These TVs are Roku’s first foray into TV manufacturing. In the past, Roku was happy to work closely with partners to bring Roku branded TVs to market. From TCL, Hisense, Sharp and more, these TVs offer a range of sizes and image enhancements.

According to Roku, those partnerships aren’t going away. Roku partners with Best Buy to sell the new product exclusively, so it’s not currently available at Amazon, Walmart, Target, or other retailers. Amazon followed a similar path when it released its own branded TV in 2021.

The Fire TV Omni and Fire TV 4 series were initially only available at Best Buy and Amazon, while other partners’ Fire TVs were available at various retailers.
