This may sound a bit strange, but the firstOLED Roku smart TVsare launching today.
Two sizes of Sharp AQUOS OLED Roku TVs are now available, plus a range of differently-sized LCD models.
It’s a glaring omission in Roku’s catalog, but Sharp is coming to the rescue.

By filling this premium niche, Sharp hopes to regain the respect that it had in past decades.
(All Sharp TVs sold in the U.S. from 2015 to 2019 were made by Hisense.
Sharp reacquired its U.S. branding because it felt that Hisense hadtarnished its name.)
These new Sharp TVs are pretty impressive.
Obviously, they use OLED display panels, which achieve a better contrast ratio than LCD or QLED.
But they’re also enhanced by HDR10, Dolby HDR, and Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) technology.
The TVs also offer a 4K resolution with a 120Hz variable refresh rate for all four HDMI inputs.
You may want to pluga soundbarinto the TV’s HDMI eARC port to circumvent the problem.
Sharp’s AQUOS OLED Roku TVs are available today in55-inchand65-inchconfigurations.
They cost $1,500 and $2,000, respectively, and offer an identical set of features.
