Picture quality

High-Definition
Crisp, clear picture quality
Looking for a budget-friendly TV with a great picture? Check out HD Roku TVs.
High-definition TVs—or HD TVs—come in two resolutions: 720p and 1080p. Movies and TV shows are widely available in HD, so you can enjoy great picture quality while watching your favourite entertainment.

4K Ultra HD
4x the resolution. 4x the detail.
The higher the resolution, the more detailed a picture can be. So for picture quality that’s really going to wow, a 4K Ultra HD Roku TV is a great choice.
4K TVs have 4x the resolution of HD TVs, delivering incredibly lifelike pictures. Tons of entertainment is available in 4K—and even HD content looks better on a 4K TV, thanks to a feature called "video upscaling". It’s a great experience you’ll love for years to come.
HDR picture-enhancing technologies
While HD and 4K Ultra HD are all about the detail, High Dynamic Range, or HDR, is all about rich, vibrant colour and striking contrast. You’ll see clearer dark scenes, detailed bright scenes, and get a truly spectacular TV experience.

HDR
The term HDR usually refers to the most popular technology standard, HDR10. It makes colour brighter and richer, particularly in vibrant scenes like landscapes and cityscapes.

Dolby Vision is a premium HDR technology which supports HDR10, but allows for an even wider range of colours. Entertainment becomes truly immersive, something you have to see to believe.

Video upscaling
Upscaling boosts the picture quality of what you’re watching to optimize it for your TV’s resolution. That means when you watch HD programming on a 4K TV or standard definition shows on an HD TV, picture is sharper and clearer.

Use automatic settings for brilliant colour, contrast, and brightness. Or get a picture boost for sports, movies and more with easy presets.

Action smoothing
Great for watching sports, action movies, and other fast-moving entertainment with smoother, more fluid picture quality.

Full-array local dimming
FALD is top-of-the-line technology that creates striking contrast. It works by grouping TV backlights into individually controlled zones so that the picture can stay bright where it’s supposed to be bright—and dark where it’s not.
Top brands. Tons of options.
