How to know if you have a Roku TV

How to know if you have a Roku TV or a Roku-branded TV

Roku® manufactures its own Roku-branded TVs and also partners with a variety of other TV manufacturers who build Roku TV models with different screen sizes, price points, and picture resolutions. Each of these models is a standalone smart TV with a built-in TV display and Roku operating system that lets you stream content over the internet without needing to connect any additional devices.

A Roku player on the other hand, is an external device like a cable set-top box that must be connected to a TV with an HDMI® cable to let you watch content streamed over the internet. A Roku Streaming Stick® 4K is a type of Roku player that also connects to a TV, but it plugs directly into the HDMI port on a TV.

If you're looking to compare features between the latest Roku streaming devices, the following resources will help answer your questions. If you're not sure what type of TV you own, use the guidelines below to help determine if you have a Roku TV or a Roku-branded TV.

This article will help you determine if you have a Roku TV or a Roku-branded TV and what company manufactured it.

Look for the Roku TV logo

For Roku-branded TVs, you will find the Roku logo on the bottom center of the TV.
