TV-makers TCL and Hisense are launching smart TVs that incorporate the Roku OS. While TV models from Sanyo and JVC bundled a version of the Roku streaming stick, these smart TVs integrate Roku directly into the platform.
The TVs features a personalised home screen that provides front-and-centre access to antenna, broadcast TV, favourite streaming channels and devices such as game consoles. Consumers will also have access to the Roku Channel Store, which includes more than 1,500 streaming channels that feature 200,000+ movies and TV episodes plus live sports, news, music, kids and family, food, science and tech, fitness, foreign language and so on.
"Roku is the recognised leader in streaming entertainment to the TV, so integrating its powerful operating system, including access to the most comprehensive streaming channel store available, into a Hisense TV is a revolutionary move," said Peter Erdman, vice president of consumer electronics at Hisense USA. "This deep partnership has allowed us to create the Hisense Roku TV H4 Series which presents consumers with an affordable, simple to use smart TV."
Consumers can navigate their TV experience with either the Roku TV remote control, which has half the buttons of a traditional TV remote, or their mobile device by using the Roku mobile app for iOS, Android or Windows. Consumers can cast popular streaming channels and personal video, photos and music directly from their mobile to the TV.
