The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other LED, QLED and OLED TVs plus TV mounts, streaming media players, antennas, cables and satellite gear we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
At $399.99 for a 65-inch QLED with the Roku OS built in, the 65R5D5 undercuts many competitors while offering a smart platform most people already know how to use. Roku's interface is fast, non-cluttered, and free of the aggressive ad overlays that plague some competitor platforms. The QLED panel adds color volume over a standard LED, though specs for refresh rate are not disclosed in the listing.
Connectivity is notably modern: USB-C is included alongside Bluetooth, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi. USB-C is still uncommon on TVs at this price, which is a real convenience for users who want to mirror a laptop or connect a newer device without a separate adapter. The physical footprint measures 56.9 inches wide by 35.5 inches tall with a 13.9-inch depth when the stand is on, and the unit weighs 30.9 lb, making it a reasonable one or two person lift.
Buyer sentiment is strong at 4.5 stars from 269 reviews, which gives this model a meaningful signal of real-world satisfaction. That said, neither the refresh rate nor HDR format details are published in the available specs, which matters for gaming or HDR-mastered content. If those specs are critical to your purchase decision, confirm them with Roku or the retailer before buying.
Pros
- Native Roku OS is fast, intuitive, and supports a massive app library
- USB-C connectivity is uncommon at this price point
- Strong 4.5-star average across 269 reviews signals reliable real-world performance
- QLED panel improves color saturation and brightness over standard LED
- Competitive $399.99 price for 65 inches
Cons
- Refresh rate not specified, a key gap for gaming buyers
- HDR format support is not listed in available specs
- No reported monthly purchase volume makes sales momentum harder to gauge

What buyers say
A 4.5-star rating from 269 verified reviews is a strong signal for a TV at this price. That volume of feedback over a meaningful sample size suggests consistent build quality and picture performance. The main gap in buyer data is the absence of a monthly purchase figure, but the review count itself indicates solid sales history.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Roku 65R5D5 have HDMI ports?
The listing does not publish a specific HDMI port count in available specs. USB-C, Ethernet, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi are confirmed. Contact Roku support or check the full product page for the complete port breakdown before buying if HDMI count is important to your setup.
Is the Roku smart platform good for everyday use?
Roku is widely regarded as one of the easiest and fastest smart TV interfaces available. It supports Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus, Hulu, Apple TV, and thousands of other channels. The platform receives regular updates and does not require a Roku account for basic live TV or antenna use, which is a nice flexibility.
How does QLED differ from a standard LED TV?
QLED uses quantum dot filter material to boost color accuracy and brightness compared to a conventional LED-backlit LCD panel. The result is generally wider color gamut and better peak brightness, which makes HDR content and bright room viewing look better. It is not the same as OLED, which uses self-emitting pixels, but QLED tends to be brighter at lower cost.
