the device, and will all be under the Roku branding, after several years of offering its system via other television brands.
There were massive rumors in the past regarding this venture from Roku, with this being a "serious" project to grow its technology and offers for the public.
Two smart TVs are coming, and it includes the Roku Series and Roku Plus Series TVs, featuring different tiers for various needs and applications.
Self-Made Smart TVs from Roku
There will be 11 variants available to the public soon, ranging from 24 inches to 75 inches under the Series and Plus TV models.
Its price ranges from its 24-inch entry-level starting at $119, down to its most expensive in the lineup, the 75-inch 4K TV with a $999 price tag. The Select, Plus TV, and Roku TV wireless soundbars are coming to the US in Spring 2023.
Roku also unveiled its Roku TV OLED reference design for all partners, as part of its CES 2023 showcase.
Roku and its Platform
For the longest time now, Roku has been a notable provider of the smart TV, featuring its software to deliver a new kind of streaming experience for homes and establishments, alongside other needs. And there are plenty of options from the company to get the Roku features and one is via RokuOS-powered smart televisions.
The other way is to get either a Roku black box to connect via HDMI, and another option is via the famed Roku Streaming Stick, one that features the same RokuOS on the smart TV despite not buying the built-in one.
The company offers more than delivering one's intuitive software for television, as it also provides streaming for different platforms like Amazon Prime Video, IMDb TV, and more.
All of Roku's packages come as an addition to other products from various companies before, but that will soon change with the company's latest announcement to develop and manufacture its TVs. This venture is something that the company planned for a long time now, and looking forward to providing the public with an all-in streaming experience.
