3. The Roku feature tends to only add a couple of bucks to the price of set, and when there's a sale, they could be even less, so why not. it's one less device, cable, power supply and remote to deal with. At least for a while.
I have two Roku TVs and am quite pleased. I buy low-end (32" 720p $98 and 43" 4K $200) so upgrades after X years aren't painful.
