PROS AND CONS​
Westinghouse Edgeless QLED Roku TV​
Pros:
• Amazing picture quality after proper settings adjustments
• Easy to set up and unpack
• Good sound quality that fills the room
• Remote functionality is strong, allowing control from a distance
• Affordable price for the features offered
• Works as advertised for basic usage

Cons:
• Apps are slow and rarely load
• Significant bezel around the display, contrary to product images
• No physical buttons on the TV, relying solely on the remote
• Limited picture quality adjustments available in the menu
• Not as sharp of a picture as some might expect

Overall Impression:
This TV offers impressive picture quality and functionality at an affordable price, making it a good option for casual viewers. However, its slow app performance, lack of physical controls, and limited picture adjustments may frustrate more demanding users. Overall, it’s a solid choice for those willing to invest time in setup and adjustments.
Roku Smart TV​
Pros:
• Amazing picture quality for standard content
• Smooth processing and functionality
• Accurate and fast voice function on the remote
• Affordable upgrade option

Cons:
• Inability to support HDR10+, leading to poor viewing experiences
• Limited picture settings with no option to reduce resolution
• Picture modes for HDR10+ result in unsatisfactory visuals
• No ability to deactivate HDR, making certain content unwatchable
• Ongoing issues with Roku TV settings not being addressed

Overall Impression:
While the 55” QLED TV offers excellent picture quality and smooth performance for standard viewing, it falls short significantly for HDR10+ content, rendering it nearly unwatchable. The lack of flexibility in picture settings and the inability to deactivate HDR make it a less viable option for consumers who wish to enjoy newer shows that utilize this technology. Overall, it may be a good choice for those who primarily watch non-HDR content, but it is not recommended for avid streamers looking to experience the latest in visual fidelity.
