The above method is preferred because the laptop keyboard is the ONLY one required for maneuvering the display. You don't need the TV remote or the ROKU remote.
Thank-you
That's what I do now too.
But with a Roku and the right hardware [computer, smartphone or pad] you can send the signal wirelessly.
