TV dies? Get a different TV.
Roku dies or won't run the latest apps? Get a newer Roku.

There's no reason to buy a all in one. Don't want a separate box? I have a Roku stick on the TV in the bedroom, plugs into one of the hdmi ports in the back of the TV, the power cord plugs into a USB port on the back of the TV, no separate power cord. You don't even see it.
Current tv is 10 years old and it has a great picture Most of the smart features no longer work. On occasion it will shut down and turn back on. Tvs are so cheap right now I cant see them going anywhere but up. I am leaning towards a google tv due to roku not having a web browser or bluetooth.
