Roku Pro Series TV now available in the US with more software features to come

After its CES 2024 introduction, Roku is releasing its Pro Series TV in the US. The affordable, high-end product combines advanced picture innovations with a great design, immersive side-firing audio, a new Voice Remote Pro, and Roku OS.

“We've invested years in making the picture great for the shows and movies you're watching — and now
we’ve added the simplicity of automation,” said Chris Larson, Vice President of Retail Strategy at Roku. “Our Pro Series TVs not only look and sound beautiful; they also give our customers the best possible viewing experience, no matter what they’re watching.”

The Roku Pro Series TV features miniLED backlighting for deep blacks and beautiful colors. This 4K QLED TV has a 120Hz panel with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision IQ technologies. Some of the core features of Roku Pro Series TV are:

• Sleek design: At only 1.9” and with a striking shadowbox frame, the Pro Series’ clean lines and
  architectural styling are an eye-catching complement to any home.
• Snappy streaming: All new quad-core processor and Wi-Fi 6 allow users to search, navigate, and
  launch content faster than before.
• Automatic brightness: Automatically adjust brightness settings based on room lighting for a
  bright, clear picture at any time of day.
• Roku Soundstage Audio: Dolby Atmos speakers designed by Roku’s Audio
  Innovation team for a wide, cinematic sound.
• Headphone Mode: Connect Bluetooth headphones to enjoy entertainment at any volume.
• Game on: Automatic game mode drops you right into the action. Enjoy tear-free gaming with
  120Hz refresh, AMD Freesync Premium Pro, ALLM, and VRR.
• Slim-profile Wall Mount Kit: Optional accessory designed by Roku with hinge and kickstand for easy access to TV ports and cables.

With the 2nd generation Roku Voice Remote Pro, users get backlit buttons, a USB-C rechargeable battery, a Live TV Guide button, a Quick Launch Button, hands-free voice commands, and a Remote finder.
