In news that will free up an HDMI port, Roku, the brand best known for making little streaming dongles you plug into a TV, is now making its own TVs, the company announced at CES. <\/p>\n

The TVs will be separated into Select and Plus categories, with Plus models coming with an upgraded remote. <\/p>\n

According to Roku, the TVs will be sized from 24 inches all the way up to 75 inches. In other words, they’ll be useful for either a small bedroom or one of those kind of embarrassing “man-caves” you see online. The best part? They’ll all be priced at $999 or less. They’ll also be compatible with Roku’s wireless soundbars and subwoofers. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Roku didn’t have any other info to offer in regards to screen resolution, refresh rate, port selection, or other odds and ends that people look for when buying a TV.<\/p>\n

The move is an interesting one from Roku, as the company has licensed its Roku OS smart TV software to TV manufacturers like TCL<\/a> for years. Unless Roku introduces snazzy exclusive features we haven’t seen yet, it sounds like these TVs will be similar to those sold by TCL: affordable and running on Roku software. That doesn’t mean they won’t be good or worthwhile, but it means they likely won’t be state-of-the-art powerhouses either. <\/p>\n

Still, you won’t have to dedicate an HDMI port to that Roku streamer anymore. Count your blessings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
