Overview
The 55R8C5 packs a 55 inch 4K QLED display, 120Hz refresh rate, and Roku's smart platform into one set, connecting over Bluetooth, Ethernet, USB-C, or Wi-Fi.
QLED backlighting typically supports wider color and contrast than standard LED panels, and the 120Hz refresh rate helps smooth out fast motion compared to a 60Hz set. Roku's platform is built in, so no separate streaming box is needed. At 40.9 lb, it's substantial enough that a wall mount or stand needs to be rated for the weight.
