Roku Pro Series OLED: prices, fit, and what the testing says
Roku's first OLED, and the cheapest new OLED we cover. It's dim, so it belongs in a dark room, where it's hard to beat for the money.
Our take
The short version
The Roku Pro Series OLED gets you per-pixel blacks and a simple, fast Roku OS for about the price of a midrange mini-LED. It has four HDMI 2.1 ports, one with eARC, plus 120Hz with VRR and FreeSync Premium, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+. It launched in September 2026 in 55 and 65 inches.
Its limit is light output. Tom's Guide measured 574 nits in HDR, against 780 for the LG B6 and 1,365 for the C6. In a room with sun on the screen that shows right away. With the lights off it hardly matters.
Amazon is where to buy it: it's the only store Roku's product page links to. The 65-inch was $799.99 for Prime members during Prime Big Deal Days and $999.99 from Amazon.com on October 12, 14, and 19, against a $1,199.99 list price.

The scores, explained
Fit by room and use
By room
- Bright room2/5
- Tom's Guide's 574-nit HDR reading is the lowest we have for any TV here, and daylight washes it out. It shares the lowest bright-room score.
- Mixed light3.5/5
- Lamps at night are fine; afternoons with the blinds open are not. The blend lands near the bottom of the catalog.
- Dark room5/5
- Per-pixel blacks make it as good as any OLED here in a dark room, at the lowest OLED price.
By use
- Movies & TV4/5
- Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and perfect blacks. Dim HDR highlights and processing that trails the C6 and S90H keep it a step below them.
- Sports3/5
- Clean motion, but day games are usually watched in a lit room, where it struggles. It's not the sports pick.
- Gaming5/5
- Four HDMI 2.1 ports at 120Hz with VRR, and Tom's Guide measured 9.1 milliseconds of input lag. For consoles it ties the top score.
- A bit of everything4/5
- Strong gaming and good movies, weak sports. A dark-room set first.
