As for the price, I've found them to be generally the same or less that similar non-Roku TV's.

I have a Roku TV and two other non-Roku TVs with Roku sticks. I really don't see much difference in their available features. All of them have the live TV channel guide and the voice command feature. It also appears as though the Roku remote or a universal remote can be programmed to switch the TV inputs. I agree that it is convenient to have everything built in to the TV, but, I think you can achieve the same functions using the proper Roku external device. Also, I like the fact that you can always replace the Roku stick with the latest upgraded device without buying a new TV. Personally, I wouldn't go out of my way to buy a Roku TV.
