Be warned if you use a Roku, Firestick, Google TV, or Apple TV don't use the USB on the TV for power. Plug it directly into an electrical outlet.

The excessive heat from the USB can overheat the TV and either shorten its lifespan or damage the circuitry and render the TV useless.

Been there and learned a valuable lesson, good thing TVs don't cost as much as they did.
