Roku today announced that it has added the Sharp brand to the Roku TV program. Sharp Roku TV models will soon be available for purchase exclusively at Best Buy stores as well as at BestBuy.ca. Roku also announced that Insignia Roku TV models will also be available for purchase this month at Best Buy stores in Canada and from BestBuy.ca.
Here’s an image of the Sharp TV:
And the Insignia TV:
The Roku TV home screen can be personalized with icons for favorite TV entertainment choices, including devices such as game consoles, cable boxes and Blu-ray players, together with favorite streaming channels. Consumers no longer need to navigate through multiple inputs and complicated menus that have plagued other smart TVs. Now, in just a few clicks of the remote, consumers can watch a live television show, stream a movie or listen to a favorite song all from their Roku TV home screen.
Roku TV provides access to the Roku Channel Store, which includes more available streaming channels than any other smart TV in Canada. Streaming channels available on the Roku platform feature movies and TV episodes plus live sports, music, news, fitness, and much more. In addition, Roku TVs feature Roku’s comprehensive and unbiased search to help consumers find availability and pricing for movies and TV shows across many top streaming channels. Search results are ordered with the cheapest (or free) results listed first. Consumers can also search for actors and directors and view filmographies.
Roku TV models also include the Roku Feed, a new feature that updates consumers when entertainment they’re interested in becomes available to stream — and at what price. When browsing within Movies Coming Soon, consumers can “Follow” popular in-theater movies and receive automatic updates when relevant streaming information about the movie becomes available. Updates are provided when a movie is first released to streaming, becomes available from additional streaming channels or changes price.
Consumers control Roku TV with a remote designed especially for the Roku OS. This simple and intuitive remote control has half the buttons of a traditional TV remote and includes a directional pad for additional convenience. Roku TV can also be controlled with a mobile device using the free Roku mobile app for iOS, Android and Windows Phone. The iOS and Android versions also support voice search. In addition, consumers can cast Netflix and YouTube, as well as personal video, photos and music, directly from their mobile device to their Roku TV.
Both Sharp Roku TV models feature 1080p Full HD resolution and a 60hz native refresh rate. The 43” LED Sharp Roku TV will be available for C$499.99 (MSRP). The 50” LED Sharp Roku TV will be available for C$699.99 (MSRP). Both are available exclusively at Best Buy stores and BestBuy.ca. The 32” Insignia Roku TV will be available for C$329.99 (MSRP). The 55” Insignia Roku TV will be available for C$799.99 (MSRP). Both feature LED screens and 1080p Full HD, as well as 60Hz refresh rates. Again, they will be available exclusively at Best Buy stores and BestBuy.ca.
