- Roku slashes prices on products in back-to-school sale.
- TVs including a QLED big-screen product included in the deal.
- You can also grab savings on streaming sticks.
Roku has announced an incredible summer sale - and there is something for everyone. Whether you are preparing to head to university for the first time, or simply want to refresh your living room, it is the perfect time to grab a discount.
To level up the entertainment experience, there’s a perfect Roku device at all price points. The back to school sale is running throughout August - and even stretches into the autumn on some products.
Across Roku devices, the Hotel & Dorm Connect feature connects to public Wi-Fi in student accommodation without a fuss. Also, Headphone Mode lets kids and nest flyers enjoy their favourite shows and films with up to four connected audio devices, which is a life-saver for students in a dorm with thin walls or for parents who don’t want to hear THAT children’s show’s theme song for the hundredth time (baby shark I’m looking at you).
But what offers are available? And more importantly how can you grab them and how much you will save.
JVC Roku TV
If you are looking for a TV to fit in a dorm room (or a bedroom) this is a fantastic option. It comes in at a small price tag but punches well above its weight.
For the avid streamer, it comes with access to apps such as Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video and more via Roku TV. You can customise your home screen to show your favourites and pick up where you left off.
The TVs boast HDR10 and HLG content, which looks oh so good with vibrant colours and true-to-life contrast. And you can also show off to your new friends by controlling your TV using just your voice - it works with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.
You can catch up on shows you've missed straight from the TV guide with Freeview Play. It also comes with three HDMI ports for connecting set top boxes, consoles, and other devices.
The TV comes in 24-inch, 32-inch, 40-inch and 43-inch sizes, so can fit no matter the size of the room. Start at £119 and ranging to £189, you can save as much as £30 in the deals.
You can buy the JVC Roku TVs directly from Currys PC World website and nab yourself a real bargain. But act quick because the sale ends on 20 August - just a week from now.
TCL Roku QLED TV
For cinephiles and those who want to treat themselves, you can grab a pretty tasty discount on this QLED Roku TV from TCL. It has got good reviews since being revealed and is able to, like the JVC, punch above its weight.
Using Quantum Dot LED (QLED) technology it brings stellar picture quality, without the astronomical price tag of some other major brands. The home screen has shortcuts to your set-top box, live TV, games console and more – handy!
