This huge 65-inch Roku QLED TV just dropped under $380

When did a 65-inch QLED television with a built-in streaming, variable refresh rate, and HDR10 support become something you could buy for under $400?

Apparently now, because Amazon has cut the Roku Select Series 65-inch 4K QLED TV from $449.99 to $379.99, a $70 saving that puts a genuinely capable large-screen set well below what this size and panel technology used to cost.

The Roku 65″ Select Series 4K TV uses a QLED panel with HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG support, which means colour and brightness handling across a wide range of streaming content rather than just the formats one or two platforms happen to use.

Roku Smart Picture works in the background to analyse incoming signals and automatically apply the appropriate picture mode, removing the need to manually toggle settings every time you switch between a dark drama and a brightly lit sports broadcast.

The operating system is Roku OS, which is one of the more straightforward smart TV platforms in terms of navigation, and it gives access to over 500 free channels alongside paid services including Netflix, Disney Plus, Prime Video, Hulu, and Apple TV Plus.

Variable Refresh Rate reduces screen tearing during gaming sessions, and the three HDMI ports give enough connectivity for a console, a soundbar, and a streaming device without running out of inputs immediately.

Bluetooth Headphone Mode lets you route audio directly to a pair of wireless headphones without disturbing anyone else in the room, which is a practical feature that many televisions at this price point still don’t include as standard.

Voice control works across Roku Voice, Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant, and the enhanced voice remote includes a lost remote finder, which removes the specific frustration of being held hostage by a handset that has disappeared between the sofa cushions.

A 65-inch QLED at $379.99 is a strong offer for anyone furnishing a living room or bedroom without wanting to spend flagship money, though this is a 60Hz panel, so those prioritising smoothness for fast-paced gaming may want to weigh that before committing.
