The TV's have been problematic, but the devices them selves have been basically cheap and works. With LESS nonsense than the alternatives in that category: firesticks and google devices.

On the other hand, with a Roku you are limited to no vpn, and rare apps you might want (the exception being the nice youtube ad blocker).
