The list

Number 2

Best for small spaces

Roku 24-Inch Select Series Smart TV 2026-720p HD TV

This is the one to buy when space is the main limit. The 23.6-inch screen fits on a kitchen counter, a dorm desk or an RV shelf, and the 720p HD picture is sharp enough at that size. It doesn’t give up the extras either: you still get a voice remote, Dolby Audio and Bluetooth headphone mode, so late-night viewing won’t disturb anyone.

• Compact, not stripped down. A 24" flat screen with 720p HD that suits small rooms and secondary spaces.
• Streaming built in. Dual-band Wi-Fi and the Roku platform put your apps on the Home Screen, with no extra device needed.
• Easy hookup. Two HDMI inputs plus one HDMI ARC, a USB port and an antenna input cover a console, a soundbar and live TV.

Number 3

Best mid-size Full HD

Roku 40-Inch Select Series Smart TV 2026-1080p Full HD TV

If the 32-inch feels small, this is the natural step up. It has the same 1080p picture and Roku interface on a 40-inch screen that is 35.1 inches wide, which fills a bigger bedroom or a small living room without taking over. Three HDMI inputs give you room for a console, a streaming stick and a soundbar.

• A bigger Full HD picture. 1080p resolution on a 40" flat screen, well suited to a larger bedroom or compact living room.
• Quick to set up. Fast Wi-Fi gets you online in minutes, and the simple Home Screen keeps your apps in one place.
• Room for your gear. Three HDMI inputs and a USB port let you connect several devices at once.

Number 4

Best big screen

Roku 55-Inch Select Series Smart TV 2026-4K

This is the biggest screen on the list and the most feature-rich Roku. A QLED panel with 4K resolution and HDR10 aims for brighter, richer color than the standard LED screens elsewhere here. It also adds Game Mode, variable refresh rate and Art Mode, and a wired Ethernet port for a steadier connection. The panel is 60Hz, which suits streaming and casual gaming.

• QLED 4K picture. A 55" screen with sharp 4K detail and HDR10 for bright, accurate color.
• Built for gaming and display. Game Mode and VRR help with console play, while Art Mode turns the screen into a display when you aren’t watching.
• Wired or wireless. Use Wi-Fi or plug in Ethernet for a more stable connection.

Number 5

Best 4K for a smaller living room

Roku 50-Inch Select Series Smart TV 2026-4K

This gives you most of the 55-inch’s picture in a slightly smaller package. You get the same 4K QLED panel and HDR10, in a 49.5-inch diagonal that suits apartments and mid-size rooms. It’s a sensible way to get 4K and a quantum-dot screen without needing as much wall space.

• 4K QLED in a smaller size. A 50" flat screen with 4K detail and HDR10, a good fit for apartments and mid-size rooms.
• Same Roku features. Game Mode, VRR and Art Mode come from the same series as the 55-inch.
• Simple to use. The Roku Home Screen and voice remote keep navigation straightforward.

More from the listing (3)
