Entertainment upgrades aren’t always easy on the wallet, especially if you’re looking to grab a new screen. Luckily, Amazon just said a big, fat “not today.”

The retailer has knocked 13% off the 40-inch Roku Smart TV (Select series), bringing the price down to just $130. If you’re after something a bit on the smaller side, the 32-inch version is discounted too, also sitting at $130. At this price, it makes sense to go with the bigger screen, because who doesn’t enjoy watching their favorite shows on a more immersive display without paying anything extra?

Spacious Display Delivering High-Quality Visuals

The 40-inch screen size is ideal for bedrooms, kitchens, and smaller living areas. It’s spacious enough not to make the content feel cramped, but also won’t take over an entire wall. The bright display delivers a stunning 1080p Full HD picture quality that’s sharp and detailed. Whether you’re streaming the latest Stephen King show on Netflix or rewatching old classics with friends, expect a clearer image with better color accuracy. There are multiple viewing modes to choose from (movie, sports, vivid, or standard), and Smart Picture technology automatically enables the right one based on what’s being played. Each of these is designed for different types of content. For instance, the Vivid enhances brightness and color saturation, while the Movie mode offers a more realistic, natural picture.

Sound-wise, you’re covered with Dolby Audio tech, which pushes rich, bold sound that doesn’t distort, even at high volume levels. Dialogues – we’re talking conversations, mumbles, whispers – get easier to follow, too. Even better, the screen supports headphone mode, so you can pair your wearable audio gear with the screen for private viewing. This is great for when you feel like streaming a show late at night but don’t want to wake the whole house up. Additionally, you can add select Roku audio devices, like a soundbar or a speaker, to boost the sound experience even further down the line.

There won’t be any shortage of content to binge-watch, since this smart TV brings all the popular streaming platforms in a single place. Think Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Disney, HBO Max, etc. Most of these require a monthly subscription to get started, but if you’re looking to cut back on that, there are over 500 live TV channels you can access for absolutely free. The home screen is easy to navigate, and voice assistant support means you can simply speak to get things done. Feel like watching a comedy show? Press the microphone button on the included remote and say something like “Alexa, show me the latest comedy series on Netflix”. The results will be displayed in seconds, all hands-free.

You can now enjoy all this and a lot more by paying just $130 for this smart TV today. It not only offers a solid picture quality but also impressive sound, voice control, a whole bunch of popular streaming platforms, and more. You can now pick up the 40-inch (or 32-inch) version at a 13% discount, but the offer wraps up soon. Grab it before it’s too late.
