More often than not, when friends and family members ask me for TV-shopping advice, they’re looking for an affordable, easy-to-use smart TV, not a top-shelf, ultra-premium model. As a result, I often find myself recommending Roku TVs.

Roku TVs aren’t as ubiquitous as they were a few years ago, but every now and then, a slam-dunk deal on a Roku TV materializes. In what Amazon has labeled a limited-time deal, you can pick up a 65-inch Roku Select Series TV for just $348. That’s about one hundred bucks off its usual price. Let’s catch you up to speed on what makes the Select Series such a sensible option for bargain-hunters.

This Roku Select Series TV is one of the newest Roku TVs on the market. Its picture quality won't blow you away, but for a sensationally low price, you're getting access to one of the best streaming platforms on the market. This is a great opportunity to save money on a 65-inch smart TV with simple, easy-to-use features.

This TV isn't the brightest set on shelves, nor does it offer high-level gaming features. That's not the type of TV it strives to be.

Instead, the Roku Select Series is laser-focused at the type of shopper who just wants a dependable, easy-to-use smart TV. It's an especially good pick for people upgrading to 4K for the first time.

Why do I love the Roku experience so much? There are three reasons: Its app support is robust, there are minimal ads and, as mentioned, it's incredibly easy to pick up and learn.

This is an especially good pick for people upgrading to 4K for the first time.

If you're looking to upgrade to a TV whose picture will wow viewers, this probably isn't the TV for you. The Roku Select Series supports HDR content, but we're talking about a TV basic LED backlighting and no quantum dots.

And while the Select Series supports 4K gaming at 60Hz, it doesn't come with cutting-edge features for competitive play. You're essentially getting a barebones gaming experience.

Still, these shortcomings aren't that big of a deal if what you need is a fuss-free, ultra-affordable smart TV. At $350, it's a steal.
