If you’ve come this far in the shopping frenzy and haven’t upgraded that aging TV, here’s one final pitch for a model that’s virtually guilt-free. This 55-inch model from Roku is just $400 and gives you everything you need. You’ll get solid brightness and vivid colors, local dimming so there’s no blotchy white patches at night (talk about mood killers), and it’s all run by Roku’s easy, breezy, and utterly intuitive smart system. With just a 60-Hz refresh rate, this isn’t a top model for gamers, but it’ll still work great for the non-pro gamers among us, and offers extras like support for Apple Homekit, Alexa, and Google Assistant. It all adds up to one of our favorite TVs for the money. Your old TV has done everything it could for you. It’s time you both moved on.
With that, it’s a wrap on our live blog, folks. Don’t forget to check out our post of the Absolute Best Deals before you hit the hey. And now, we bid you sweet dreams and a happy wrapping season.
