    What's the difference between Smart TV and Roku TV ?


    I know what is a Roku TV. It has Roku pre-installed.

    These days it is lot easy to distinguish between the two. Smart TVs have good CPU with quad core processor to run OS like lg webos and Android tv on it. They also have built in features like wifi, Miracast, bluetooth connectivity etc.. Roku TV is a sort of media player or device which is used in tv which lacks smart tv software and hardware features.
