Roku launches mega cheap TVs from only £139 packed with free streaming apps and hundreds of extra channels
MOST people think of streaming sticks when they hear Roku but the brand also has fully-fledged TVs.
The American tech firm has now launched a range of budget tellies for Brits, starting at £139.
It comes as the company moves further in the UK TV market, following the success of products like Roku Express and the Roku Streaming Stick 4K.
Roku’s Veltech brand has the full Roku experience built-in with access to the same apps.
This means you can watch thousands of free movies and TV shows legally through some of the little-known services we’ve listed further down.
The cheapest of the Veltech range is a 32-inch 2K Full HD model.
There’s also a 40-inch version, which costs £189.
And at the top it’s a 43-inch size but in 4K Ultra HD, for £209.
All three are being sold exclusively through AO.com.
Roku has been gradually stepping up rivalry against Amazon‘s Fire TV and Fire TV Stick.
Recent research claimed that Roku is now the most popular streaming device in the US.
“The new Veltech Roku TV range marks another milestone in our TV partnership programme and sees the integration of Roku’s seamless streaming capabilities with Veltech’s impeccable TV quality,” said Richard Halton, Country Manager at Roku UK.
“These new models are exceptional value for consumers and provide them with the perfect immersive viewing experience.
“We are committed to providing our customers with even more choice from their Roku TV experience, maintaining our position as a leading provider of streamed entertainment.”
