Would you and could you set up Roku with this tv or would it be redundant? Would it be better to get the regular 32 inch LED Philips?

It will be redundant, but the Roku remote is very good as compared to what Philips would offer. But if you want to buy Roku, why not just buy a regular 32 inch?

Not sure what Roku is but TV says that more apps can be added later. So maybe that will help you decide.

I'm sure you could set up Roku with it. My complaint was centered about its wireless capability not being compatible with Mac systems. If you don't have Mac, you can just wirelessly stream everything from your computer to the TV (no need for an HDMI cord). If you can do that, then no need for Roku, right?

You dont need Roku with this TV as you can find most of the apps with this TV. Another disadvantage of Roku with regular TV is, Roku does not have Youtube app now. To do that, you have to install another app to your computer and then stream the Video from your computer to be shown on the TV which is sometimes painful because I like doing the search on the TV and play it instantaneously.

Same with my 47lw5600 tv. No solution, no solution likely because LG discontinues support for all products after about 12 months (when they move to next year's model). I think I will get a Roku in the future since they sell their product to work as a streaming device.

i had to order mine and got it 3wks later cuz i didnt wanna pay for the extra charge in shipping. This isnt lakeshia,its her husband and i got the 60inch lg smart tv and it works pretty good. if u have a keyboard hooked up to ur tv the internet would be a whole lot better than using the remote. i can use the dongle to watch netflix and hulu without no problem. so lemme know if it works out for u. charles

Peter, I am very confused by my Roku purchase because of my poor computer understanding. I am not qualified to answer your question; only to say I am returning my purchase because I can't utilize it. Good luck, Michael P.s. I would use velco tape instead of the mounting kit and attach it to the back of your TV with the light still showing.

A Roku box is unnecessary, according to my relative who received this TV from me as gift. last year we gave him the Roku box for use with his old set, so I believe he knows from personal experience. Can't help with the how to part. Sorry.

I'm waiting on my roku, so take this advice with a grain of salt. From what I've read on the reviews, it seems that you can hook it up via A/V RCA cables, so no HDMI is required if you have a SD TV. A lot of folks on here seem to have SD TV setups, so I think HDMI is an option not a requirement.

One Roku for each tv. You could probably use a splitter and have 2 tv.s using 1 Roku.

Nope mine works great. Actually I love it. wish I would've dropped the extra couple hundred on the slim though. But if you get a new one don't get a "smart' tv for another 80 bucks you can buy a Roku box, if you don't already have one, and it's WAY better.

yes, with this tv you should use an HDMI cable so you will show a much better picture. i do not believe that any of the Roku's come with an HDMI cable so just buy one through amazon or use one that you already have.

I have the fifty five inch. We got it for a great price at walmart. We were hesistant at first. But its a great tv. I recommend hisense. A lot of people have never heard of the brand which makes it seem like you shouldn't buy it. We have had it for about five months. We use it often and the color is great. Picture volume appearance is great.

I have never been able to stream with the Roku I purchased from Amazon a couple of years ago. It is just sitting by my television. I do have a smart TV now by Samsung so I really do not need the devise anymore. Sorry I cannot answer this question.

I would say Vizio is a more highly respected brand. My brother ha a 32" lcd Vizio and I have the 32" led Coby. The picture on both is great, but the sound on the Vizio is WAY better than my Coby. That said, there is usually a significant difference in price, so depending on the intended usage (my Coby is a secondary TV), you might be just fine with it. If you are an avid TV/movie watcher, and this TV will be your primary one, I would suggest going with a Vizio TV rather than a Coby one.

You can use the roku streaming stick and so avoid another box. The roku stick comes with or without a remote ($ 20 more.) The remote which comes with the tv is said to work with the streaming stick.Or if you have one, you can use an ordinary roku box, just like any other tv. So "roku ready" is a small advantage.

Yes is should work out fine.... I had my Roku hooked up to HDMI 1 then I had my xbox hooked up on HDMI 2 ( also used as my DVD player ) and then just had the normal antenna hooked up for free TV over the air via coax and I run everything from my optical out to the soundbar, so no matter what input your on the optical should play all... Hope this helps.
