The new LG OLEDs have great blacks also because you can totally turn off individual pixels.

I was looking at that. How much is the service?

Roku doesn’t have any subscription fees, you’d only have to pay for the streaming services you want...

There are a couple of free services as well, and some of the pay services give some free access to their programs. We recently watched the Jordan documentary on ESPN (via Roku) without any trouble but a week later couldn't access the Armstrong documentary without membership.

This is the free service we use but I think there are others.

Average price of a service is probably $9-$15 per month. Check content so you get the one(s) you'll actually watch.
