PCMag reviewed Roku's entry into the OLED market via the Pro Series OLED TV, noting that testing on the 65-inch unit ($1,199.99) applies similarly to the 55-inch version. The reviewer highlights exceptionally low input lag (8.8ms at 4K60), accurate color reproduction, and bloom-free contrast, making it well-suited for gaming and dark-room viewing. The main drawback is modest peak brightness (639 nits at a 10% white field), causing shadow details to wash out in well-lit rooms compared to mini-LEDs or higher-end OLEDs.

## Media review

PCMag rates the Roku Pro Series OLED 4.0, calling its tested 65-inch model strong for gaming and dark-room viewing because of its accurate color, pixel-level contrast, and low input lag, while noting that limited brightness makes it less suitable for dark scenes in bright rooms.
