It was a cheap TV on sale. I hate the Android/Fire interface so I just connected my Roku to it. That's why I would prefer to just buy "dumb TV's" and use my own streamer.

If you to the far end of the Walmart parking lot..you will see a white van with no license plates that has really good deals on TVs and other electronics..just ask for Guido and tell him Juan sent you

some of the newer roku models now require an internet connection!!!

Well, picture quality can be subjective. I was referring to the high-end OLEDs, RGB mini-LEDs, etc. which have a measurably excellent picture. You cannot get those in a dumb version aside from some commercial models which cost a lot more.

One perspective that I tend to agree with. Fox probably doesn't want to do anything that will alienate the customer base they're spending so much money on.

Worried about Fox buying Roku? Here are three popular concerns - and why I'm optimistic

The Fox-Roku megadeal has users worried, but it's not all bad.
